Music that is vividly alive & vibrant, yet requires concentration & dedication to listen to: Anselm McDonnell's Kraina
Anselm McDonnell: Kraina; Joshua Ellicott, Laura Sinnerton, Dermot Dunne, Rebecca Murphy, Cahal Masterson, Elizabeth Hilliard, Alan Smale, Annette Cleary, Rachel Quinn, Nicole Rourke, Dermot Dunne;Reviewed 26 February 2024New music for voice and instruments tackling the complex and the difficult, creating music that is more than just a song, and pushing performers to emotional and expressive limits.Kraina is a word in Old Polish meaning edge, borderland, or frontier. Belfast-based composer Anselm McDonnell's latest disc, Kraina, is his second album, released on his own label [see my review of Light of Shore, McDonnell's first disc]. The new disc features four works for voice and instruments (I hesitate to call them songs, some are far more substantial than that), all concerned with the edges and crevices around home: depicting people searching for home, caught between homes, or our destructive relationship with our planetary home. The performers are Joshua Ellicott, tenor, Laura Sinnerton, viola, and […]

As chilling and emotional as ever: Kate Lindsey returns as Offred in ENO's strong revival of Poul Ruders' The Handmaid's Tale
[…] etched with Madeleine Shaw as Rita, the housekeeper, Zwakele Tshabalala as Nick, the driver, a woefully underused Susan Bickley as Offred's Mother and John Findon as Luke, Offred's husband. A big mention here to the poignant, and incredibly poised, performance from Elspeth McDonald as Luke and Offred's daughter (doubling with Francesca Ditchburn). More 'blink and you miss them' roles, important in the ensemble but without much time in the spotlight, were Annabella-Vesela Ellis as New Offglen, Alan Oke as the Doctor, Helen Johnson as Moira's aunt, Lydia Marchione as Warren's wife, plus Adam Sullivan, Ronald Naire, Robert Winslade Anderson, Lixin Liu, Amy Kerenza Sedgwick and Sophie Goldrick.Juliet Stevenson was poised and rather moving as Professor Pieixoto, her poignant final envoi to Offred (whose fate remained unknown) emphasising the problem with transporting Margaret Attwood's novel to other genres (opera, television series); Attwood's prose is so wonderful and so luminous, it hardly need […]
