Locke’s List for 2023: Notable Operatic Recordings Plus
[…] officer’s attempt to stop a massacre, by American troops, of innocent civilians in that Vietnamese town—the work features tenor Rinde Eckert, multi-instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Vanessa Võ, and the Kronos Quartet—and an enormously effective work about police brutality against Black Americans: Blue, composed by the renowned Broadway composer Jeanine Tesori, to a libretto by Tazewell Thompson. Other genres: I should also mention non-operatic “bests” of the year: a collection of songs, chamber, and piano works by Samuel Adler (who is still composing at age 95!), two CDs of fresh and appealing pieces (including the intriguing Improvisation Diary) by Allen Shawn, four colorful and stirring orchestral works by Israeli-born, Grammy-winning composer Avner Dorman, and a 2-CD recital of pieces, splendidly rendered by Kenneth Hamilton, that Liszt based on operas of the day (some now forgotten, but Liszt reminds us some of their better features, and then elaborates on them in transcendent fashion). .

San Francisco Opera Opening Concert
[…] is right; too bad he and Gheorghiu never sang, say, La Traviata back in the day. I'm sure they sounded great together.And actually, in his prime, he and Kurzak would have sounded great together. She was last here in 2012 as Gilda in Rigoletto, and wow, she's a terrific singer who has it all: a very beautiful and distinctive voice, flawless technique, great style.
