jennlkA couple of weeks ago, I went to usher (and hear) the first half of Hugo Wolf's Morike-Lieder. German art-songs. In German, natch. With sur-titled translations on the screen at Mendelssohn Theater. Quite well done, and good music. (the second half was performed a couple of days later and the usher crew was full for that performance, as were the seats.)
Last Saturday, I went to hear an entirely Sibelius concert - a choral melodrama, a violin concerto, and his fifth symphony, performed by the Minnesota Orchestra. I like Sibelius in general, and it was a good concert.
In other music news, word is that the new music director of the Detroit Symphony is providing a shot of (much needed) energy to that organisation. I hear there is an effort to get him to come direct the FCB next year during the 55th season.
