A Young Composer's Big Chance

Brett Campbell - April 3, 2007
It's common for people approaching middle age to suddenly pursue youth — a sports car, a new job, an affair, a face-lift.

Glamour Goes Only So Far

Jason Victor Serinus - April 3, 2007
Measha Brueggergosman is a trip. A statuesque soprano with a larger than life personality, her eye-catching hair, nose ring, huge smile, and propensity to perform barefoot toy with us as if to say, "Here I am, boys and girls.

Rich Drama in Santa Rosa

Beverly Wilcox - April 3, 2007
An ad hoc chamber group can sometimes be more interesting to listen to than a full-time professional quartet. With the latter, you get glossy perfection, with every detail planned in the course of endless hours of rehearsal.

Concentrated Handel

Kathryn Miller - April 3, 2007
Pocket Opera's concert-version of Handel's Flavio, presented on Saturday at the Florence Gould Theater in the Legion of Honor, combined humor, drama, and musicianship, all signatures of Donald Pippin's company.

A Master of Intimate Works

Jerry Kuderna - April 3, 2007
In the 40 or so years that I've been attending Richard Goode's concerts, none has failed to challenge me to hear music with fresh ears. His solo recital Monday night at Davies Symphony Hall, presented by San Francisco Performances, was no exception.

Welcome Guests

Michael McDonagh - April 3, 2007
Having people over for the first time can be a trial. You don't know whether to say a convivial "pleased to meet you," or sit on your hands.

Singing Across the Channel

Heuwell Tircuit - April 3, 2007
The historic love-hate relationship between England and France found a musical solution Friday in Old First Church, when artists affiliated with the San Francisco Opera presented a mixed program of almost entirely 20th-century vocal works as their "Basically British X" program.

Young Musicians Standing Tall

Robert P. Commanday - March 27, 2007
Well, what do you know? Here's a cheery, feel-good story from the White House that was born in Berkeley. It's about a bunch of East Bay teenage musicians who stood tall and brought them to their feet at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue last Jan. 22.

Marian Devotion From Scandinavia

Anna Carol Dudley - March 27, 2007

Trio Mediæval returned in triumph to San Francisco on Sunday night. The Trio continues to produce hit recordings, and we are lucky that San Francisco Performances has had the wisdom to present them two years ago and again this year. In Herbst Theatre its program of religious music, grounded in 12th- and 13th-century Roman Catholic music, was expanded to include early nonliturgical music and new settings of ancient texts, as well as traditional Norwegian hymns.

Setting the Bar in Beethoven

Michelle Dulak Thomson - March 27, 2007
Ah, a Takács Quartet recital. Another few months gone (the violist-groupie in me thinks), another rare chance to hear Geraldine Walther play. Only I find that I'm not really thinking about the Takács' visits like that anymore. Walther is a great violist, but the Takács with her in it is something more interesting — a great quartet, and one that seems to become greater by the minute.
