Orchestre El Gusto lets sounds of Kashba Blues blow through @hollandfestival like warm desert wind

They are gentlemen of age and therefore with a history. Grey or bespectacled or bald - or with a combination of all three. Their music has taken them everywhere. And now they are in a packed Carre: the Orchestre El Gusto. To their own delight, as they thank the audience for coming. The musicians from the kasbah of Algiers play the music as it is

Moritz Eggert: 'I want to give Wagner back his innocence'

Met Tragedy of a Friendship herdenkt De Vlaamse Opera het tweehonderdste geboortejaar van Richard Wagner. Het betreft een productie van de controversiële kunstenaar Jan Fabre, de auteur Stefan Hertmans en de componist Moritz Eggert. Wanneer ik de Duitse toondichter benader voor een gesprek over deze opera, reageert hij geschrokken: er is ab-so-luut geen sprake van een opera! Wil ik dat misverstand alsjeblieft voor ééns en altijd de wereld uit helpen?

Waarom mag Tragedy of a Friendship geen oper...

Dance group LeineRoebana breaks boundaries in Cello Biennale

Dance and music belong together. Yet there is always something new to discover in this combination. The Amsterdam Cello Biennale invited dance group LeineRoebana to create a dance and music performance with cellist Jakob Koranyi and CvA Percussion to music by composer Tan Dun: 'Snow in June'. In recent years, LeineRoebana has shown like no other group how enriching unconventional combinations between dance and music can be.
Natuurlijk is er vaker gedanst op cello- en sla...

With her heavenly voice, Shara Worden seems to transcend time and space #hf12

Shara Worden bounces lithely across the Bimhuis stage, dressed in a weird, multicoloured fairy outfit with plush balls. And she sings the stars from heaven, with insane timing and agility. Her heavenly voice seems to dance with amazing dynamics. From frighteningly subtle and rarefied, from warm and deeply resonant to shuddering high notes at hurricane force. She... 

Delft opens with fewer chamber music surprises than other years

For another 15 years, the Delft Chamber Music Festival, so named to reflect its international character, has encompassed 15 years. Violinist Isabelle van Keulen handled the chamber music festival's programming for the first ten years, Lisa Ferschtmann - also a violinist - took over from her five years ago. But even this already successful festival fears the upcoming budget cuts. A pity, because what... 

#HF11 Weather barbed, lovely and humorous notes at mini-festival Xenakis 1234

Met de strijd tussen Titanen en goden op de berg Olympus opent Xenakis 1234, een minifestival in het grote Holland Festival. In vier concerten, verspreid over twee dagen, staat Iannis Xenakis centraal. Daarnaast is ook nog een omvangrijke tentoonstelling aan de Griekse componist gewijd, die van huis uit wiskundige en architect was.
Zeg Xenakis en wie niet zijn schouders ophaalt, holt gillend weg, vrouwen en kinderen eerst. Buren kun je ook prima de stuipen op het lijf jagen met zijn weerbarstige...

So up close, and so small occupied as at La Petite Bande, Bach's St John Passion comes in in a very distinctive way.

Gerlinde Sämann Ik ben geen kenner van de uitvoeringspraktijk van Bachs Johannes Passion en ken dat andere stuk, de Mattaheus Passion, vooral van een paar tv-fragmenten en verregaande bewerkingen zoals die bij Platels Pitié. Verwacht van mij dus geen oordeel over hoe goed de versie was, die op 5 april 2011 in het Concertgebouw te zien en te horen was,… 

RPhO's gift to the resurrected city falls short at opening Gergiev festival

Tim Hugh
By Willem Jan Keizer
Rotterdam – De vijftiende editie van het Gergjev Festival is vrijdagavond in bijzijn van Hare Majesteit de Koningin in concertgebouw de Doelen officieel van start gegaan met een concert van het Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest onder leiding van Valeri Gergjev.

In veil spiral by Zaha Hadid, Bach sounds beautiful, but cellist Queyras lacks feeling #hf10 #gast review

 Sometimes we are not at a concert or performance ourselves, but there is a spectator who dedicates a beautiful or critical reflection on a performance in more than a few sentences. You may submit those pieces, and if they are deemed good enough, we will repost them on The Dodo. With our heartfelt thanks, of course. Mail your pieces to: dedodo@cultureelpersbureau.nl...
