Review: SIMON RATTLE AND THE BRSO AT CARNEGIE HALL at Carnegie Hall
Simon Rattle is possibly the most interesting conductor before the public today. And one thing audiences can count on is that no two performances he conducts will ever be identical. There is no question that he brings forth fire and magical playing. There is no question he bring forth colors that you never heard in a piece before. But sometimes, one wonders if its all simply design just to sound different, not necessarily better than the rest.

BWW Review: THE CUNNING LITTLE VIXEN, London Coliseum
After opening night was postponed due to Storm Eunice, the ENO's new production of Leoš Janáček's opera is a welcome slice of brightness in the current gloom. One thing we have all seen in the last few years is nature's incredible ability to renew and refresh, whatever mankind may throw her way.
The ENO's first new production of The Cunning Little Vixen since 2001 serves as a reminder that life continues and nature always renews.
