What's Interesting

Conductor Karina Canellakis returns with the story of Wagner’s fated and god-wrecked twins.
The microcosmic Act 1, a kind of play within a play, is just the beginning of a journey but packs more drama per moment than many entire operas.
Lutosławski strings powerful musical threads through one of his most celebrated works.

What Critics Are Saying

“Canellakis’ high-wire act was a dare. The players were kept on the edge of their seats. Something could have derailed it at any moment. Nothing did. It was great.”

—L.A. Times

“[Soltani’s] cello sound has the fuzz and richness of caramel, and he plays with an easy warmth, [...] drawing [the orchestra] after him like a halo around a candle flame.”

—Washington Post
