Album Review: Erich Kleiber/ Staatskapelle Berlin/Berlin Philharmoniker/ Eloquence Remaster
Very highly recommended!
Cabaret Review: Jacqui Dark is Alive and Well and Living In Newtown
Jacqui Dark is a consummate entertainer, generous with her emotions. This was a visceral performance which more than matched the courage, the physicality and commitment demanded by the songs of Jacques Brel. She gave her all.
Album Review: Two/ The Marais Project
Two introduces us to engaging repertoire by important composers of a different time and place. The clever sonic and stylistic pairing of two instruments which are equals yet opposites is a treat.
Concert Review: Vestige – A Hidden Curiosity/ Kammerklang
“…an accomplished and enlightening performance of contemporary Australian art song that espouses both traditional and cutting- edge soundscapes.”
Album Review: Bliss Of Heaven- Music Of The New World/ Rojas
A distinctive and unusual album. Rojas is an exceptional pianist and anything but orthodox, relying on essential South American rhythms and connecting with the old masters.
Album Review: Living/ Paul Cutlan String Project
Sit back and relax to the cool jazz that Living offers; or be challenged with its more confronting and cathartic pieces. Either way, Living will take you deep into the folds of another world.
Album Review: Beautiful World/Frances Madden
This CD delights all the senses…sparkles, entertains, charms and in more ways than one, makes you want to get up and dance.
Album Review: City Lights/ Batiashvili/ Deutsche Grammophon
A portrait album which includes a suite inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s films and music, coupled with autobiographical elements based on key cities in Batiashvili’s life.
Concert Review: Alleluja – An Easter Celebration/ Bach Akademie Australia
The Bach Akademie Australia’s performances are gleaming gems in Sydney’s musical calendar.
