A Fun Night at the Opera Atelier’s ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO reviewed by Stanley Fefferman
October 29, 2013. Elgin Theatre, Toronto. Opera Atelier’s cheerful remount of its 2009 production of Abduction from the Seraglio (Mozart’s most-popular-in-his lifetime opera), had much to make me happy. The cast members are extraordinarily good to look at in their … Continue reading

October 12, 2013. Roy Thomson Hall, Toronto. If there were a Nobel Prize for Violin, I would nominate James Ehnes. His playing of Britten’s Violin Concerto with the Toronto Symphony was drenched with emotions—pathos, irony, lamentation, sarcasm, tenderness and bliss—displayed … Continue reading

The Maiskys Opulent and Luminous Concert in Koerner Hall reviewed by Stanley Fefferman
October 10, 2013. Koerner Hall, Toronto. Lily and Mischa Maisky, a remarkable daughter-father duo, flipped my musical expectations of the program they performed. Lily Maisky’s playing so perfectly matched the intentions of her famous father that my attention often rode … Continue reading
