To the taste of the public
A strong orchestra, a director known to the Donostian public, an attractive program. All about to start the Quincena Musical. The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra has an intense trajectory, if we add that our Gasteiztarra director Juanjo Mena has been headquartered since 2011, it is normal for the Kursaal Auditorium to be full of people in both sessions (especially in the second). The result, the good one, no more.
The first day was a great impression, considering that the soloist was our Asier Polo bilbaíno rapist. Today Polo is one of the best soloists of this instrument, certainly, and so demonstrated by Edward Elgar in his Op. My youngest to cello. 85 when interpreting the concert. Barely but never square, always maintaining the flexibility of the phrasing, it made a kind of fantastic, elegant and technically excellent version. Polo presented with tip: Beautiful Prelude of the Fantasia Suite of Gaspar Cassadó.
On the second part of this first day the Orchestra surprised the audience with the Fantastic Symphony of Berlioz, op. 14 works. Mena was able to unmask the personality of each party perfectly. All the families of the Orchestra lit up with this work and got a broad cast of applause.
The next day's session didn't give us that much emotion. Opera concert version is not easy for interpreters or the public. The argument is complicated because it is not represented. On the other hand, maintaining the balance between the sound volumes is practically impossible because the orchestra and the interpreters are at the same height – when the orchestra is in the background it does not “eat” the voice. We could not therefore say that it was a bad session, but it was not very good either.
The work of the soloists was direct. Ricarda Merbeth, in Leonore’s role, behaved correctly, while Louise Alder, in Marzelline’s role, did not persuade us too much. On the other hand, we had terrible male voices. James Creswell played a powerful and convincing role in the role of Rocco; Baritone Detlef Roth promptly performed the role of Don Pizarro and Lower David Soar rounded up the role of Don Fernando. I should also like to highlight the work of Orpheon Donostiarra. n

Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]
