Past Production Reviews
4In its 10th anniversary season, the orchestra annually selects musicians in rigorous auditions, then rehearses them in a multiweek training residency. Then come performances at Carnegie Hall and on tours both domestic and abroad. Sir Andrew Davis, who conducted Saturday night, was one of numerous major-league conductors who’ve worked with the orchestra. Hilary Hahn, a star in her own right, was the soloist in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.
Mezzo-soprano Natasha Novitskaia, came out with a red dress and red flower…she gave a very sexy performance of Carmen’s aria “L’amour est un oiseau rebelle.” Her mezzo voice easily dipped down to the lower register and up to the higher notes in her range. At the end, she threw a red flower into the audience.
