<\/p>\nBarbara Hannigan has been a phenomenon in the classical music world for years. She grew into a soprano who does not shy away from challenging repertoire and later surprised by also conducting. That combination is rare: it requires physical control, artistic overview and an unerring sense of timing. In Amsterdam you can now experience for yourself how she fulfills this double role, together with the Concertgebouw Orchestra.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The program Hannigan has chosen is carefully constructed. The evening opens with the lyrical splendor of Richard Strauss' Vier letzte Lieder<\/em>, a cycle often seen as his musical farewell. Hannigan sings these works herself, and those who know her voice know that she possesses a rare clarity and intensity. Next, the gaze returns to the 18th century, with a symphony by Joseph Haydn. His music is lively, playful and shows the roots of the symphonic tradition.<\/p>\n This is followed by the work of Jean Sibelius. His music is steeped in Scandinavian landscapes, with long melody lines and sudden eruptions of power. The Concertgebouw Orchestra has a reputation with this repertoire, and under Hannigan's direction, it takes on a personal and new dimension. Finally, the program features a contemporary composer: Sohrab Khayam, who brings together Western and Persian influences. His work gives the evening a modern accent, where tradition and experimentation go hand in hand.<\/p>\n What makes these evenings special is the unity Hannigan manages to forge. She is literally in the middle of the music: singing, conducting, leading. As a result, the performance does not feel like a series of separate pieces, but as one story. For the audience, it becomes a journey through different times, styles and emotions, with Hannigan as guide.<\/p>\n \"Hannigan proves that leading and singing at the same time is not only possible, but compelling.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Concertgebouw is the setting for this. The Great Hall is famous for its acoustics, in which every nuance comes into its own. Doors open forty minutes before curtain-up and drinks are included during intermission. This makes it not just a concert, but a complete evening out.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Barbara Hannigan has been a phenomenon in the classical music world for years.
