there are as many moments of dismal banality as there are of arresting beauty.

Messiah at the Coliseum - Times Online
It wasn’t Messiah. It wasn’t even shocking. Just embarrassingly lame.
Worse, some fine musicians have been dragged down with it.

BBC - BBC Radio 3 Programmes - Performance on 3, Athalia
The concert for which I returned my ticket - which was resold.
They tried to persuade me at the box office that it wouldn't sell; I explained I was less concerned about the money than the thought that someone might be disappointed while I've got an unused ticket; the phoned me on Thursday and I received the paperwork Friday.
Contrast the Classical Brits: Jimmy tried to return our tickets - we used Angie and Dick's, who couldn't use them because Dick's aunt funeral was in Ireland on Tuesday and his mother died Wednesday, both in their 80s so good innings - and was told at the Box Office that the promoters would not allow refunds on returns; he wishes he'd handed them randomly to someone hanging around ticketless

La Resurrezione at the Barbican live reviews | Music | Arts & Entertainment - Times Online
President Obama wasn’t the only star who landed in London on Tuesday night. Emmanuelle Haïm, the queen of baroque music conductors, touched down as well, ready to rock and roll with her harpsichord and fire up another performance of Handel’s early Italian oratorio La Resurrezione.
Classical review: La Resurrezione, Barbican, London | Music | The Guardian
n music, as in art, depictions of Christ's resurrection are thin on the ground. Composers, like painters, have seemingly found Christianity's central mystery unapproachable, as if the means to deal with the subject were beyond the creative imagination.
Handel: Tamerlano (Opus Arte) - MusicalCriticism.com (DVD review)
Vocally, he's not particularly well suited to the music, looking and sounding tense during long coloratura passages, and he does sound his age at times, even if his vocal presence is undimmed. Yet it has to be said that the magnetism of his performance is in another league to that of the rest of the cast, all of whom are baroque specialists. One can't ignore Domingo when he's onstage, and although he's never going to conquer this repertoire absolutely, the expressivity of his singing is as magical as it ever was. Though he seems uneasy in his opening aria, 'Vo' dar pace a un alma altiera', he grows in vigour as the opera proceeds, and his final scene is a tour de force of dramatic pathos.
