Winter Spring Tokyo 2012
Mahler's 9th - Triphony Hall - New Japan Philharmonic - Daniel Harding: one of my favorite works, decent performance, but nothing comes close to the Bernstein live recording on DGG
St. Matthew Passion - Seoul Arts Center - Leipzig Gewandhaus and Thomanerchor - during a trip to Seoul I got to hear this amazing, riveting performance. The European tradition came through and I was transfixed and transported.
Edogawa Phiharmonia - Steven Charette - Supe's Light Cavalry Overture (ta da dum da dum, ta da dum da dum, ta da dum da dum da da dum da), Dvorak Cello Concerto, Brahms' 4th symphony - went to support Steven, thought the music dark but well performed, repetoire not my cup of tea, enjoyed the Nimrod variation as an encore.
Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra under the incomparable Eliahu Inbal performed Mahler's Kindertotenlieder and Das Lied von der Erde (my second hearing of that this year) at Suntory Hall with soloists Iris Vermillion (what a wonderful name) and Robert Gambill. A thoroughly engaging and inspiring performance..
