Reviews

On this evidence the Shanghai ers are a bright and bushy-tailed orchestra. Their evident commitment and growing sense of style in another culture’s music are heightened by some evidently distinguished orchestral principals who catch the ear here, especially the first flute and bassoon. ... Carmina Burana: don’t be put off by its seeming laid-backness. This aspect of Yu’s interpretation serves to heighten the folk aspects of the work, too often submerged in a kind of aggressive concert-hall banter. Soloists and choir (both Vienna imports and Shanghai children) are uniformly excellent, Tézier especially being subtle, hypnotic and genuinely witty as opposed to crude buffoMike Ashman
