basel sinfonietta
Conductor Ivan Anguélov
Basel
You are hearing Bernstein's Overture from "Candide"
"Orpheus"
"At the podium we could see IVAN ANGUËLOV, who is reputed to specialize in
opera gala performances
of this kind, because he knows how to move brilliantly among
the most different musical styles. With
sympathetic understanding he accompanied and carried the
singers and inspired the orchestra basel sinfonietta, which normally plays mainly
concerts with contemporary music. In this case, however,
it followed the conductor into the unknown territories of
sparkling Rossini, dramatic Verismo or Slavic
Pastoso."
