Speaking of the Met, did anyone attend today’s Requiem? Reports, please, if you did.
No we did not but we are sure it was brilliant. What we all needed was another mediocre Requiem.
Just based on the live-stream (and I know that isn’t a definitive take–but I didn’t win a ticket on the “requiem-lottery”) –it came across as a rather lack-luster reading—with the exception of Olga B.
It was stunning. Especially, Levine, orchestra and chorus.
All the soloists were good to excellent, with Borodina especially superb.
