    I enjoyed this concert…the CSO sounded fantastic. It was interesting to hear a whole program of repertoire that I've never heard live before. The Bartok was intense, but I was disappointed that from my seat in the mezzanine, I couldn't hear Michelle De Young very well (though I heard from people on the main floor that she was very loud down there!!!). Nonetheless, I think she made an incredible Judith…WOW!

    The CSO concert was amazing. The orchestra was wonderful and all the soloists were fabulous! Bluebeard's Castle in Hungarian, live in Ann Arbor. How incredible is that? I LOVED it. . . . even better than my old, practically worn out recording of Christa Ludwig and Walter Berry.

    Bluebeard's Castle was well done, and the Chicago Orchestra's distinctive sound was very well suited to the piece. A concert of this kind on a Wednesday night was a challenge, but it was worth the effort to attend.

    I loved this concert! I enjoyed the contrast in pieces on the program, with Bluebeard's Castle being the highlight of the evening for me. Michelle DeYoung belting out that high C at the start of the 5th door was incredible! Check out these two reviews of the Chicago Symphony's concert:
