People Are Talking: UMS Presents Apollo’s Fire at Hill Auditorium:
What energy! What pulse! What love for every individual note! What transparency!
How could I have missed Apollo’s fire for so long?
Having had my baroque ears opened by Harnoncourt, Koopman, Kuyken and sorts, this is a new aha .. that’s how it should sound!
UMS continues to open windows, broadening my horizons… introducing me to performers whose work was unfamiliar to me, continuing to stretch my slowly growing appreciation for vocal performance. Thank you, again and again. Tonight is no different. Apollo’s Fire delivers Vivaldi and Handel with verve and Philippe Jaroussky touches your soul. Bravo!!!

People are Talking: UMS Presents Goran Bregovic and his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra at Hill Auditorium:
The base drum and base tuba were not even on stage.
What else was playback?
It seemed that the trumpet players did not move their cheeks!
Pretty accurate comments.
Rhythmically boring, uninteresting melodies, very high volume-not a pleasant experience.
