Schoenberg - A Survivor from Warsaw
Shostakovich - Symphony No.13 'Babi Yar'
Orchestre National de Lille conducted by Joshua Weilerstein
Auditorium du Nouveau Siècle, Lille
Philharmonie de Paris



L'autre grande réussite de ce concert est celle des voix. Que ce soit la performance de la basse Dmitry Belosselskiy, au chant profond et impressionnant. Ou encore l'excellence de la formation britannique du Philharmonia Chorus. La parole est ici essentielle, fièrement portée par un soliste et des chœurs en osmose. Un impressionnant moment d'orchestre et de chant.

The other great achievement of this concert is the vocals. Whether it's the performance of bass Dmitry Belosselskiy, with his deep and impressive singing, or the excellence of the British Philharmonia Chorus. The spoken word is essential here, proudly carried by a soloist and choirs in perfect harmony. An impressive moment of orchestral and vocal performance.

Joshua Weilerstein, l'Orchestre National de Lille et le Philharmonia Chorus donnent tout et font corps avec la musique écrasante et dévastatrice qui dénonce avec flamme et courage la haine de juifs, de l'humiliation de Dreyfus à la terreur des pogroms et de la barbarie nazie.

Joshua Weilerstein, the Orchestre National de Lille and the Philharmonia Chorus give their all and become one with the overwhelming and devastating music that denounces with passion and courage the hatred of Jews, from the humiliation of Dreyfus to the terror of the pogroms and Nazi barbarity.

Le flux vocal, source de toutes les dénonciations, exhortations, compassion, est superbement tenu par le narrateur chanteur ukrainien Dmitry Belosselskiy. Basse ample et caverneuse, souvent en dialogue ou associée au chœur d'hommes (impeccable Philharmonia Chorus préparé par son chef, Gavin Carr), le soliste réalise une trajectoire à la fois sobre, expressive, pleine de noblesse, exhortant à la fraternité. Le programme est repris ce soir à La Philharmonie de Paris : incontournable.

The vocal flow, the source of all the denunciations, exhortations, and compassion, is superbly conveyed by the Ukrainian singer-narrator Dmitry Belosselskiy. A full and cavernous bass, often in dialogue or associated with the male choir (the impeccable Philharmonia Chorus prepared by its chorus master, Gavin Carr), the soloist achieves a trajectory that is at once sober, expressive, and full of nobility, urging brotherhood. The program is repeated this evening at the Philharmonie de Paris: unmissable.

Le Philharmonia Chorus renouvelle la prestation admirable entendue chez Schönberg : plénitude et puissance du chant, qualité intrinsèque des pupitres au sein d'un bloc d'une grande unité, couleurs et nuances.

The Philharmonia Chorus renews the admirable performance heard in Schönberg: fullness and power of the singing, intrinsic quality of the sections within a block of great unity, colors and nuances.
Rémy Louis, diapasonmag.fr, 19 March 2025



Quand le Philharmonia Chorus entame le poème juif, les cuivres bouillonnent encore mais les voix les dominent bientôt avec ferveur. La qualité du chœur d'hommes fera également partie de la réussite de la Symphonie n° 13 de Chostakovitch ensuite. Apparaissant toujours équilibré avec une sonorité ronde et une diction précise, il se tuile aisément avec les pupitres de bassons, de contrebasses et de cuivres graves.

When the Philharmonia Chorus begins the Jewish poem, the brass is still seething, but the voices soon dominate with fervour. The quality of the male choir would also be part of the success of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13. Always balanced, with a rounded sound and precise diction, it easily meshes with the bassoon, double bass, and low brass sections.

Victor Sgarbi Opera Singer Baritone Lyric Opera Festival Londonthe splendid entrance of Victor Sgarbi, purporting to be a priest. It is something about Sgarbi’s brimming energy...
 

​





Victor Sgarbi has a lot of fun with his role as The Devil and, yes, he probably does have the best tunes.


12/8/23 (Gary Naylor - Broadway World




​



 Then comes the splendid entrance of Victor Sgarbi, purporting to be a priest. Something about Sgarbi’s brimming energy signals he’s not who he says he is, as he unpacks his crucifix and chalice from his suitcase with all the aplomb of a travelling salesman. And indeed it transpires that he’s Demonio, preying on the dying to try to win their immortal soul for Satan. Michael Walling’s direction makes a lot of the wonderfully surreal action that follows the discovery of Demonio’s true identity, which ends with nurse and doctor trying to garrotte him with the line from Loyola’s drip. It’s somewhere between medieval mystery place and pantomime.

Victor Sgarbi Don Giovanni Opera Singer Oratorio Lyric Baritone Mozart Handel
As Don Giovanni, Victor Sgarbi, a Baritone and opera Singer based in London, has performed lead roles, in La Traviata, Un Ballo In Maschera, Il Trovatore, and Aida.
"In the first part of the piece, Ignacio encounters two Angels and a Demon: but the outcome of their struggle for his soul is never really in doubt, and the Demon emerges as a comic character, deliciously performed at the British premiere by baritone Victor Sgarbi" - Brompton Little Oratory- Zipoli's San Ignacio de Loyola - Magazine Musical Opinion - 07/22


"Victor Sgarbi gives sturdy performance. I thought there was visible conflict in Sgarbi’s eyes as he convinced Violetta to leave Elijah. It gave an extra dimension to the part of Sinclair, making him seem like a man in complex situation rather than your traditional evil and domineering father figure"  King's Head Theatre - La Traviata - Frank McHugh - Arthurs Seat - 10/18


"Victor Sgarbi blusters his way through as an MP driven by personal ambition that he dresses up with shreds of self-deluding guff about “making a difference”" - La Traviata - King's Head Theatre - Plays to See - 10/18

​
"Sgarbi too has a voice well worth hearing: rich in tone, lucidly enunciated, and catching the overriding cynicism of this Spanish rake aptly and cleverly. He strutted to good effect, quite incapable of seeing the fiery doom his grotesque activities will land him in" - Don Giovanni - Manchester - Roderic Dunned - 6/16.
