Lloyd About Town

Lloyd Schwartz's April 4 Boston Phoenix column is available online. Lloyd reviews two Celebrity Series presentations this week: eighth blackbird at Sanders and the London Philharmonic at Symphony Hall on March 26 and March 24, respectively.

On The London Philharmonic concert:

"The big hit was young Armenian virtuoso Sergey Khachatryan in the Khachaturian Violin Concerto. He’s got big sound and big soul. And he’s fearless. He managed to make this longwinded showpiece sound compelling and, in the honeyed slow movement, moving."

He also reviews Frederic Rzewski's March 28 recital at Boston Conservatory, Emmanuel Krivine & the BSO, the Boston Lyric Opera’s La traviata, and Teatro Lirico’s Die Zauberflöte.

Lloyd is a treasure, always informative and his column gets at least a little bit of space to showcase his Pulitzer-winning criticism (but you knew that already):  Lloyd Schwartz, The Boston Phoenix, April 4.
