February 23, 2011

Choose a date
Aristocratic poise and intensity of passion are phrases that have been used to describe Anne Sofie von Otter’s interpretations. Her most recent recording of Ombre de mon amant with William Christie’s Les Arts Florissants has been commented on as follows …Each vowel, ornament and phrase has been shaped into a narrative dart meant to pierce the listener’s soul… The ability to touch another person like this is nothing short of miraculous. Anne Sofie von Otter’s outstanding career continues to give audiences the marvellous opportunity of listening to and watching one of the world’s great mezzo soprano voices. We are indeed honoured.

Jazz pianist, composer and arranger Brad Mehldau has toured and recorded with some of the great names in jazz including Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker and Charlie Haden. His trio's .most recent release, Highway Rider, has, in Mehldau's words, found inspiration in Beethoven with his other artistic model being Thelonius Monk. Quite the combination! Jazz is not unlike life and Brad Mehldau is a beacon of musical sincerity.He is a complete artist, a great jazz star.
