Her festival appearances include the Bad Kissingen Festival in Germany, the Colmar Festival in France, the Rachmaninoff Festival in Novgorod, Russia, the Festival del Sole in Napa Valley, California, the Tuscan Sun Festival in Cortona, Italy, and the Domaine Forget Festival in Canada in collaboration with cellist Matt Haimovitz. She has performed on some of the world’s leading concert stages including Lincoln Center, the Auditiorio Nacional in Madrid, the Moscow Conservatory, and in a special appearance at Windsor Castle. Opera News noted “It's gratifying to find a singer involved so intimately and actively with the music of her time” and Music Web International added “Lisa Delan is probably one of the most versatile singers now before the public”.Īmerican soprano Lisa Delan has won acclaim as an outstanding interpreter of a vast repertoire and is recognized for her versatility and breadth of accomplishment in opera, song, and recording. Reviewing Delan’s 2016 recording Out of the Shadows, critics praised her “musicianship and responsiveness to the text” (Gramophone), “scrupulous and passionate accounts” (New Music Connoisseur), “liquid emotion and straightforward braininess” (Blog Critics), and “clarity and rhetorical relevance” (The Rehearsal Studio). These songs are interpreted by the renowned American soprano Lisa Delan, together with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Marseille under the baton of Lawrence Foster.ĭelan has been featured on varied PENTATONE releases, including three American song recitals. The collection of songs featured on this album reveals the diversity of Dickinson’s oeuvre, as well as the rich 20th- and 21st-century tradition of American art song composition. A Certain Slant of Light features musical settings of Dickinson poems by four outstanding American composers: Aaron Copland, Gordon Getty, Jake Heggie and Michael Tilson Thomas. The exceptional nature and musicality of Emily Dickinson’s poetry has attracted many composers.

So, enjoy the speaker now, but it's a bit of a 'one night stand mount' product when compared to models that have traditionally 'stand mounted by their man' over time.Aaron Copland (1900-190): 8 Poems of Emily Dickinson: I know this because I know Sony's history in this regard. So, I don't give this new Sony as much credibility as its price wants me to, because this speaker will be out of production in a cycle or two. If you look at the history of many (most?) of the most esteemed speakers in this category, they have a history of incremental improvement and of ongoing product support, even trade ups!
These models are hit and run, which I think diminishes their value. I have not seen a tradition of models evolving or being improved over time, no evolution of a model (think Vandersteen, Thiel,) etc. The main problem I would say "I have" with makers like Sony or Technics is that they disappear from the hobby for X number of years, then 'mount an assault on the state of the art' with products like this, then disappear again shortly thereafter. I hope they are great and wish Sony the best. But $6,000? I don't know.įirst, great post, low2midfi! I am with you! It might be time for Stereophile to emulate our friends from the UK and do some head-to-head group testing of products. If I were so endowed financially, I might save my pennies for another year or so and get these highly decorated stalwarts:Īnd, based on my actual experience of listening at a show, we might, again, save a few more dollars and get this speaker which has some proprietary technology to bring to the table: Or for roughly the same price, we can afford ourselves of a tried and true design, with some elements of advanced materials science:Īnd for less than 1/2 the price, it might be time for a very long overdue test of these speakers that boast plausible technology, perhaps better than this product under review, and the same billed weight: I hope we can see a test of these-reportedly outstanding-speakers for $2,500 less:
#Audirvana plus single song cycle drivers#
But we are to pay $6,000 for some Scanspeak drivers in a laminated wood enclosure? I am sure that these speakers sound fine.
