CAMERATA’S “DANIEL” MAKES ANOTHER
BEST-OF-2014 LIST!


 
“Anne Azéma’s new production of this thirteenth-century masterwork, heard in November, was a musical and theatrical spectacle. Her reconstruction of the music from facsimile sources, a welcome departure from the popular Noah Greenberg edition, mixed the fluid style of chant melody with dance rhythms characteristic of the era. A strong cast of singer-actors, led by Jordan Weatherston Pitts in the title role, brought new life to this ancient piece. (AK)”

A CRITIC CITES CAMERATA’S “DANIEL”
AS A BEST-OF-2014 EVENT

 

Here’s what Brian Schuth of the “Boston Musical Intelligencer” has written, as part of that online journal’s year-end wrapup (scroll ~2/3 of the way down the page):
 
“Boston Camerata’s Play of Daniel has haunted me since I saw it a couple of weeks ago, something I didn’t expect. Top-rank music making combined with the expert use of space and a hypnotic performance from Jordan Weatherston Pitts as Daniel.”
 
His wonderful review is online here.
