There is not much uplift, though, in the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho’s wrenching and gravely beautiful “Passion de Simone,”
Wonderful, I hate uplift.
“La Passion de Simone” may be the most despairing of the three. It is unremittingly bleak
Perfect.
I can't wait for this at Disney Hall in January, though until Mr. Salonen raises his baton will I believe it's going to happen: it's been postponed twice already.
BTW Lisa, single tickets for the Los Angeles Philharmonic go on sale next Sunday.
Since Upshaw is healthy, there's a staging, and it's been performed in NYC, I believe it'll happen!
