	Sir Colin Davis Continues His LSO Live Sibelius Cycle Review By Joe Milicia
		hen Colin Davis recorded the seven Sibelius symphonies with the Boston Symphony in the mid-1970s (he was their Principal Guest Conductor, and not yet Sir Colin), the performances were very well received.
		Davis takes the chorale-like coda that surprisingly ends the first movement more than "un pochettino largamente," but the sounds are sweet and warm, not ponderous.
		Curiously, in both his BSO and LSO performances Sir Colin partly submerges the trombone in the choir of the other brass.

	classical music - andante - colin davis on hector berlioz
		Colin Davis adored Berlioz's music, and in the late 1950s he began to emerge as one of the composer's finest and most vital advocates.
		Gradually Davis took on almost all of Berlioz's orchestral, choral and operatic oeuvre; his performances were acclaimed for their blend of sensitivity and delicacy with brilliance and fire.
		For the 2003 Berlioz bicentennial, Davis and the LSO are paying special tribute to the composer with a series of three programs in London (February) and New York (March); he returns to the U.S. in April to lead the New York Philharmonic in BÃ©atrice et BÃ©nÃ©dict.

	LSO/Sir Colin Davis @ Barbican Hall, London : concert review
		Sir Colin looked bored and the LSO sounded in third gear, though the clarinet solos were played with a haunting lilt.
		Yet both Kissin and Davis warmed up considerably in the final movement, and the pianist in particular was in his prime.
		Sir Colin seems to understand this music instinctively; his spontaneous relationship with the LSO brings out both the poignancy and the drama of the piece.

		But the best Vitelia you will find in Della Jones' interpretation for this role, under Hogwood,....I have never seen someone like her singing this role, that is one of the most exquisite and dificult roles in the universo of the Mozart operas.
		Colin Davis shows his usual flare for Mozart as evidenced in his other Mozart operas on Philips.
		Davis guides them all (and his orchestral and charol forces) through a committed, nuanced, and emotional performance, so that this work of love, intrigue, and forgiveness builds to the cathartic finale Mozart intended.
