Measure for measure

Ensemble Doulce Mémoire, Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake , Robert Spano’s Sibelius , H&H’s St. Matthew Passion
“Great Ball at the Court of France,” which Ensemble Doulce Mémoire presented at the First Congregational Church in Cambridge last Friday, under the auspices of the Boston Early Music Festival, was a reminder that classical music used to be all about two popular forms, song and dance.

Hit and miss

Visiting and home teams swing for the fences

Good vibrations?

Roger Norrington cleans up classical music

Pensées mal gardées

Plus, fantasy Filles
Boston Ballet’s second production of Frederick Ashton’s La Fille Mal Gardée made it clearer than ever what a fractured fairy tale this is.

Dancing to the music?

Mark Morris and George Balanchine
Seeing Mark Morris Dance Group do his L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato here in Boston back on January 20 and then New York City Ballet perform George Balanchine’s Concerto Barocco and Symphony in C the following evening in New York was a reminder that the two 20th-century choreographers most noted for their use of music couldn’t be more different.

In search of modern art

‘Degas to Picasso’ at the MFA; ‘Fra Angelico’ at the Met  
Despite offering many pieces that haven’t been seen in decades, the Museum of Fine Arts’ current “Degas to Picasso” is no blockbuster, and it doesn’t pretend to be.
