Reviews

‘A soaring, swooping soprano solo, which Hannigan delivered from the podium with radiant ease before plunging straight into the Strauss’ ★★★★ The Guardian, Sep 2023

‘Hannigan is a supremely mobile conductor, at times almost dancing, her hands shaping the music like a sculptor who works in sound and silence. … The virtuoso orchestra flourished under this mesmerising conductor.’ ★★★★ Evening Standard, Sep 2023

‘When the London Symphony Orchestra brought in that force of nature Barbara Hannigan as an Associate Artist, the expectation must have been that the Canadian singer and conductor would deliver extraordinary programmes such as this.’ ★★★★★ The Times, Mar 2023
