Dalit Hadass Warshaw: Sirens
BMOP/Sound, 2025
10/10
Listen to Dalit Hadass Warshaw: Sirens
The Grammy Award winning outfit, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, take direction from Gil Rose for this debut by Dalit Hadass Warshaw, where orchestral sounds from many decades is present and appreciated.
“Responses” opens with 3 chapters, where the strings and winds emit much beauty and wonder amid the strong attention to mood and tonality.
“Camille’s Dance” lands in the middle and is a more firm moment, as loud brass and well timed percussion highlight a striking delivery of tension and sophistication.
“Sirens: A Concerto For Theremin And Orchestra” exits, and finds itself in cinematic territory, where the floating winds and slightly eerie mood makes for an involved and harmonic finish thanks to Carolina Eyck’s theremin.
An ensemble who never disappoints, this installment is among their best, as Warshaw’s inimitable lyricism, orchestral prowess and emotional richness is illuminated so well.
