Music review: ASO’s Heroic
Here was standard fare if ever there was, but with artists so far above the ordinary, there was everything to admire in the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s Heroic concert.

Though it felt disconnected, the ASO’s Grandeur was a courageously programmed and enthralling concert. Not the least surprise was hearing a soprano singing into a megaphone.
The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra rounded out its year with flair in a Christmas concert that had more than the usual surprises. Splendid solo and choral singing added much charm along the way.
The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra helps Birds of Tokyo soar, but is given too few chances to shine in the Adelaide leg of the Birdsongs tour.
To hear Anthony Marwood play Korngold’s Violin Concerto genuinely as a concerto and not as film music was revelatory, and so was Chloé van Soeterstède’s conducting in two much-loved works by Debussy and Rachmaninov.
The ASO’s cathedral series could not have come a better time, and particularly this one called ‘Glory’. With conflict and tensions around the world, those seeking a moment of sanctity were amply rewarded.
