Classical Highlights for March 2026


We’re back with classical music reviews! Thank you all for the kind and supportive messages after the passing of James Manheim last October; they were very appreciated. We have got a couple of new writers we think are very good, and we hope you do as well. Among their first pieces is an evaluation of Hans Zender’s orchestration and elaboration of Schubert’s Winterreise, sung by tenor Allan Clayton (pictured) with the Aurora Orchestra. Below are their initial reviews, plus some from one of our long-time staff editors, Keith Finke, who hopes to have more time to write this year as well.
