![]() In one of the more arresting recitals in this summer’s Aspen Music Festival lineup, Phan built the entire evening around Muhly’s work. When I reviewed Nicholas Phan last fall singing Nico Muhly’s song cycle Strangers (see review), it was a highlight of the string quartet Brooklyn Rider’s San Francisco program. Thursday night, Melissa White introduced herself to Aspen by making her violin sing elegantly in Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. On Tuesday, tenor Nicholas Phan delivered thoughtful and eloquent songs that reflected universal aspects of immigration, from the thrill of anticipation to the vagaries of reality. Two highly satisfying recitals highlighted the midweek concerts at the Aspen Music Festival. Bach - Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV1041 : Melissa White (violin), Aspen Ensemble, Harris Hall.
