Here’s what Allan Kozinn of the New York Times had to say about the Tanglewood performance of Robin Redbreast: Eve Beglarian uses more tactile, inventively morphing sounds in “Robin Redbreast” (2003), an odd but evocative setting of a Stanley Kunitz poem for tenor (Martin Bakari) and piccolo (Henrik Heide).
