Ali-Landing plays with the kind of empathy, insight, and determination that is enviable for any performer, regardless of age — not to mention her laser-focused connection with the Sinfonietta and Clark, who led from the podium with balletic poise. I look forward to future performances of “breathe/burn” that may be a tad freer, a tad more luxuriant in the work’s transitional moments. But until that day, Ali-Landing and Clark’s interpretation of Thompson’s work will echo happily in my ears. Kudos to the Chicago Sinfonietta for convening such a triumvirate.
