A Young Pianist of Promise

Edgar Moreau and David Kadouch make the case for ressurecting the work of Rita Strohl, thrilling in transformation of Racine's Bérénice into Cello Sonata form.

What a pleasure it was to see the effervescent Marc Minkowski conducting a programme of 20th-century French music with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. It was certainly a lively and well-thought-out concert, with Minkowski bringing all the clarity and detailed awareness of colour that he has bought to his performances of early music.

Martha Argerich joined the Manchester Camerata and her friend Gábor Takács-Nagy for a memorable evening of Bartók, Beethoven and Pärt at the Manchester International Festival.

When a young talent confirms his musical promise it a lovely thing to hear and to see. This is the case with French pianist David Kadouch who performed at the Verbier Festival on Saturday.Last year David was awarded the "Prix d’honneur" at the Verbier Festival Academy which entitled him to play at this year's Festival.

Vingt-cinq compositrices, vingt-six compositions en un concert, du piano seul au lied et à diverses formations de chambre, c'est une belle idée mais c'est aussi une source de frustration...

Imaginé par le réalisateur Bertrand Bonello, le spectacle mêle musique, théâtre, danse, projections visuelles et témoignages, offrant un voyage sensoriel et intellectuel profondément émouvant.
