An excellent Rhenish from the Rhineland
Schumann's Third returns to its spiritual home as François-Xavier Roth conducts the Gürzenich Orchestra in a fine Rhenish.
Not all mineshafts fully accessible in Cologne
Brio is one important element in the mining of Romantic feeling. Not everything worked in this combination of Mendelssohn, Bruch and Schumann.
Christiane Karg excels in Berg with the MCO and Fabio Luisi
Luisi programmes Berg, the dark harmonist, and Schubert, the blithe melodist, as a musical yin and yang in Cologne.
Mathis Kaspar Stier takes the bassoon spotlight in Jolivet's concerto
A strong connection between Manfred Honeck and the WDR musicians was clearly palpable during the entire performance.
Punch and passion from Gürzenich Orchester Köln
