A night of light entertainment with the Knights at Carnegie Hall
With an old swing tune, a retrofitted Ligeti piece, a Syrian wedding and a Vivaldi sinfonia, the Knights mixed old and new without quite blending the two.
A dance with past and present in Boston
The concerto is not only a dance with tradition, it’s a dance between Adès and his frequent collaborator and friend, Kirill Gerstein.
Social turmoil and a personal meditation
Kirill Gerstein’s broad pianistic expertise impresses in a mixed programme at Wigmore Hall.
Luminous decay from Imogen Cooper at Kings Place
A programme of late Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert explores music at the limits.
Not with a whimper but a bang
Commendably fine playing from the LPO conducted by Thomas Adès, and with Kirill Gerstein as soloist, three less than familiar works throw up overwhelming volumes of energy.
