Prom 28: to the Moon via Russia

The BBC NOW gave us two hearty Russian works and celebrated the lunar landing with a world premiere of Huw Watkins' The Moon.
Japan Philharmonic sounds world class under Inkinen

I’ve heard the Japan Philharmonic on several occasions in the past, but this was the first time with Inkinen, and the difference was startling. In previous encounters with this orchestra I noted a rather bright, at times even glaring sound. No longer. Inkinen has instilled instead a generously warm, even, glowing sonority and depth of sound that one hears in Europe’s finest ensembles.
Japan Philharmonic Orchestra makes a rare visit to London

Disciplined playing from the Japan Philharmonic brought mixed rewards in a programme that inspired only fitfully.
The Earth and other planets from the Belgrade Philharmonic
