Sweet and savoury from the LPO
An intelligently planned and generous programme featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Andrés Orozco-Estrada and Peter Donohoe in two neo-classical works by Stravinsky paired with two German Romantic works.
Marek Janowski returns to Weber’s Euryanthe
Emily Magee was in glowingly refulgent voice as the 'damsel in distress', Euryanthe, in this concert performance of Weber's rarity.
Men in Motion
Outstanding examples of men dancing are book-ended by two new works that are badly misjudged as a means of entertainment
Demons and angels: Der Freischütz at La Scala
Hartmann's staging takes a bizarre twist in the end since so far the staging had followed the naïve story very faithfully without any weird implications.
Collaboration in action at Cadogan Hall
An exploration of expression within controlled structure from Van Wauwe and the Quatuor Van Kuijk, in passionate Webern, tense Durupt and spirited Mozart.
