A performance that sacrificed a degree of Gallic fragrance in its pursuit of precision.

Experiments in music and ideas brought together by the London Sinfonietta and guests at a special concert all about space and time.

Royal Northern Sinfonia's popular Conductor Laureate Thomas Zehetmair makes a well-received return visit to Sage Gateshead, with symphonic music ranging from an exquisite jewel by Webern through to a fizzing performance of Schubert's "Great" Ninth.
