Performing Rites: how Stravinsky’s Sacre du printemps still shocks

Mark Pullinger, 29th March

Over a century after its premiere, Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring still has the power to shock. Vasily Petrenko offers insights, while Tamara Rojo reflects on one of the most powerful choreographies, the version by Pina Bausch.

Sergey Khachatryan, élyséen, illumine Brahms à Genève

Thomas Muller, 1st June

L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande aura émerveillé dans l’accompagnement d’un Sergey Khachatryan au violon élyséen dans le concerto de Brahms, et paru un peu technique dans un Sacre du Printemps néanmoins rutilant et adolescent sous la direction de Jonathan Nott.
