Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Antheil

A diverse triple bill, both musically and choreographically, this has been a gamble that's paid off.

Pour leur première fois au Festival Musica de Strasbourg, l'ambitieux Quatuor Béla crée son spectacle « Barbarie », tourbillonnant et fascinant voyage désarticulé dans l'intrigante histoire de la mécanisation des instruments.

Under the baton of John Storgårds, Vilde Frang made her Cleveland Orchestra debut in Britten's Violin Concerto, with works of Antheil and Schumann rounding out a diverse selection.

Pacific Northwest Ballet presented an interesting and mostly very good repertory program at the Joyce with standout performances by James Moore and Carla Korbes. These are some of the finest dancers around, espectially the women.

Taking a “transatlantic bridge” as their theme for the evening, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center featured music by Ravel, Gershwin, Korngold and Antheil. 

The day before Stravinsky’s 131st birthday, the Auckland Chamber Orchestra and conductor Peter Scholes presented a programme built around the Russian composer’s Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments and featuring works by Lyell Cresswell, George Antheil and Brett Dean. Lyell Cresswell is a New Zealand composer currently living in Scotland.

If the Cadogan Hall’s “Celebrity Recital Series” conjures up unwelcome memories of Jordan’s brief career as a singer, never fear: the Hall has attracted a very different type of famous figure. Hilary Hahn is as unlike Katie Price as could be imagined: small, dark and unassuming, you could pass her in the street without a second glance.
