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

Three sopranos, two Glorias and one French composer who isn’t great box office: the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus sound great, but where is the audience?

Another day, another impeccable concert by Ensemble 360 and friends at this year’s Sheffield Chamber Music Festival.

The pianist impressed but the soprano proved less than ideally suited to some of the selections in a wide-ranging recital program that included Rachmaninov, Strauss, standards and spirituals.

A horn recital or a turgid England football international? Ben Goldscheider makes it an easy choice at this year’s Bradfield Festival of Music. 

Filmic Grażyna Bacewicz, virtuosic Saint-Saëns with Simon Trpčeski, intruiging Lutosławski and a freshly minted Ravel’s Boléro are expertly conducted by Thomas Søndergård. 

La violinista Ana María Valderrama y el pianista David Kadouch ofrecieron en Salamanca un programa variado y atractivo que fue dedicado a la memoria de Federico García Lorca.

A delightful seasonal showcase from the SCO Chorus, directed and conducted by Gregory Batsleer, in a programme of ancient and modern music and texts in the historic setting of Greyfriars Kirk.
