Robert Trevino conducts the RLPO in a stormy Mahler 5th after a deeply personal account Mozart's Clarinet Concerto by Julian Bliss

A classy performance under the baton of Sir Mark Elder unites a seemingly disparate sounding programme.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra under Andrés Orozco-Estrada explore Romanticism in Weber and Rachmaninov, with Juian Bliss providing a classical contrast in Mozart's clarinet concerto.

Directed by guest conductor Tito Muñoz, the São Paulo State Orchestra (OSESP) performed a programme centered around the different conceptions of contrast, with music by Takemitsu, Beethoven and Nielsen.

Chief conductor Juanjo Mena conducted a programme of energetic Beethoven and Schubert alongside an original reading of the Mozart Clarinet Concerto at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall.Hearing little-played Beethoven is a rare treat in the concert hall, and Mena made a strong case for the great man’s Ritterballett (“Knight Ballet”) music.
