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

The Czech orchesta and Daniel Raiskin bring Janáček from Ostrava, along with evergreen Bruch and a noisy Shostakovich Tenth Symphony. 

The Estonian National Male Choir make a strong impression, while Jennifer Pike excels in a cornerstone of her repertoire. 

From Mozart and faux Pugnani to a Miklós Rózsa rarity, this was a brilliant showcase for the British-Polish violinist's artistry. 

With a smaller programme and a humbler premise, the stars of the show – those young, immensely talented performers – could have shone even brighter

Bruch’s Violin Concerto bo. 1 had a delicate soloist, but an outspoken orchestra, while Saint-Saëns’ “Organ Symphony” struck all the right notes.

The touring Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra brings a 'Finnish Sandwich' to Leeds.

Serebrier and the ECO deliver fine performances of Haydn, Beethoven and Vaughan Williams.  

The Manchester Camerata under Gábor Takács-Nagy with violinist Jennifer Pike played three English works and Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony.

It’s rare to be at a concert, of any genre, and to experience a very profound sense of involvement on the part of the performers, combined with total commitment to the music, both in terms of fidelity to the written score and integrity of performance.
