Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Edmund de Waal

Two outstanding world premières honour the centenary of a great composer 

You are sitting in the choir stalls of the Royal Festival Hall, watching the ceramic artist and writer Edmund de Waal address you, his back to an enormous sea of empty, grey, imposing seats. He is delivering a vivid narrative account of a day in the life of a young aristocratic Jewish boy in early 20th-century Vienna.
