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

Als Zuhörer geriet man ganz in den Sog dieser faszinierenden Musik: eine Meisterleistung sowohl auf Seiten des Dirigenten wie des Orchesters!

The bond between Dohnányi and his old orchestra remains strong. 

A polished Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto from Arabella Steinbacher preceded a forceful Shostakovich 5 from Michael Sanderling as the Dresden Philharmonic continue their UK tour.

El director y la Orquesta Nacional exhibieron como línea general una imponente ductilidad sonora que impregnó a la sala de una llamativa multiplicidad cromática y de un movimiento rítmico incesante.

Fabio Luisi and the DNSO did not disappoint audiences in San Francisco, presenting a captivating program of Beethoven, Strauss and Nielsen.

A firecracker performance by Vladimir Jurowski and the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin giving urgency to music composed at a time that echoes our own.

Rousing performances of Beethoven and Brahms from Karl-Heinz Steffens and the Philharmonia came either side of a polished, but slightly reserved, Mendelssohn Violin Concerto.

Salonen en magicien du rythme offre un Beethoven euphorique et hédoniste.

Difficult to imagine anyone finding fault with Arabella Steinbacher's Brahms concerto – or finding a similar consensus about Salonen's Sibelius Five.

Dohnányi and the Philharmonia produce rousing Beethoven and Bartók with clarity and bite. Steinbacher and Power present different approaches to Mozart in a spirited and flawless performance.

The highlight of the Dresden Philharmonic's evening in Birmingham was Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, with Arabella Steinbacher's performance a joy to experience. 

As part of the short series of concerts curated by Jakub Hrůša, Bohemian Legends,focusing on Czech music from its golden era 1850 – 1950 and featuring three of its greatest masters (Dvořák, Janáček and Suk), the Philharmonia treated us to a collection of almost excessively rousing works.

For the second of his two concerts conducting the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit presented a program consisting of highly contrasting works by Stravinsky and Mendelssohn, including Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, celebrating the 100th anniversary of work’s first performance in 1913.

This was a programme that presented what are probably each of its composers' most popular works, played by one of London’s very best orchestras, under the direction of one of Europe’s most venerable and respected conductors. Add to that the winning presence of a young and vibrant soloist, and it is not surprising that the concert was well attended.
