Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Antwerp Symphony Orchestra

Philippe Herreweghe conducts Marie-Elisabeth Hecker in Schumann’s Cello Concerto in this fine programme in the Concertgebouw Brugge. 

Christian Tetzlaff conjures brilliant colour and ecstatic passion from Szymanowski's First Violin concerto in Ghent.

À la tête de l'Antwerp Symphony Orchestra et d'un formidable Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe propose un Requiem de Verdi orageux et passionné malgré un inégal quatuor de solistes.

In a brilliant performance of the "Leningrad" Symphony, Jaap van Zweden proved that great music knows no cultural borders.

Mezzo-soprano Stephanie d'Oustrac also met the dramatic and musical challenges of Berlioz's Les Nuits d’été.

Despite distancing, the members of Collegium Vocale Gent filled the Queen Elisabeth Hall with an impressively cohesive sound, transparent and powerful at the same time. 

The Dutch conductor returns to his old orchestra for a concert stream of Beethoven, with Nicholas Angelich, and Tchaikovsky. 

Špaček subtly illuminated the tough and serious first movement with shafts of light, convincingly sweetened his tone for the lyricism of the intermezzo-like Andante moderato, and gave a dazzling display in the exhilarating finale.

The Rococo Variations show Pyotr Ilyich at his most beguiling and Gerhardt’s cello made the Andante sostenuto variation sing from every bar.

The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra make Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony sound like new, while Alice Sara Ott’s joy in playing Mozart is palpable.
