Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Symphonie Nr. 99 in Es-Dur, Hob.I:99

Roberto Paternostro and the Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok give plenty of spirit to Mahler's vocal symphony... sometimes to a fault.

A sunlit performance of Brahms from Stephen Hough, with playful energy in Haydn from Mark Wigglesworth and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

The passionate darkness of Brahms' First Piano Concerto is contrasted with David Sawer's The Greatest Happiness Principle and Haydn's elegant and sophisticated Symphony no. 99.

Guest conductor Nicholas McGegan also led pleasing performances of Haydn’s Symphony no. 99 and Mendelssohn’s “Scottish” Symphony. 

Finghin Collins and Rosanne van Sandwijk shine as soloists while the Orchestra of the 18th Century was as authoritative as ever under the baton of Kenneth Montgomery. 

Among the LSO’s many attributes is their bold and rich sound, those enormous waves of music that pin you to your seat at the very back of the Barbican Centre.
