Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Im Sommerwind, Idyll for large orchestra after a work by Bruno Wille

Runnicles und sein Orchester bieten trotz fallender Blätter Sommerliches, aber auch Stilles, Metaphysisches und Poetisches im Matinee-Konzert.

Guest conductor Matthias Pintscher pairs Webern's "idyll for large orchestra" with Richard Strauss' Oboe Concerto, featuring an elegant Philippe Tondre as soloist.

Frank Peter Zimmermann dazzles in an angelic tribute, while Alan Gilbert and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester emphasise clarity at the expense of warmth.

As part of the LPO’s 2020 Vision series of concerts, a hotchpotch of works were gathered together to produce a rather mixed bag of an evening. 

Bernard Haitink and Leonidas Kavakos join the New York Philharmonic for a programme of Webern, Berg, and Beethoven.

François-Xavier Roth conducted the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in a varied programme of Mozart, Webern and Strauss, concluding with a powerful performance of Also Sprach Zarathustra at St David’s Hall in Cardiff.It was hard to spot a linking factor between the programmed works, but they seemed to complement each other nicely.
