Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Moz-Art à la Haydn

Un bien beau concerto de Tchaïkovski par le divin Vadim Gluzman, malheureusement la tension ne vint pas du côté de Maestro Yamada qui nous fit louper le train pour la Sibérie… 

Manchester Camerata’s series of Mozart concertos, an ongoing theme in their 40th anniversary season, came to a close with pianist Ferenc Rados joining fellow Hungarian Gábor Takács-Nagy for a superb account of the Piano Concerto no. 15 at the Royal Northern College of Music.The broader theme of the evening, though, was movement, and two modern works began proceedings to fascinating effect.

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra presented a Russian program with a twist; “A Russian Flirt with Haydn”. All four works and three composers that graced the stage were influenced by Haydn, most obviously Schnittke and his Moz-Art à la Haydn. The music worked well together, though I would suspect that this is more due to the Russian background than Haydn’s influence.
