Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Parsifal: Karfreitagszauber

Ingo Metzmacher leitet mit Werken von Wagner, Nono und Bruckner einen inspirierenden Abend beim Musikfest Berlin.

Christian Thielemann beweist einmal mehr, warum er als Spezialist für die Musik des deutschsprachigen Kulturraums zwischen 1850 und 1930 gilt.

Äußerst intensiver, aber irritierend disparater Konzertabend mit Bruckners Dritter und Auszügen aus Wagners Parsifal

Passionnants dans des extraits de Tristan et Isolde et Parsifal de Wagner, Les Siècles se manquent sur le piano choisi pour les concertos de Liszt, ce que Bertrand Chamayou ne peut pas compenser.

Cellist Li-Wei Qin plays Tchaikovsky with a fantastically in-form West Australian Symphony Orchestra, in a programme with other works by Mozart and Wagner. 

Malgré la joie de retrouver Jonas Kaufmann en forme dans le rôle de Tristan, la soirée wagnérienne a globalement manqué d'inspiration.

The Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai impresses in “bleeding chunks” from Wagner operas at the Festival de Pâques d'Aix-en-Provence.

Dirigés par Daniel Harding, les Berliner Philharmoniker illuminent la nef du musée d'Orsay dans un florilège d'œuvres françaises et allemandes. Bryn Terfel les accompagne dans une Walkyrie céleste.

Alina Pogostkina and the Belgrade Philharmonic strings shone in Peteris Vasks' atmospheric Distant Light while Fabrice Bollon entertained with Shostakovich's most exuberant symphony.

In Wagner and Bruckner, Daniele Gatti is proving to be a great standard-bearer for one of the world’s greatest ensemble’s traditional values

A religious-themed program made for a particularly moving Easter weekend concert from Dutoit and the CSO, highlighted by the serenity of Fauré’s Requiem.

Dignified and intellectual Wagner, Schumann and Mendelssohn with the Hong Kong Phil.

Délicatesse et conviction de l’Orchestre national de Lyon dans Wagner, Mendelssohn et le Requiem de Fauré

La Staatskapelle Berlin y el maestro Barenboim ofrecieron un intenso concierto, con una memorable Sinfonía núm. 1 de Elgar

A superlative performance of Shostakovich first violin concerto by Kavakos and lush textures in Gergiev's Wagner turned tonight's concert in a highpoint of the RCO's season.

A rare performance of Bruckner's Overture in G minor introduces luminous Wagner and lively Beethoven from the Hertford Bruckner Orchestra. 

The Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester is one of the finest youth orchestras in the world. Bringing together young musicians from all over Europe, from Portugal to Russia, it is a model of international co-operation.

You can, more often than not, tell how good a performance of Mahler's Fifth will be from its opening trumpet call. Here, the Philharmonia's principal, Alistair Mackie, struck just the right balance between stridency and tragedy. Daniele Gatti's direction of this symphony was not, however, one of balance, still less one of compromise.

In a concert featuring two works of Richard Wagner (one a concert piece, the other an adaptation from an opera score), the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under conductor Jaap van Zweden made their biggest statements in works by Mozart and Debussy. The fascinating program paired the Wagner works, one in each half, with those of the supposedly more “demure” high-classicist and arch-Impressionist.
