Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Symphonie Nr. 4, H.305

Andrei Ioniţă proved to be an ideal interpreter of Dvorak's Cello Concerto in a concert that also included a magnificent performance of Martinů's Fourth Symphony.

Andrés Orozco-Estrada and the LPO offer an eclectic and unusual mix of works which, despite commendable playing, never quite added up to a satisfying whole.

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra produced wonderfully supportive playing for pianist Alexander Romanovsky in Rachmaninov’s youthful First Piano Concerto and vividly brought to life Martinů’s Fourth Symphony.

Ludovic Morlot couples an intriguingly pessimistic new work by Giya Kancheli with Martinů's end-of-war Symphony no. 4 and the Brahms Violin Concerto featuring Renaud Capuçon.

The Czech Philharmonic serve up a home brew which proves a heady mix in Edinburgh's Usher Hall

For a description of Elisabeth Leonskaja’s formidable and eloquent pianism I find myself drawn to the opening bars of Rachmaninov’s G sharp minor Prelude, given in this concert as an encore.
