David Grimal captures the rhapsodic nature of Chausson and Ravel's scores, but how well does the conductor-less approach work in non-concertante scores?

Pour ce concert avec l’Orchestre National de France, Jean-Claude Casadesus choisit d’élaborer son programme autour d’œuvres françaises composées entre 1863 et 1924. Un choix compréhensible pour celui que l’on tient comme l’un des derniers gardiens des traditions de cette musique. Un tourbillonnement spatial et musical qui ne saurait être possible sans le minutieux travail de Casadesus, ni le panache de Sarah Nemtanu.

C'est une bulle d'oxygène, un espace d'humanité, de liberté, un enthousiasme contagieux, grisant, incandescent. Ce sont les Dissonances qui autour d'un programme Ravel nous laissent entendre une nouvelle manière de faire de la musique en orchestre.

Last night’s concert in the Usher Hall contained so many different strands, that it defies simple categorisation. One of a series of nine concerts in Scotland, its first objective was clearly to promote Miss Benedetti’s latest CD, The Silver Violin. This recording features tributes to many of the great composers who wrote film music for the silver screen, hence the title.

When I collected my ticket for this evening’s Late Mix concert in Hall Two of The Sage Gateshead, I was somewhat surprised to see it marked as unreserved seating. A computer glitch, I thought, until I walked into the hall and found that the usual rows of seats in this small, in-the-round auditorium had been replaced with café-style tables and chairs.

Even though I’ve been to quite a lot of concerts these past few years, I still can’t put my finger on why some concerts attract many attendees and especially why some are so sparsely visited.
