Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Die Entfürung aus dem Serail, KV384: Ouvertüre

Langrée's incoherent but enjoyable program skips through five centuries of music history from Lully to Valerie Coleman. 

The Hong Kong Philharmonic opens its 45th season with Mozart, Stravinsky and Rachmaninov. 

Une Rose des vents orientée vers le le Proche-Orient avec l'Ouverture de L'Enlèvement au Sérail de Mozart et une création mondiale de Jean-Luc Fafchamps : La Lettre soufie : Fà.

Karina Cannelakis and Hong Kong Phil excite and please with disparate programme of Mozart and Strauss. 

For once, the musical menu was a good deal more sultry than the temperatures in the Royal Albert Hall as the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic made a notable debut in a programme full of what Rudyard Kipling may well have described as “more-than-oriental splendour”.

Verdi and Wagner may be turning 200 in 2013, but certainly that doesn’t make their music any more or less worth celebrating than it was last year, or will be in five years’ time.
