Most music Festivals only have to deal with demanding divas, mercurial maestros or bad weather. In Istanbul there is a lot more at stake.

Jeremy Denk's take on Brahms didn't impress Brahms, the Piano Concerto no. 1 in D minor proving an unequal, if refreshing, contest. 

Le Victoria Hall a été l’écrin du violoncelle d’Andreas Brantelid, qui a éclairé d’un romantisme lumineux le concerto d’Elgar, sous la direction inspirante de Marko Letonja. On regrette que le reste de la soirée n’ait pas fait preuve du même équilibre.

It’s curious to program an opening night with second-fiddle work; at least I thought so until this Strauss.

A journey of emotions with the Munich Philharmonic under Gergiev resplendent in Ravel and Richard Strauss, thought-provoking in Ustvolskaya, and Behzod Abduraimov electrifying in Rachmaninov.

I’d been assured from friends who knew I was attending this concert that the Brandon Hill Chamber Orchestra is the finest amateur orchestra in Bristol and I was in for a treat.
