Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh: suite

Mit Werken von Rimsky-Korsakow, Prokofjew und Schostakowitsch läutet das Riga Jūrmala Festival das letzte Wochenende seiner ersten Saison ein.

Gianandrea Noseda proves his Russian credentials with a nerve-shredding, volatile account of Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony. 

In Gergiev's late, late show, Mao Fujita impresses in Tchaikovsky, but episodes from Berlioz' Roméo et Juliette are given a Shakespearean speed read. 

La Filarmónica de San Petersburgo se presentó de la mano de Ibermúsica, ambos mantienen una relación de ya 46 años que únicamente se explica al socaire de la preocupación por ofrecer música (especialmente la que comparte denominación de origen) con el mayor cuidado y al más alto nivel.

Elgar shines after a fresh performance of Tchaikovsky with Julia Fischer and the St Petersburg Philharmonic. 

There are some concerts where you are confronted with the same emotions from start to finish, concerts with pieces that have a similar feel and similar impact throughout. Tonight’s concert was not one of those: it varied from funny (Jeux), to serene (Prélude), to confusing (Concerto for piano and winds).
