Von der Barockmusik zu Schubert-Liedern war es in Baden-Baden für Philippe Jaroussky kein unbedingt gradliniger Weg.

Christoph Spering und sein Neues Orchester präsentieren ein wackeliges „historisches“ Festkonzert bei Simmern5.

Russian-Ukrainian conductor Anna Rakitina doesn't quite land on her debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, while Lise de la Salle uncovers the lighter side of Rachmaninov.
