Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Serenade e-Moll für Streichorchester, Op. 20

La recién incorporada concertino de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, Olatz Ruiz, dirigió un concierto programado para conjunto de cuerda con un sorprendente y luminoso resultado.

Sous la direction de Christian Zacharias, la formation auvergnate est à son aise dans un programme éclectique, notamment dans Les Illuminations de Britten où s'illustre la voix de Ruby Hugues.

With his wonderful instinct for finding just the right tempo, Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducted the scaled down but high spirited Philadelphia Orchestra in Elgar’s Serenade.

Elgar, Strauss y el Sibelius más épico son el repertorio elegido por Ibermúsica para cerrar su Serie Barbieri de la mano de Thierry Fischer.

Missy Mazzoli's double bass concerto receives its UK premiere as part of Kings Place's Venus Unwrapped season. 

The former principal guest conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra made his first appearance in seven years to lead graceful performances of Elgar and Beethoven. 

Despite some briliant orchestral playing and orchestral warhorses, Pinchas Zukerman's wooden conducting style made for an unmemorable evening at Cadogan Hall. 

NSO's debuts for Maestro Donald Runnicles and soprano, Olga Peretyatko. 

David Curtis displayed his usual deceptively effortless ease on the podium. Perhaps this felt like a handy warm-up for the marathon that he would run, hard on the heels of this concert, in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Orchestra of the Swan’s home territory.

Muffled up in a heavy coat, scarf and gloves, your intrepid reviewer travelled through the wild heart of the East End of London, from Whitechapel on the Overground, under the Thames to the equally rough and grubby realms of south-east London, to Brockley, making his way up the hill in the wintry darkness to St Peter’s Church.

Saturday evening’s concert saw the coming together of two world-class ensembles from opposite ends of the world: Australia’s national orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and the world-renowned British vocal group the Hilliard Ensemble.
