Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Hamlet, Phantasie-Ouvertüre in f-Moll, Op.67

Im Wiener Musikverein stand nicht nur Unbekanntes auf dem Programm, sondern auch die allseits bekannte Pathetique in einer fesselnden Darbietung.

Ils sont de retour ! Après la saisissante impression laissée il y a deux ans, le mythique orchestre de Leipzig revient dans un double programme Tchaïkovski le temps d'un week-end.

Andrea Battistoni conducts the Tokyo Philharmonic in Tchaikovsky's three Shakespeare-inspired works in a single programme. In between, cellist Haruma Sato excels in the original version of the Rococo Variations.

The Hallé and Sir Mark Elder gave superb performances of Tchaikovsky's Hamlet and, with Benjamin Grosvenor, Liszt's Piano Concerto no 1. Their Beethoven Pastoral Symphony was disappointing in contrast.

A belated touch of demonic fire was a welcome ingredient to last night's Prom with a compelling interpretation of Prokofiev's Third Symphony, based on material from his opera The Fiery Angel.

“If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it.” There was certainly plenty of Shakespeare-inspired music on the bill for the London Philharmonic Orchestra's celebration of The Bard.
