Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Libertango

Karneval und Klassik, Klassik und Unterhaltungsmusik – dass diese Elemente nicht in Widerspruch stehen, sondern eine so unterhaltsame wie musikalisch hochkarätige Einheit eingehen können, zeigte Blechschaden, das Blechbläserensemble der Münchner Philharmoniker, anlässlich des Faschingskonzerts im Mozartsaal des Mannheimer Rosengartens.

Ibermúsica inicia la temporada con una leyenda viva de la interpretación, Yo-Yo Ma, quien, acompañado por Kathryn Stott, ofreció un curioso e infrecuente programa.

A major work going well beyond tango by Astor Piazzolla and a fresh introduction to African-American composer Florence Price highlight a concert that tries a bit too hard to please

Une expérience aussi singulière que revigorante à Gaveau : 4 pianistes sur 4 pianos. Hélène Mercier, Ferhan Önder, Cyprien Katsaris et Janis Vakarelis nous font réentendre des tubes de la musique classique dans une complicité partagée.  

Les Musicales de Croissy invitent le harpiste russe Sacha Boldachev. Un récital saisissant qui nous transporte dans des contrées vertigineuses et parfois encore inexplorées de ce bel instrument.

A fine Planets from Eiji Oue and the Belgrade Philharmonic crowned a splendid concert despite a flawed “Neptune” after Simone Rubino had explored the music of the Earth.

Milhaud reported “a spirit of carefree gaiety reigned” in 1920s Paris, a spirit Marcela Roggeri and François Chaplin's varied programme aimed to evoke.

Guy Johnston and friends in a varied programme of works and arrangements for 12 cellos, joined by soprano Golda Schultz in tender and spirited Villa-Lobos.

The Royal Northern Sinfonia directed by Bradley Creswick and featuring the guitar soloist Craig Ogden offer an enterprising mixture of works and styles.

A velvet-smooth bass-baritone voice, matinee idol looks and magnetic stage presence have made Erwin Schrott into one of opera’s big international stars. Last night, however, festivalgoers at Budapest’s Comedy Theatre saw him excel in a very different musical form: the Argentinian tango music whose leading composer was Astor Piazzolla.

Believe all the hype: Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe—more famously called Anderson and Roe—are electric. At Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn, this piano duo did more than celebrate the launch of their new album; they fashioned an entirely new concert experience.

Martin Grubinger may be regarded as one of the world’s most exciting percussion virtuosi, but for my money his greatest strengths are pianistic: the rich density of timbre he gets from his instruments (which are mainly the marimba and xylophone), the gift for turning an eloquent phrase, and the seamless legato that comes from sensitive touch and a finely-tuned ear for decay.

Love may be a familiar feeling, but the passion Aurora Orchestra unleashed at LSO St Luke’s was enough to leave audiences wild with desire. Exploring the darkest undertones of love—anguish, jealousy, remorse and regret—Friday night’s programme, Jealous Guy, was woven together by tango music interspersed with tragic love stories from across musical history.
