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

Sir Stephen Hough produces a memorable piece of pianism in Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto and Anna Thorvaldsdottir's Metacosmos will have converted some contemporary music sceptics.

Pianist Sunwook Kim returns to the RSNO, while conductor Jonathan Stockhammer builds a coherent triptych out of three highly contrasting pieces.

Pastoral repose and granitic grandeur in an awe-inspiring performance of Sibelius' Second Symphony. 

The Orchestra of the Royal Academy of Music and The Julliard School, with Edward Gardner in an impressively ambitious programme, with tragic Britten from James Ehnes, and a remarkable UK premiere from Anna Thorvaldsdottir.

Orchestra and conductor seem equally at home in Anna Thorvaldsdottir's galactic soundscapes and Richard Strauss' Symphonia Domestica. 

In her newest work, Metacosmos, Anna Thorvaldsdóttir proves again to be an artist of deep originality.
