Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Préludes, Bk 2 no. 4: Les fées sont d'exquises danseuses

Waltzing on a Monday evening? Wigmore Hall is not exactly the Tower Ballroom, but last night it did a fair impression as a temple of dance when Philippe Cassard played the third of his Debussy Perspectives series.

As one of the featured artists of the ‘Am Piano’ festival in Lucerne, Lise de la Salle brought a poetic weave to the fabric of complex and highly demanding scores. 

Alexei Lubimov’s recent late-night recital at the Mostly Mozart Festival alternated rippling, dappled notes of Debussy with the playful simplicity of Satie’s music, contrasting vivid Debussyste images with the static yet aimless wandering of Satie’s rarely-performed piano works.

A monumental recital of passionate classics from some members of classical music's royalty, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

To say that the diminutive Mr Kadouch is a very gifted young pianist with a brilliant technique and a bright future is an understatement. The program overall was very well-played.
