Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Sinfonie Nr. 2

Joined by pianist Yunchan Lim, the opening concert of Gustavo Dudamel’s season as the orchestra's Music and Artistic Director Designate features exhilarating performances from the American repertoire.

After going viral with Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto at the Cliburn two years ago, soloist and conductor tackle his Second with a balance of lyricism, wit and fire.

At Berlin's Philharmonie, Gustavo Dudamel takes the audience on an adventurous journey around the Americas with works by Ortiz, Ginastera and Ives.

Plenty of mustard with Ives' beguiling Americana and intelligent Beethoven from Kirill Gerstein.

The Minnesota Orchestra’s visit offered a chance to hear Gershwin’s Piano Concerto and Ives’ Symphony no. 2, though the former suffered somewhat from an absence of spark.

Dudamel led the Vienna Philharmonic in an impassioned Ives Second but lacked the precision and control to achieve the full dramatic effects of Tchaikovsky's Fourth.

More than today’s expert on Brahms, Ax promotes a revolutionary approach to the soloist persona: the soloist who is a chamber musician first and a diva second.
