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

Stretching minds and musicians in Manchester Collective’s night of strings and electronics.

On Thursday night, I reviewed the vast forces of National Youth Orchestra, playing big colourful works by European exiles in 1930s America.

The UBS Soundscapes: Eclectica concert at LSO St. Luke's on the 12th October, billed as a celebration of Steve Reich's 75th birthday, was indeed a celebration, and also a tribute. The performance, by a chamber group of string, percussion and keyboard players from the London Symphony Orchestra, was infused with warm affection for the music.
