Youthful vigour and eclectic treats from La Verdi
James Imam, 25th September
If the orchestra's playing was marked by poise and balance, so was the programme taken in its entirety. The buoyancy that had prevailed to now brought out the darker hues of Schubert's “Unfinished” Symphony deliciously.

“Vive la France!”: Gallic pride from La Verdi, Milan
James Imam, 9th July
La Verdi dispatched each of the works with panaché under audience favourite Oleg Caetani. There is plenty of swagger to their playing at present – a Gallic cock with plenty of feathers in its tail.

A Russian portrait: Scriabin and Campogrande from La Verdi
James Imam, 5th June
La Verdi possessed the necessary bloom to portray Scriabin's rich colour scheme under former LSO Assistant Marius Stravinsky. At times, they were irresistible.

All-embracing Weill and Mahler from Axelrod and La Verdi
James Imam, 24th April
This was raw Mahler at its most all-embracing. The musicians seemed to embrace the entire world. As an audience member made to leave the hall, Axelrod leant over the balustrade to shake his hand.
