Beautiful poise: Capuçon, Moreau and Angelich alight in Tsinandali

James Imam, 10th September

Festivals and academies breed familiarity and mutual compassion between audiences and returning artists. Yet the warmly informal feel of this concert owed mostly to the close relationships between the musicians themselves.

Argerich, Dutoit and Russian revelry in Hamburg

Argerich is predictably a force of nature in Tchaikovsky and Dutoit shows his mettle in Ravel and Stravinsky.

Edward Sava-Segal

Edward has been living in New York for the last 25 years, one of the reasons being the extraordinarily rich cultural life in this city. He has studied piano and classical music in his early years. He switched later on to computer science and data architecture but he kept an unwavering interest in following the classical music phenomenon here in New York and in his travels. Edward occasionally reviews fine arts events for the most prestigious literary magazine in Romania, his home country.
