Osmo Vänskä’s visit to the Toronto Symphony brings an outstanding, dramatic new concerto from Detlev Glanert, while familiar masterpieces by Grieg and Sibelius spring to life with vivid freshness. 

Donald Runnicles demonstrates his superior musicianship in a warm, intelligently crafted reading of Brahms' Symphony no. 2 in D major, with Andrea Lam as a sensitive and reserved soloist in Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto.

Detlev Glanert's homage to Kafka highlights an evening of stellar sounds and talent, including Johan Dalene playing Sibelius. 

The BBC Symphony Orchestra in exceptionally fine form under Semyon Bychkov explore the links from Schubert to Mahler and the present-day Glanert.

Based on Theodor Fontane's novel Oceane von Parceval, Detlev Glanert's eleventh opera is given its world premiere at Deutsche Oper.

Put Sakari Oramo in front of the BBCSO and invariably something magical happens. This concert included rare repertoire from two of Oramo's favourite Scandinavian composers. 

The Washington Performing Arts celebrates its 50th anniversary this year – cause for celebration indeed – and its opening concert showcased one of the world’s finest orchestras, the Royal Concertgebouw, under the baton of Semyon Bychkov.

Detlev Glanert's first religious composition, a staggering Requiem for solo voices, two choirs and orchestra, pits the demonic against the angelic, and is worthy of the genius it celebrates.

Detlev Glanert's homage to Johannes Brahms as a curtain-raiser to Paul Watkins' performance of Haydn's C major cello concerto and a welcome anticipation of Brahms' first symphony conducted by Semyon Bychkov.

A modern piece inspired by Brahms, and two of the composer's masterworks are rendered in fine fashion by Semyon Bychkov and the CSO.

John Woolrich's Songbook project provided the vocal material on show at the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group recital at Wigmore Hall, featuring sopranos Gillian Keith and Rebecca von Lipinski.

Where could be more appropriate to see the story of Caligula, Rome’s most notorious emperor/self-proclaimed God, than in the Coliseum! Its purple SPQR livery made the opening to this performance all the more striking as Caligula, dishevelled, unhinged and not a little scary, crept on stage through the curtain in dead silence.

The program opened with Tapiola, Sibelius' symphonic poem and his last major work. Tapio is the Finnish god of the forests and Sibelius' score is prefaced with these lines:Wide-spread they stand, the Northland's dusky forests,Ancient, mysterious, brooding savage dreams,Within them dwells the Forest's mighty God,And wood-sprites in the gloom weave magic secrets.

El estreno en España del concierto para chelo Detlev Glanert a cargo del propio paladín de la obra, Johannes Moser, y una rigurosa Quinta sinfonía de Chaikovski bajo la batuta de Anna Rakitina resultó en una intensa velada musical.

Die Hamburger Symphoniker brachten unter Markus Stenz Detlev Glanerts Requiem für Hieronymus Bosch zusammen mit der Europa Chor Akademie auf die Bühne der Elbphilharmonie.

Concert de l’ONF en faveur du Sidaction sous la baguette de Kirill Karabits, remplaçant Semyon Bychkov. Un résultat à l’expressivité rare, aussi animé que savamment nuancé.
