Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Tasmin Little

Little had planned to quit in August, but Covid-19 threw all her concert plans into disarray, but last night took a significant step towards the exit, bidding farewell to London’s Southbank Centre.

Tasmin Little's farewell tour yields memorable Bruch in Singapore, with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra led by Gerard Schwarz.

Big sounds were on display as Christoph König and the RPO powered through Rachmaninov and Wagner, with a measured and flowing Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto from Tasmin Little.

Despite the burbling streams with which Smetana's Vltava trickles into life, this was no pastoral stroll on the gentle slopes of Bohemia, Hungary and Poland.

Three English composers receive fine performances from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

The final pair of Sibelius symphonies is memorably performed by the LPO under Osmo Vänskä, with Tasmin Little as the authoritative soloist in Walton's violin concerto.

CBSO sparkled in the all Russian programme;  Tchaikovsky' Fifth and the Glazunov Violin Concerto brilliantly delivered, full of oustanding individual performances.

Tasmin Little, the BBC Philharmonic and Juanjo Mena gave a fine performance of Leonard Bernstein's Serenade with works by Britten and Beethoven, commemorating the 25th anniversary of Bernstein's death.

An action-packed, generous concert by the Orquesta Filarmónica de Mexico UNAM conducted by Jan Latham-Koenig at the Cadogan Hall.

A fantastic concert with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the charismatic Daniele Rustioni, with violinist Tasmin Little in Mendelssohn. 

Judith Weir's music didn't have the pride of place it deserved at this miscellaneous collection of music from past and present Masters of the Queen's Music, presented by the Park Lane Group at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. 

The BBC Philharmonic's chief conductor Juanjo Mena and violinst Tamsin in an astonishing performance of Moeran's Violin Concerto. Mena also brings his own interpretation of Elgar's Enigma Variations.

Rossen Gergov conducts a Slavonic Dance sandwich with Haydn and Ligeti filling, Tasmin Little starring in the latter's Violin Concerto.

Delius is a composer who is often misunderstood, the English pastoralism of works like On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring hardly representative of either his cosmopolitan life or the breadth of his output.

I can’t work out if it was surprising or to be expected that Maxwell Davies, part of the New Music Manchester group that included Birtwistle and Goehr, should have become Master of the Queen’s Music.

It all started some time last year with a letter of invitation from a "Sir Albert Hall", inviting Wallace to display his often overlooked musical talents in a Prom. Naturally, he was honoured to accept the invitation, but rather than stepping out on stage, he set to work writing what was to be the highlight of the concert – My Concerto in Ee, Lad, written for piano.

On paper, Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche seems a non sequitur to choral and orchestral works by Elgar and Grainger. In Proms 24, Elgar’s part-song There is sweet music and Violin Concerto in B minor were at home next to Grainger’s setting of Londonderry Air and likeable In a Nutshell suite.
