Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Miguel Harth-Bedoya

Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing unearths the subtleties and plaintive lyricism of Dvorak's violin concerto while Miguel Harth-Bedoya and the NSO deliver an exhilarating Eroica.

Alan Holley's Oboe Concerto formed the centrepiece of Miguel Harth-Bedoya's Sydney Symphony programme. 

There was a nod to John Adams in the score, but also a kind of edgy Americana, complete with powerful writing for male chorus, and an attempt to communicate the flavor of rural North Carolina, not far from where Higdon grew up.

Pianist Vadym Kholodenko gives a thrilling performance of Beethoven's Fourth, and the RTVE orchestra and chorus impress in the Ninth Symphony.
