Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Johan Dalene

A fitting farewell for Leif Ove Andsnes' Rosendal Chamber Music Festival: imaginative programming and excellent performances in an inspiring setting. 

Andrew Manze crowns an excellent concert in Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall with Borodin's colourful Second Symphony. 

Sakari Oramo and the BBCSO were at the top of their game, bringing a bracing breath of Scandi fresh air and clear light, on a dark December eveneing. 

Not much of a flicker in the needle of the barometer for orchestra and conductor in Brahms, but Johan Dalene charms the ear in a serene outing of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto.

Sakari Oramo presents a pair of Polish symphonies by Bacewicz and Szymanowski, interrupted by Mozart's Sinfonia concertante, but the evening struggles to take off.

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

Jordan de Souza conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra fails to set our reviewer's heart racing, but the young Swedish violinist John Dalene most certainly does.

The inexhaustible maestro shared the stage with Johan Dalene, an exciting violinist seven decades his junior.
