Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Scherzo fantastique, Op.25

 After a delightful opener by Suk, Simone Lamsma wows in stunning Sibelius with the RLPO before Rachmaninov's ill-fated, dramatic First Symphony completes the programme.

Boris Giltburg joins The Hallé for Rachmaninov's Fourth Piano Concerto, the emotional heart of the evening.

The Czech Philharmonic, in tremendous form, still play their core repertoire with unaffected naturalness.

In a concert of two halves, the Philharmonia fail to convince with Suk and Dvořák but provide a thrilling rendition of Janáček's Glagolitic Mass, a choral work that is dramatic, operatic, giant in scale and unique in style.
