Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Adagio and Allegro in A flat major, Op.70

The Davos Festival's programme, underscoring the extraordinary talents of some dozen young musicians, is a polished and highly inviting offer. 

The intimate setting and acoustics of Weill Recital Hall proved ideal for a chamber music program, transporting the listener back in time to a 19th-century salon. 

Narek Hakhnazaryan presented a colorful slice of the cello repertoire in a recital comprised of works by Schumann, Mozart, Franck and a pair of composers from his native Armenia.

The Amatis Trio deliver insightful performances of Clara Schumann's Piano Trio and Three Romances, alongside Robert Schumann's Adagio and Allegro, in their lunchtime Prom at Cadogan Hall.

A rare opportunity to hear Carl Reinecke's Trio for oboe, horn and piano presents itself in Sheffield. 

Hakhnazaryan’s programme was rich with meaty music.

On his current Australian tour, the indefatigable Pinchas Zukerman seems to cherish playing a different programme in every venue. He appeared with his own chamber ensemble, the Zukerman Trio in Sydney, partnered with two Canadian musicians, Amanda Forsyth (cello), and Angela Cheng (piano).

One of the more attractive features of the Sommets Musicaux festival is the series of concerts in Gstaad chapel, each given by a young musician who has been spending the week attending classes, with a mentor – in this case, Mario Brunello – and each including a world première written by the festival’s composer in residence – this year, it’s the turn of Nicolas Bacri.
