Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Nänie for Chorus and Orchestra (Harp ad libitum), Op.82

Herbert Blomstedt demonstrates the “singability” of Brahms in his latest appearance with the Boston Symphony, concluding with the autumnal glow of the Fourth Symphony.

In his first appearance with the Czech Philharmonic, the conductor showed a deep respect for tradition and an innate feel for Czech music.

It is unlikely that anyone went home from this soul-inspiring performance without that famous "Ode" ringing in his or her head.

The Hallé ended its season on a high with a magnificent performance of Mahler's Ninth Symphony finding the horn section, in particular, on glorious form.

The German Requiem is an unbudgeable fixture on the Viennese musical calendar, and yet selections from Brahms’ more obscure choral output are seldom programmed, with chorus directors typically citing the unfeasible ratio of rehearsal to running time for complicated works like Nänie (which is less than 15 minutes long).

Obras corales de Brahms y el primer concierto de piano de Beethoven con Daniil Trifonov como protagonista, fue el programa que la Orquesta y Coro Nacionales ofrecieron bajo la dirección de David Afkham. 

Si algo caracteriza la dirección de Antoni Wit es el brillo que es capaz de conferir a las partituras que interpreta. Y este brillo ha estado presente también en su concierto con la Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra ofrecido el pasado viernes en el Baluarte, conjuntamente con el Orfeón Pamplonés.

In seinem Benefizkonzert am Totensonntag verband der Münchner Konzertchor Brahms' berühmtes Deutsches Requiem mit der weniger bekannten Nänie.
