Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Da pacem Domine

Harry Christophers and The Sixteen refresh their choral pilgrimage with works old and new, that show innovative programming at its imaginative best. 

Sometimes artists surprise, but in a wholly positive way: nothing remotely bland about Buchbinder's approach to Beethoven's C minor concerto and a Tchaikovsky 1 streets ahead of Järvi's recent recording.

Kristjan Järvi conducts the Brussels Philharmonic and the Vlaams Radiokoor in a programme of Arvo Pärt's music. 

The Sixteen contribute intimate Music for Reflection to Voces8's Live from London series.

For their 2019 season-opener, Tognetti and the ACO collaborate with the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir to give a meditative, quasi-religious program centred on Bach and Pärt.

Bringing her programme of Baroque arias to London, Joyce DiDonato was on a mission to discover how we find peace.

Pairing music from the 18th and 20th centuries is a common programming strategy, one which can bring out interesting parallels between the musical preoccupations of two very different eras. Some 20th-century composers looked to the more distant past as a way of engaging with traditions before the emotionally coercive 19th century.

“Please silence all electronic devices and refrain from talking. This evening’s program will be presented without intermission or breaks for applause. It is our hope that this structure will assist in providing a meaningful experience...

If only Mozart could’ve been there! Had he only one concert to attend from beyond the grave, Wolfgang could have done worse than head to Coventry Cathedral and its sumptuous acoustic on Saturday night. Here he would have been treated to a performance of his final symphony, no.41 ‘Jupiter’ – never heard in his lifetime – alongside his 'Great' Mass in C minor – which he never completed.

Dans une version arrangée par Félix Roth pour onze instruments à vent et une contrebasse, le chef-d'œuvre de Mozart bénéficie d'une belle mise en place... mais guère plus.

Si le jeune violoniste suédois fait fort belle impression dans le Concerto de Tchaïkovski, Olari Elts déçoit à la tête de la phalange estonienne dans un programme étrangement pensé.

Die Sinfonietta Rīga unter Sigvards Kļava überzeugte im Kissinger Max-Littmann-Saal mit einer sehr verinnerlichten Aufführung von Schlüsselwerken Arvo Pärts

Programme puis projet de plus grande envergure conçu par Joyce DiDonato après les attentats de novembre 2015 à Paris, ce récital repris cette saison dans "Les Grandes Voix" aux côtés de l'orchestre Il Pomo d'Oro dirigé par Maxim Emelyanychev résonne de façon significative avec l'actualité et propose de repenser la question de la paix autant que celle de l'expérience du concert.

Le chœur de chambre Collegium Musicale nous offre une soirée entièrement dédiée à son compatriote Arvo Pärt, qui fait hommage au chant choral.
