Schubert's Third Symphony is treated like a masterpiece by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under director Isabelle van Keulen. 

Not all expectations were fulfilled in this concert by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Isabelle Faust made a strong case for Schumann's Violin Concerto, whereas Antonello Manacorda adopted a paint-stripping approach to both overture and symphony.

The Roussel Bacchus et Ariane was the standout performance in a trio of French orchestral works presented by Alan Gilbert and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. 

Daniel Harding and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in love with Pettersson and Berlioz, whereas Alina Ibragimova disappoints in Schumann.

The replication of the weekend’s triumph was cut short by a somewhat dimly executed Fourth Symphony, as violinist Faust stole the show. 

A questionable performance of Schumann's Violin Concerto was redeemed by lively interpretations of Beethoven's Third Symphony and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture.

Music by Mendelssohn framed Schumann’s misunderstood Violin Concerto in this sensitive concert led by Ludovic Morlot and featuring guest violinist Gidon Kremer.

Violinist Veronika Eberle has a successful San Francisco debut with the tricky Schumann concerto while the SF Symphony sounds somewhat limp under Robert Abbado with Busoni's Turandot and Mendelssohn's Scottish. 

Joshua Bell brings star quality to the visit of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, with a stunning performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto the stand-out item on their first Sydney programme.

Highly effectively performances from Pablo Heras-Casado and LSO in Ravel, Schumann and Dvořák. 

The beginning of Prom 23 was utterly surreal. I found myself confronted by sounds I had never heard before in a concert hall.

Schumann's Violin Concerto is a relative rarity in the concert hall, but Patricia Kopatchinskaja's performance did little to suggest a neglected masterpiece.

As long as the beginning and the end of a performance come together, will anyone remember the grievances in between? 

Following their hugely successful Beethoven and Brahms cycles, Bernard Haitink and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe returned with Schumann’s symphonies and concertos.

Renaud Capuçon and the LPO fail to make the most of Schumann's Violin Concerto, but Saraste's fast, rhapsodic Bruckner made up in beauty of orchestral sound for an unconvincing overall interpretation.
