“L’orchestre sait forcer le trait, amener les fins d’arpèges avec humour. La musique s’y prête.”

Crítica hecha desde Barbican Hall, Londres el 21 octubre 2015

Mozart, Serenata núm. 10 en si bemol mayor para instrumentos de viento, "Gran partita", K361 (K370a)

Schönberg, Verklärte Nacht (Noche transfigurada), Op.4

Strauss R., El caballero de la rosa, Op.59: suite

BBC Symphony Orchestra

Sakari Oramo, Dirección

Sakari Oramo, Yeol Eum Son and the BBC Symphony in Seoul

SangKwon Lee, 26th March

Yeol Eum Son’s Britten Piano Concerto formed the evening’s centre of gravity, played with lucid line, structural command and sudden fire. In Brahms’ Second Symphony, Sakari Oramo found conviction, proportion and a warmth that felt earned rather than applied.

Christopher Woodley, 13th March

Yeol Eum Son's superb performances of Bartók and Finzi are matched by intense and heady readings of Stravinsky and Weir by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sakari Oramo.

Roy Westbrook, 6th February

After a performance of Magnus Lindberg’s First Violin Concerto by Lisa Batiashvili at the Barbican, Stravinsky’s Perséphone stands the test of time.

UK premiere of Julia Wolfe’s unEarth impresses on scale, not substance

Susannah Moody, 23rd January

Wolfe's climate-change oratorio, performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, already feels out of date.

Sir James MacMillan delights with his Christmas Oratorio

David Karlin, 19th December

MacMillan's large scale choral work offers a rich variety of texts and musical ideas, the composer conducts the BBC Symphony with unerring precision.
