En vivo, Video: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Fennessy

At Kings Place Aurora Orchestra and Donald Grant fail to impress with a straggling programme of traditional arrangements, composed pieces and a world premiere. 

Stefan Jackiw makes Britten's Violin Concerto sing, but Thomas Søndergård's RSNO Rite of Spring is too well-behaved and David Fennessy's Riot Act is dull.

The RSNO and Steven Osborne listen to one another wonderfully and play beautifully, but perhaps the loveliest thing is the sound of an undistanced audience for the first time in two years.

Psappha and The Hebrides Ensembles celebrate 25 years of music-making with a new commission, a tribute to Maxwell Davies and Schoenberg’s soulful  Verklärte Nacht.

Benedikt Zacher berichtet vom Konzert des Münchener Kammerorchesters, das zusammen mit Isabelle Faust mit gewohnt abwechslungsreichen Programm und einer pulsierenden Uraufführung von Fennessys Hirta Rounds aufwartete.

Anyone who worries for the health of contemporary composition obviously wasn’t at the Southbank Centre this Sunday, where the London Sinfonietta presented a whole afternoon and evening’s worth of new music in and around the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
