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

Un atractivo programa fundado en los contrastes, con un discurso heterogéneo que entrecruza lenguajes folclóricos, electroacústicos y clásicos, donde la emotividad se reinventa en las melodías de Kaija Saariaho. 

Andris Nelsons makes no apologies for Shostakovich's Third Symphony, allowing it to blare, blaze, and bloviate as written.

DSO plays Florence Price's Five Folksongs in Counterpoint and performs the world premiere of Tyshawn Sorey's For Marcos Balter for violin and orchestra with Jennifer Koh. 

Edo de Waart and the NZSO thrill with the old warhorse that is Schubert's ninth as much as in an insightful and exciting rendition of Salonen's Violin Concerto.

This all-English programme artfully combined Butterworth, Elgar and Anna Clyne – three composers a century apart yet tied together by poetic association.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra programmed something for everybody with a line-up of Berlioz, Beethoven, and a newly commisioned violin concerto from Anna Clyne.

The fascination of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Violin Concerto, featuring soloist Jennifer Koh, dominates this week's widely mixed programme led by Ludovic Morlot.

Jennifer Koh and Ensemble LPR helped celebrate the five-year anniversary of (Le) Poisson Rouge Friday night, with a lively program of works by John Zorn, Charles Wuorinen and Ludwig van Beethoven. The club-like atmosphere of LPR was in full swing before the show began, waiters ferrying salads and glasses of wine as percussionists adjusted their instruments on stage under colored blooms of light.

In An Attitude to French Culture the Polish composer Witold Lutosławski remarked “I am aware that of the two traditions that initiated 20th-century music, that is, Schoenberg and Debussy, it is the latter that I feel prevails in my own compositional work”.

I often think of Lorin Maazel as the American equivalent of Sir Colin Davis – they are both in their eighties and they both deliver steady, reliable interpretations that let the music speak for itself. Maazel’s return performance with the New York Philharmonic on Saturday re-affirmed my view.

You might think that a programme containing Bach and 20th/21st century composers would suggest an evening of unconnected extremes. Nothing could be further from the truth in the case of Jennifer Koh's Bach and Beyond recital, given in Lennoxlove House, Haddington as part of the Lammermuir Festival.

Unsuk Chin's music is extravagant. This must have been a shockingly expensive concert to produce. The stage at the Barbican had to be extended to fit the massive orchestra, and the whole middle section of the stalls was closed off for safety reasons. The two intervals lasted longer than usual because there was so much equipment to move.
