An outstanding choral performance by nearly 300 singers of the BBC National Chorus of Wales and the Crouch End Festival Chorus lights up Verdi’s hybrid of opera and devotional music.

Ryan Bancroft and the BBC NOW offer scintillating playing in John Adams’ Harmonium, plus an exciting world premiere from Derrick Skye and a stunning Copland concerto with clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe.

A huge hall, a huge orchestra and a huge chorus letting rip with a monster of the choral repertoire… We've missed this. 

John Luther Adams piece unfolds with the patience and weight of the geological time, leaving a powerful mark.

The 20th century completely passed Parry's Judith by completely... and it isn't difficult to see why.

Juanjo Mena and the BBC Philharmonic juxtaposed Simpson's oratorio, The Immortal, inspired by mediums and seances, with Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony where life slips away into the void.

The silence of the Cenotaph was swept away by the greatest howl of anguish in music.

Prom 22 was a surreal evening of music, centered around the UK première of Auerbach’s The Infant Minstrel and His Peculiar Menagerie.

How to compare Nielsen and Ives? Possible similarities aside, however, the impact of their work is, on the whole, wildly contrasting.

This was the first time I've been to a concert with a 10:30 kick-off, but then this was the first of its kind. Nor did the inaugural Sport Prom turn out to be merely a game of two halves...

Saturday night at the Barbican Centre was anything but ordinary. Performing two works by composers John Adams and Roberto Gerhard, the Crouch End Festival Chorus (CEFC) and London Orchestra da Camera, conducted by David Temple, achieved harmonic brilliance and chilling dissonance in a single evening. The first half of the night was devoted to John Adams’ Harmonium.

In spite of Mahler's disapproval, his eighth symphony is forever tagged as the "Symphony of a Thousand" because of the immense choirs which perform it.
