A stunning Mozart piano concerto with Angela Hewitt and a dazzling recent piece are framed by serious but uplifting orchestral works by Britten and Strauss.

A bold programme from an orchestra with a bold sound as the ISO trails in the wake of Storm Ciara on its debut UK tour. 

In its opening concert of the season, the Philharmonia gave two of Sibelius' symphonies with two modern pieces by a pair of Iceland's finest young composers, which made for rewarding listening.

The origins of chamber music lie in a wish for music that could fit within a small room. On display at the New York Philharmonic last Friday were recent contributions that wished for the opposite.

The Iceland Symphony Orchestra's tour to the acoustically excellent Göteborgs konserthus in Sweden for a concert of Sibelius, Strauss and Thorvaldsdóttir was an obvious success, demonstrating an orchestral sound that deserves to be heard abroad more often. 

Mit der Uraufführung von Haukur Tómassons Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 sowie Werken von Charles Ives, Anna Thorvaldsdottir und Igor Strawinsky zeigt das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester sein Können in der Musik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts

Es begeisterte, wie konzentriert, engagiert und gekonnt das Orchester agierte - da war während des ganzen Abends nicht eine Unsicherheit zu hören, es „stimmte“ einfach alles.
