Zweimal Russisches hatten die Münchner Philharmoniker auf dem Programm und konnten vor allem mit Schostakowitschs Fünfter Symphonie überzeugen.

Xian Zhang brought out the beauty of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s engaging sound and soprano Fatma Said gracefully beguiled us with Strauss.

Bernstein's Slava! and Age of Anxiety aren't the best examples of his concert music, but Marin Alsop and the BSO made the best possible case for them.

Semyon Bychkov dirige le Concertgebouw d'Amsterdam : avec un Concerto pour deux pianos de Bruch en première partie avec Katia et Marielle Labèque, c'est surtout la Symphonie n°5 de Chostakovich que l'on retiendra de ce concert.

Une figure montante de la direction d’orchestre, Krzysztof Urbański, et un très jeune violoniste de seize ans à peine, Daniel Lozakovitch. Une affiche alléchante qui a tenu en grande partie ses promesses.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja and the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich under conductor Teodor Currentzis brought the audience to its feet with works by Alban Berg and Dmitri Shostakovitch.

Chinese-American pianist George Li is now all of 22 years old, and continues to accumulate awards for his remarkable playing, but could he find anything interesting to say about this particular warhorse?

A programme steeped in the cultural experience of 20th-century Russia offered intrigue, thrills and a surprising dash of humour.

An engrossing performance of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony follows a slightly haywire interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in an evening of excitement and a few too many wrong notes.
