En vivo, A la carta, Evento en directo: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Rapsodia sobre un tema de Paganini para piano y orquesta, Op.43

Tras su reciente debut en la temporada de la Filarmónica de Berlín, Dima Slobodeniouk, se reencontraba con los aplausos de su público coruñés para ofrecer un programa compuesto por música de la primera mitad del siglo XX: dos notables ejemplos del Ravel más sensual y la obra más edulcorada y popular del Rachmaninov concertista con Alexei Volodin como solista.

Con el empaste orgánico y la complicidad construida concierto a concierto desde 2011, el tándem BBC-Mena vibró, bailó y estremeció. El torrente sonoro cuidó hasta el menor recoveco de pentagrama, cuajando el mejor de los augurios para lo que resta de festival.

Lisitsa es un fenómeno de masas que debe gran parte de su éxito no sólo a su talento y a su laboriosidad, sino a su proyección en diversas redes.

Last night’s concert by the Hallé, this season’s first guest orchestra to visit Sage Gateshead, was all about youth: a young conductor, a young soloist, a young composer, and music written for a young audience. There were even a few young faces in the large audience.

On a hot, humid summer’s evening, Sakari Oramo made his debut as Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. That the occasion was the first night of the BBC Proms 2013 didn’t seem to bother him. The Finn’s combination of serenity and confidence – and just enough passion to assure us that he was enjoying it – set the tone for an intriguing, if oddly assembled programme.

You might not think that a conductor nearing his 80th birthday and leading an orchestra from a swivel chair would be as effective as a conductor in full health, but you would be wrong.

Although the Usher Hall was slightly less packed than for the inaugural concert of the season, there was a healthy crowd. If two concerts is sufficient to gauge an emerging format then Music Director Peter Oundjian’s preferred style seems to be to save welcoming remarks until after the opening piece, at which point he talks us through the evening as a whole.

A "riot of orchestral colour" was promised, but little of it was allowed to flourish.Elgar's Cockaigne Overture, written during the winter of 1900-01, is a portrait of a busy London, conjuring the hustle and bustle of everyday, metropolitan life.

The programme for last night's London Philharmonic concert at the Royal Festival Hall was wall-to-wall Late Romantic, with the first half consisting of three very different works linked by the theme of death.

I greatly anticipated the New York debut concert of two new European stars, cellist Gautier Capuçon and pianist Gabriela Montero. Both are artists of great passion and intensity, and they chose a program of works that reflected their myriad gifts – one mid-20th century, one early Romantic, and the last, late Romantic in style.
