The world premiere of Sebastian Currier’s Aether for violin and orchestra shifts attention from Till Eulenspiegel's earthy antics to the cosmic.

Die langsame Einleitung des Finales gefiel mit ausgezeichneter Koordination in den beschleunigenden Pizzicati, das Hornthema – Brahms' Geburtstagsgruß an Clara Schumann – sehr schön herausgearbeitet.

Debussy und das Pianistenduo schafften es, die irisierende Traumwelt, die atmosphärische, zauberhafte Stimmung des Orchesterwerks beispielhaft auf die Klaviere zu übertragen.

Captiavting European musical narratives in Washington DC.

Le Victoria Hall a été l’écrin du violoncelle d’Andreas Brantelid, qui a éclairé d’un romantisme lumineux le concerto d’Elgar, sous la direction inspirante de Marko Letonja. On regrette que le reste de la soirée n’ait pas fait preuve du même équilibre.

A polished and deeply moving Beethoven Violin Concerto from Nikolaj Znaider was complemented by exquisite and vibrant performances of Max Reger and Richard Strauss from the Staatskapelle Dresden.

In this last concert in the Leipzig Gewandhaus and Riccardo Chailly’s brief residency at the Barbican, all concerned were on top form. 

La venue à la Philharmonie de Paris pour trois concerts de l’Orchestre du Gawandhaus de Leipzig et de son directeur musical, Riccardo Chailly, était un événement très attendu. Comme les deux précédents, ce dernier concert était consacré à Richard Strauss et Mozart. Cette troisième soirée fut tout à fait exceptionnelle.

Pour son premier concert en tant que directeur musical de l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, le chef finlandais Mikko frappe fort. Vivement le suite….

Flags, balloons and musical revelry bring the BBC Proms season to a close. 

Mit Dvořák und Strauss gaben Valery Gergiev und die Münchner Philharmoniker dem Münchner Publikum einen Vorgeschmack auf die kommende Saison und gedachten gleichzeitig Lorin Maazel an dessen 85. Geburtstag.

Karneval und Klassik, Klassik und Unterhaltungsmusik – dass diese Elemente nicht in Widerspruch stehen, sondern eine so unterhaltsame wie musikalisch hochkarätige Einheit eingehen können, zeigte Blechschaden, das Blechbläserensemble der Münchner Philharmoniker, anlässlich des Faschingskonzerts im Mozartsaal des Mannheimer Rosengartens.

The concert also featured the world premiere of Matthias Pintscher's idyll and a Strauss favorite, Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks.

Fine renditions of Brahms's Haydn Variations and Strauss's Death and Transfiguration and Till Eulenspiegel more than compensate for an underwhelming rendition of Rihm's Lichtes Spiel in the Concertgebouw's performance at the Berlin Festival.

Leonidas Kavakos's technical mastery and musical sensitivity work beautifully with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to produce shimmering brilliance.

The Oslo Chamber Music Festival present a mixed bag of new music and chamber arrangements of Strauss tone poems.

Le concert de clôture du Festival Des Arcs: un pari osé mais réussi

After 19 years, David Zinman took his leave from the post of music director of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich yesterday with an affectionate Proms programme of Strauss, Dvořák and Beethoven. 

Despite Richard Strauss' few connections with Leipzig, the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Riccardo Chailly offered a vivdly characterized tribute to the composer on his 150th anniversary, from an affectionate Don Quixote to a witty - and furiously paced - Till Eulenspiegel. 

The Philharmonia Orchestra delivers electrifiying readings of two very different late Romantic classics, in a thrilling concert, marred only by a pedestrian intepretation of Mozart's Violin Concerto no. 3.

Ferdinand David, the concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra when Mendelssohn was conductor, must have been quite a virtuoso for the composer to have written his Violin Concerto in E minor for him.

Tchaikovsky’s early symphonies are getting a fair bit of exposure at present, both in the concert hall and on disc, thanks to several complete symphony cycles being undertaken in the UK by the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and, here in Birmingham, by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.

Established in 1987 by Leonard Bernstein, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra last year joined the exclusive club of youth orchestras to have performed at the Salzburg Festival and was immediately invited back for a return appearance this season.

In this, the last of his farewell programmes, Stéphane Denève bade au revoir to Edinburgh in front of an audience of the great and the good, containing ambassadors, diplomats and ministers as well as all his Edinburgh fans. There were speeches, presentations and more than a touch of the Hollywood Academy Awards Ceremony. “But what about the music?” I hear you ask.

Following their acclaimed 'Bartók: Infernal Dance' series, the Philharmonia moved on Thursday to another of the twentieth century’s great composers: Richard Strauss. Strauss’s youthful tone poems, Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche were contrasted with his gloriously autumnal Four Last Songs, with Mozart’s 25th Symphony serving as a rather unexpected companion.

Lorin Maazel, a former director of the New York Philharmonic, brought his exacting music-making back to the podium for a nine-day guest appearance. A wizard of baton technique – even the back of his head communicates what he wants the orchestra to do – his performances leave little room for spontaneity and generally contain odd interpretive choices. Today was no exception.

On paper, Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche seems a non sequitur to choral and orchestral works by Elgar and Grainger. In Proms 24, Elgar’s part-song There is sweet music and Violin Concerto in B minor were at home next to Grainger’s setting of Londonderry Air and likeable In a Nutshell suite.
