Con el cartel de entradas agotadas, comenzó una velada de esas que quedan en el recuerdo como la huella indeleble de un acontecimiento único. Eschenbach, al frente de la ONE, ofrecieron una extraordinaria lectura de la Sinfonía del Nuevo Mundo; además, disfrutamos de la musicalidad del chelista Pablo Ferrández, que nos regaló una instrospectiva versión del concierto de Schumann.
Der Cellist präsentiert eine bemerkenswert eigenständige Interpretation Schostakowitschs, und auch Tjeknavorian beweist bei Brahms hervorragendes technisches Können.
Vielfältig und beschwingt gestaltete das recreation – großes Orchester Graz einen Abend ganz im Zeichen des närrischen Treibens zum Höhepunkt der Faschingszeit.
The Hallé and Sir Mark Elder start their Dvořák festival with a concert demonstrating the glories of his lesser known music including Francesco Piemontesi starring in the Piano Concerto.
Mit ihrem Programm versprach die Dresdner Philharmonie ein Konzert voll großer Melodien, das mit Nobuyuki Tsujii unter der Leitung von Michael Sanderling die klanglichen Details ins Zentrum rückte.
The BBC Philharmonic brought us a fascinating programme of intriguingly juxtaposed perspectives from the old world and the new, before a heartfelt return to the European tradition.

In a pioneering development, the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland have added a new orchestra to its family which now encompasses eight playing groups. There are now three orchestras providing a full development pathway for talented players aged 8 to 25, starting with the Junior Orchestra, through the new Senior Orchestra and culminating in the flagship National Youth Orchestra of Scotland.
Mirroring the January ritual of all who indulge in one final dessert-binge before dieting to honor ill-fated New Year’s resolutions, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra got plenty of Romanticism out of their system this weekend before their Mozart Festival, set to last the remainder of this month. They hosted two young guest artists, conductor Pablo González and violinist Nicola Benedetti, for works by Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms.
The Last Night of the Proms isn’t really a concert at all; it’s two very different concerts put on one after the other. The first is something like what we’re used to from a Prom, with big-name soloists performing alongside the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Symphony Chorus in world premières and classic works from the repertoire.
Last night’s program with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra was one of those to really get your teeth into, with substantial, complex works by Brahms and Rachmaninov, and only a short amount of respite provided by Dvořák. This was serious music in the form of the heavyweight Brahms Piano Concerto no. 1, which contains almost too much music to comprehend in one sitting.
Bell’s Whisky used to be almost synonymous with Perth, and anyone who lives in Perth and Kinross will have been touched by the generosity of A.K. Bell’s Gannochy Trust, started 75 years ago. Early projects included sewerage systems to improve the quality of the river Tay, and setting up the Gannochy Housing Estate.
This past weekend offered a taste of the great British summer with temperatures soaring into the high 20s. And yet, despite the lure of an afternoon spent reclining on the sunny beaches of the South Coast, large crowds flocked to the Lighthouse in Poole to watch the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra perform in their annual Benevolent Fund Concert, led by Portuguese conductor Rui Pinheiro.
There was a time, perhaps not too long ago, when music lovers in Los Angeles would look towards New York and its august Philharmonic Orchestra with a mixture of respect and envy. The roster of its past music directors—among them Bernstein, Mitropoulos, Toscanini, Mengelberg, and Mahler—was, alone, enough to inspire jaw-gaping awe.
Magnus Lindberg’s music draws upon the idioms of the classical canon, even as it exploits the myriad innovations and stylistic resources available to contemporary composers. His Piano Concerto no. 2, given its world premiere by the New York Philharmonic on this program, flits between key signatures rather than staying rooted in strict atonality.
The internet makes it simple for the mind's ear to travel. A click to this page on Bachtrack and you're right there: in the Dvorak Hall of the Rudolfinum in Prague, listening to the Czech Philharmonic. Hearing that orchestra play away from home, in the Royal Albert Hall, one loses something - a lot of the instrumental detail inevitably drifts off into the hall.
