En vivo, Video: Buscador de críticas de conciertos de música clásica, ópera, ballet y danza | Francesca da Rimini, Op.32

La ONE presentó un programa de estéticas muy diversas, ligado por algunos puntos fundamentales que Eschenbach supo resaltar magistralmente: la persistencia del sonido, el sentido de dramatismo y expresividad que atravesaba todas las piezas, y una tensión que pendió en todo momento de su batuta sin decaer mínimamente en ningún pasaje.

La Filarmónica de San Petersburgo se presentó de la mano de Ibermúsica, ambos mantienen una relación de ya 46 años que únicamente se explica al socaire de la preocupación por ofrecer música (especialmente la que comparte denominación de origen) con el mayor cuidado y al más alto nivel.

La OSPA nos sumergió en un vivo concierto a través de tres apasionadas obras de Mussorgsky, Piazzolla y Tchaikovsky.

Como el aprendiz de brujo, bajo su batuta mágica Antoni Wit logró que la Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra y el pianista Peter Jablonski transformaran las composiciones de los grandes compositores rusos del siglo XIX y XX en olas bulliciosas y torbellinos de vientos que cautivaron el auditorio del Baluarte.

Les Berliner Philharmoniker ont donné deux créations mondiales de Lisa Streich et Julia Wolfe. Une expérience musicale intense, où contrastes et émotions se mêlent dans une beauté résolument rebelle. 

“Abandon hope all ye who enter here” could have been the strapline for this brilliantly constructed, brilliantly played concert featuring music by Sibelius, Tchaikovsky and Thomas Adès himself. 

Tugan Sokhiev kehrt mit Tschaikowskys Francesca da Rimini und Schostakowitschs Neunter Symphonie nach Berlin zurück.

A doom-laden trip to Dante's Inferno via Shakespeare's star-cross'd lovers and a voyage across the lake to The Isle of the Dead. 

Pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk delivers a knockout Rachmaninov Paganini Rhapsody while JoAnn Falletta and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Chorus present memorable Tchaikovsky and Ravel scores.

A potentially stimulating mix of full-bloodied Russian orchestral writing not fully realised by the RPO and Alpesh Chauhan, but with a promising concerto debut by Diana Adamyan.

Le duo Ludmila Berlinskaia – Arthur Ancelle a proposé un fastueux programme de compositions et d'arrangements pour deux pianos au festival Liszt en Provence.

Anja Harteros éblouit dans Wagner et les Münchner Philharmoniker impressionnent dans Tchaïkovski et Strauss, sous la direction inimitable de Valery Gergiev.

A lot to commemorate but not all that much to celebrate in this concert given by the RPO with the twin Romanian combination of Cristian Mandeal and Alexandra Dăriescu.

Semyon Bychkovs Interpretation von Tschaikowskis Francesca da Rimini und Mahlers fünfter Symphonie boten einen Abend mit Emotionen und Extremen, wobei besonders die Fünfte überzeugen konnte.

Jan Mráček spielte intensiv und innig bis in die leisesten Flageolettöne; Mélodie Zhao bot eine technisch vollends überzeugende Leistung, die gelegentlich etwas über das Ziel hinausschoss.

Semyon Bychkov brought out the best in the BBC Symphony Orchestra in the latest concert of his Tchaikovsky project.

Two days after his stimulating solo recital, Lang Lang returned to the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House for Grieg’s Piano Concerto.

Mit Prokofjews siebter Sinfonie präsentierte Nézet-Séguin ein Werk voll heiterer Melodien, walzerselig, fast mit Swing im zweiten Satz, rasant, virtuos, dynamisch gut differenziert.

Stravinsky, Delius's evokation of the experience of Norwegain mountains, Rachmaninov and Tchaikosky in a stunning concert by the Hallé, the Hallé Choir and Sir Mark Elder 

Impressively, Principal Conductor Nézet-Séguin matched his predecessor, Valery Gergiev, with such high quality Russian repertoire. 

Vladimir Jurowski and the London Philharmonic Orchestra produced an intriguing programme with some rare Taneyev, invigorating Tchaikovsky and fresh Sibelius.

I’m not sure where Sinbad was sailing to in the St Petersburg Philharmonic’s Prom last night, but he sure wanted to get there in a hurry. A frenetic – and thrilling – performance of Scheherazade displayed great impetuosity. 

The Sinfónica Juvenil de Caracas tackled a brooding Romantic programme in a showcase of impressive power.

Tchaïkovski et Rachmaninov sans réelles surprises - l’Orchestre philharmonique de Saint-Pétersbourg et Iouri Temirkanov à l’Auditorium de Lyon.

La venue du mythique chef finlandais Leif Segerstam était un événement en soi : transfigurant l'Orchestre National de France, il l'a aussi fait accéder au cercle très fermé des orchestres « sibéliens ». Du grand art !

Though impressively performed by the Moscow players, conductor Yuri Simonov's interpretative choices did not always convince in Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony.

This past Thursday and Friday, Yo-Yo Ma (the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant), Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra tackled the immensely challenging Lutosławski Cello Concerto.

The haze of the surreal, somnambulistic nightscape of Witold Lutosławski’s Les espaces du sommeil cast its strange pall over the expanse of the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s December 7 concert at Walt Disney Hall with Esa-Pekka Salonen at the podium.

For those who like their orchestral music Romantic, strident and generally unrelenting, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s concert on 1 November was just the job. Korngold’s Violin Concerto in D major, played by Nicola Benedetti, was sandwiched in between two emotionally charged pieces of Tchaikovksy as the RPO under Diego Matheuz played to a packed Royal Festival Hall.

Esa-Pekka Salonen is an impressive conductor to watch. His movement is fluid, elegant and simple, yet he achieves a wide range of different gestures: I'm not an orchestral musician but I imagine that it would be very easy to follow his intent.
