Every August, the Hiroshima Symphony Orchestra gives a concert to commemorate and reflect on the tragedy of the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima on 6th August 1945.

The players of the Budapest Festival Orchestra once again proved themselves to be a remarkably cohesive ensemble.

À Saint-Denis, le Mahler Chamber Orchestra propose des miniatures convaincantes de Mahler ou Berio. Clou du spectacle, une Eva Zaïcik royale, qui illumine tout autant les Kindertotenlieder que les Folksongs.

Tragedy turns to joy in an evening laden with expectations and emotion.

Ater seven years at the helm and a controversial early departure, Thomas Hengelbrock gives his final concerts as principal conductor of the oldest German radio orchestra.

On aurait pu craindre, le temps d’une Maurerische Trauermusik nous confirmant l’inadéquation de l’acoustique du TCE à l’effectif symphonique classique, que le choix de l’économie et de la joliesse, au détriment de l’émotion et de la profondeur, ne vienne blanchir la dureté d’un programme composé de véritables chefs-d’œuvre.

Le défilé d’orchestres étrangers dans la capitale ne faiblit pas, et après Berlin, Chicago et Londres, la Philharmonie nous offrait cette semaine Munich.

Zubin Mehta gibt den Wiener Philharmoniker in einem historischen Programm Zeit zur Entfaltung; Matthias Goerne bietet eine vielseitige Interpretation von Mahlers Kindertotenlieder.

Sara Mingardo a offert au Théâtre des Nations de Genève un programme autour du romantisme exacerbé de Mahler et Wagner qui convient bien peu à la cantatrice qui possède néanmoins une voix magnifique et qui reste incontournable dans le répertoire baroque.

Philippe Herreweghe dirigeait l’Orchestre des Champs-Élysées au Théâtre du même nom dans les Kindertotenlieder de Mahler, chantés par Ann Hallenberg, et la Symphonie No. 4 de Brahms. Une soirée pleine de musicalité, parfois surprenante, toujours cohérente.

Friday’s concert served as an interesting showcase of music that, undeservedly, isn’t performed too often. Even though the performances were somewhat lacking, the quality of the music shone through.

Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Yannick Nézet-Séguin score personal triumphs with l’Orchestre Métropolitain in their first concert together in thirteen years.

There seemed to be an air of general disinterest surrounding the Oslo Philharmonic last Thursday. They were playing what on paper seemed like a fairly interesting programme, Grieg’s rarely heard orchestration of his Lyric Pieces, Mahler’s devastating Kindertotenlieder and Schumann’s triumphant Symphony no. 2, and yet it somehow didn’t seem like it was of much of interest to the orchestra.

Strauss's Tod und Verklärung is the work of a young man seeking to impress with his profundity and modernity after his early success with the wildly exuberant Don Juan. It is often said that the "death" part is more convincing than the "transfiguration" part, and this is largely true - while the former comes off beautifully, the latter is far too prosaic musically for the exalted subject matter.
