La Orquesta Elbphilharmonie llena de misterio el Festival de Santander

Matteo Conti, 21st August

La orquesta de la NDR alemana sumergió al público de la sala Argenta de Santander en un mar de emociones que fluyeron desde la inconclusa y dramática Décima de Mahler, hasta la bucólica segunda sinfonía de Brahms, pasando por una selección de lieder del compositor vienés.

Bychkov's uneven Mahler 8 at the Elbphilharmonie

Alexander Hall, 11th April

Doing justice to the vast scale of Mahler's "Symphony of a Thousand" is itself the mightiest of tasks. Semyon Bychkov and his NDR forces only partially succeed.

A searingly powerful Duke Bluebeard's Castle at the Elbphilharmonie

Two Sergeis with Vinnitskaya and Valčuha at the Elbphilharmonie

Alexander Hall, 14th September

Rachmaninov and Prokofiev not only shared a first name. In their individual ways they helped define Russianness too. Anna Vinnitskaya, Juraj Valčuha and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester are here the exponents.

Music that makes the flesh creep: Kochanovsky's powerful Prokofiev 6

Alexander Hall

Alexander Hall divides his time between London and Hamburg, where he had a career in academic administration and teaching. He reviews for Bachtrack and Opera Today, and has also reviewed for Classical Source. A connoisseur of the great orchestras of the world, his musical memories stretch back to Karajan/Berlin Phil, Mravinsky/Leningrad Phil, Bernstein/Vienna Phil, and he has seen most of the great conductors from the past, including Böhm, Klemperer, Kubelik, Ormandy and Szell.
