A Requiem to soothe troubled souls at NOSPR in Katowice

David Karlin, 17th May

Debussy's early cantata is played with verve by NOSPR but exposes its composer's inexperience; Mansurian's memorial to genocide shows off the exceptional musicianship of the RIAS Kammerchor.

Mystery and melancholy, but missing the madness

Jonathan Sutherland, 11th May

A stellar performance of Mahler’s cosmic Third symphony reinforces the reputation of Katowice as a bone fide member of the premier European music league.

Sublime Mahler and Penderecki: The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Bristol

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 24th February

What a concert – the programme and the musicans were sublime. This time, Colston Hall got it spot on with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. Seeing all of the credits for the orchestra in the back of the programme prepared me for a big and bold sound that was just short of 100 musicians. Each and every one of them contributed to a fantastic sound under the baton of Jacek Kaspszyk.
