Triunfal comienzo del Festival Internacional de Música de Canarias

Mena y la BBC Phil inauguran el Festival de Santander

Ramón del Buey Cañas, 5th August

Con el empaste orgánico y la complicidad construida concierto a concierto desde 2011, el tándem BBC-Mena vibró, bailó y estremeció. El torrente sonoro cuidó hasta el menor recoveco de pentagrama, cuajando el mejor de los augurios para lo que resta de festival.

Leighton Jones, 1st May

Balance issues mar an otherwise compelling programme from John Storgårds and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

Peter Connors, 24th January

Anja Bihlmaier conducts the BBC Philharmonic in a moving D'un soir triste and joyful Dances of Galánta. Bluebeard's Castle, despite some fine things. feels less satisfying.
