Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews

Alisa Weilerstein shows why Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations deserves to be considered a concerto, while Alan Gilbert’s view of the Eroica with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester raises some doubts.

The Zurich Opernhaus tackles the pandemic with an innovative strategy: instead of reducing the size of orchestra and chorus (as many other European opera houses) it removes them from the theatre altogether. The new production of Boris Godunov, by Barrie Kosky, is the first test.

In their latest contribution to the Berlin Festival, Kirill Petrenko and the Berlin Philharmonic, with violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, brought together brooding Berg and sunny Dvořák.

The Mahler Chamber Orchestra takes to the road again with a 20th-century programme of music by Janáček and Ravel, with Sir George Benjamin conducting Pierre-Laurent Aimard in one of his own compositions.

In an upbeat programme, Cecilia Bartoli and the Musiciens du Prince-Monaco pay tribute to the dynamism of four leading Baroque composers.
