Ensemble 360 goes seriously off piste in this richly varied concert of mostly American music curated by star trumpeter Matilda Lloyd

John Wilson brings energy, colour and drama to his Russian-dominated Dublin programme, while Emanuil Ivanov dazzles technically but leaves Tchaikovsky’s lyricism wanting.

In Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, Schnittke’s Viola Concerto is bookended by elegiac Bach and memorable Shostakovich, conducted by Patrick Hahn. 

Gustavo Dudamel introduced himself to his new subscription audience with a rendition of Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 that was at once surgically precise, startlingly forceful and compellingly human.

A concert of “works in progress” at Zürcher Gallery in Manhattan’s East Village. 

Drama, precision and high-definition contrast in a thrilling Resurrection Symphony at the Philharmonie.

Is a concert ever worth more than five stars? This one – from the Hallé, Kahchun Wong and Sir Steven Hough – may well be.

Can you shrink La Mer into a piano trio? Ensemble 360 shows how it might be done, alongside a sparkling new work for trio forces by Dani Howard.
