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

The Grim Reaper swept the aisles of the Royal Festival Hall in Vladimir Jurowski's latest programme in the Southbank Centre’s “Belief and Beyond Belief” series which explores faith and spirituality. 

The Studio for New Music is a Russian contemporary music ensemble, and is the ensemble-in-residence of the Moscow Conservatory. At this concert at the Oslo Opera House, their first in Norway, they presented a programme of Russian music, ranging from Stravinsky’s 1914 song cycle Pribaoutki to Vladimir Tarnopolski’s 2001 piece Chevengur for soprano and chamber ensemble.

Les deux musiciens ont offert un programme 100% russe, avec une magnifique sonate de Chostakovitch et une œuvre rarement jouée : les Variations sur un thème de Schubert de Denisov.
