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

After 572 dark days, there was music on the stage of Carnegie Hall. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Philadelphia Orchestra in a jubilant program, culminating in a blistering Beethoven’s Fifth.

An afternoon of mostly enjoyable singing and music-making from the chorus and instrumentalists of La Fenice in an empty Teatro Malibran.

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra explores student works from Bernstein’s punchy Clarinet Sonata, Barber’s String Quartet, featuring his greatest hit, and Coleridge-Taylor’s sunny Nonet. 

Mixing American and Russian classics, Slatkin articulated the structural design of the works and delivered their emotional essence.

In the unlikeliest of pairings at RCS, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas finds resonance with Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti, delivered with spirited commitment.
