Although Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique was the headline work for the September 27th Cleveland Orchestra concert at Severance Hall, the big news was principal oboist Frank Rosenwein’s personal triumph as soloist in Richard Strauss’ 1946 Oboe Concerto, with music director Franz Welser-Möst conducting.

It was a night that didn't augur well for those Hollywood Bowl patrons seeking the usual symphonic serenade under starlight. Los Angeles, on Thursday night, was seized by a sudden heat wave that was accompanied with stifling humidity more fitting for Manila or Saigon than the Hollywood Hills.

This season New York City Ballet unveiled two entirely new ballets by choreographers Peter Martins and Benjamin Millepied. Both world premieres took place during the NYCB’s spring gala earlier this month and were reprised Tuesday night for an eager, if not as impressively dressed, audience.Martins’ Mes oiseaux (“My Birds”), first of the night, included some interesting choices.

It must be heart-warming for a young composer, sharing the bill with Beethoven and Stravinsky, to know that the programme has been named after her piece. The clear, confident writing in Helen Grime's A Cold Spring (2009) effectively conveyed the visual contrast offered by sharp-edged, bright days at this time of year.
A Celebration of Bob Lockyer was less a celebration of the man than of his work. Lockyer has had a full career ranging from producer of award-winning dance programmes at the BBC, to chair of Dance UK and South-East Dance. His lengthy career has earned him the accolade of “one of the great heroes of British dance”.

A happy few: that was how Gabriel Kahane referred to his cohorts on stage at the Galapagos Art Space. But there was more than met the eye to Sunday night’s performance.
The curtain opened to reveal the stage at the Galapagos Art Space, and there sat the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, without a conductor. Truthfully, the effect was strange at first. But all reservations were immediately rescinded with the very first movement from Paul Hindemith’s Kammermusik no. 1, Op.24 no.1.

Dans un champ plutôt sociologique, ses recherches se concentrent autour des questions relatives à l’identité de genre, sociale et collective. Particulièrement sensible à l’art lyrique, elle se livre à l’écoute et à l’étude du répertoire opératique avec passion. Sa fréquentation assidue des salles de concerts et maisons d'opéra lui permet d'affiner ses connaissances et sa perception des œuvres, situant ainsi la musique au cœur de ses préoccupations.https://bachtrack.com/files/49777-sancta-susanna---elisa-haberer---onp.jpg510340Sancta SusannaElisa Haberer2016-Nov-30, Opéra Bastille: Cavalleria rusticana/ Sancta Susannahttps://bachtrack.com/opera-listing/opera-bastille/cavalleria-rusticana-sancta-susanna/30-november-2016/19-302016-11-302016-12-23Opéra BastilleParisÎle-de-FranceFrance75012120 rue de Lyon48.8526362.370025https://www.operadeparis.fr/en/season-16-17/opera/cavalleria-rusticana-sancta-susanna?utm_medium=display&utm_source=bachtrack.comhttps://bachtrack.com/files/51551-opera-national-de-paris-logo.jpg2

Ayant pratiqué le chant choral et s'étant exercé au chant lyrique -ce que l'état de sa voix, entre autres, ne lui permet malheureusement plus- il est à l'écoute de l'actualité musicale, un penchant pour les claviers : orgue, piano, clavecin.
Les concerts des artistes qui le passionnent, leurs enregistrements, l'écoute fréquente de France-Musique, la recherche assidue de ce qui satisfait la curiosité d'un mélomane, alimentent sa vie culturelle de retraité. Il n'est pas indifférent à la chorégraphie, ayant eu l'initiative et la charge d'un jumelage, durant plusieurs années, entre le Ballet de l'Opéra National du Rhin et l'établissement dans lequel il enseignait.
Il partage volontiers ses coups de cœur, son enthousiasme étant encore fortifié lorsqu'il parvient, au moins en partie, à le communiquer à autrui.https://bachtrack.com/files/49026-marek-janowski---felix-broede.jpg511340Marek JanowskiFelix Broede2016-Nov-10, Philharmonie: Die vornehmste aller Visionenhttps://bachtrack.com/concert-listing/philharmonie-1/die-vornehmste-aller-visionen/10-november-2016/20-002016-11-102016-11-10PhilharmonieBerlinBerlinGermanyD107851 Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße52.509652313.369481599999972https://www.rsb-online.de/konzerte/konzertkalender/index_ger.html?utm_medium=display&utm_source=bachtrack.com&eventId=52455&ACTION_OPASCALENDAR=displayEvent&lang=ger&startdate=2016/11/10&year:int=2016&month:int=11https://bachtrack.com/files/36899-berlin_radio_symphony_orchestra_logo.jpg5
