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

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. 

The New York Philharmonic opened its season last night with a splendidly conceived mash-up of selections from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. Unfortunately, the first half of the concert was less compelling.

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