Touring with the ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro, Jakub Józef Orliński reinvents the Baroque recital formula at the Berlin Philharmonic featuring breakdancing, an audience sing-along and a good deal of fun.

Pageantry abounds as the popular mezzo-soprano turns the Konzerthaus Wien into a sort of classical music, multisensory varieté.

Considering how rarely celebrated diva Cecilia Bartoli appears in London, Wigmore Hall certainly pulled off a coup by making her duo concert with Philippe Jaroussky happen.

An delightful hour of Baroque rarities from Repicco and Friends.

Italian soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci, a darling of the Parisian opera stages, puts on a fine display of her vocal range on the occasion of the American première of her production titled Era la Notte (in English translation, “It Was Night”). Originally staged in 2006, this performance is being presented in New York as part of the White Light Festival at the Lincoln Center.

It is not often you find Monteverdi and Stravinsky snuggled side-by-side on the same programme, but that was exactly what was packed into the latest instalment of The Bostridge Project: ‘Ancient and Modern’ series at the Wigmore Hall.

The celebrated Giovanni Gabrieli, one of the most innovative and influential composers of the Venetian school, exacting the transition between the Renaissance and Baroque musical periods, died on 12 August 1612.

If Vienna is the holy temple of classical music (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Bruckner and Mahler all spent large tracts of their careers here), then the Musikverein is its holy of holies. Just soaking in all that history makes a visit here into a special occasion, and the heavily gilt halls are as opulent and redolent of empire as you might imagine.

Die Starsängerin Magdalena Kožená und das La Cetra Barockorchester unter Andrea Marcon sorgten im neobarocken Stadttheater für Festspiel-Feeling.

Ohne erkrankten Pichon, aber mit seinem perfekt abgestimmten Programm und Ensemble unter bravouröser, konzertrettender Leitung Sophie Gents überwältigte auch diese Bach-Reise.

Joyce DiDonato tient littéralement le Théâtre des Champs-Élysées sous son charme au cours d'un spectacle dédié à la Nature, parvenant à rendre cohérent un programme à la disparité assumée.

Wer bei diesem frühbarocken Programm und der Energie des Ensembles nicht mittanzt und genießt, dem ist nicht mehr zu helfen. Große Freude, purer Wahnsinn!

Fahmi Alquai y Accademia del Piacere ofrecen un recorrido por la música teatral de España e Italia y conmemoran al compositor del Barroco español más importante, José de Nebra.
