Superlative performances of two Galina Ustvolskaya's symphonies at the Southbank Centre show it is time that the composer be included in the pantheon of the post-war avant-garde.

The vitality and combustible energy of Ustvolskaya's music is unleashed thanks to a fiery spark from Siwan Rhys. 

Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski returns to the London Philharmonic Orchestra, bringing with him some rare jewels such as Paul Hindemith's Violin Concerto. 

Nothing quite ordinary or indeed comforting here, the heavy mixture of acid colouring in Lindberg, Ustvolskaya and Stravinsky not tempered by any opulence in Rachmaninov.

Anja Bihlmaier presents the scintillating Suite by Galina Ustvolskaya, an unsettling Shostakovich 9, which finds comedy and tragedy side by side, and then Dvořák’s heart-warming Cello Concerto with Leonard Elschenbroich.

Ustvolskaya’s piano pieces can be thunderous or gentle as a soft rain, but at all times Schroeder played with deliberation. Each moment carried with it its own independent world.

Bold and colourful invocations of twentieth-century classics from Ensemble Modern and composer George Benjamin.

A journey of emotions with the Munich Philharmonic under Gergiev resplendent in Ravel and Richard Strauss, thought-provoking in Ustvolskaya, and Behzod Abduraimov electrifying in Rachmaninov.

Marino Formenti only briefly introduced his eclectic whirlwind recital, “Liszt Inspections”, before calling out “Good luck!” and diving into one of the most attention-grabbing sequences of music that I’ve ever witnessed.

On Sunday afternoon, Glenn Gould Studio became host to a professional photo-shoot as well as the Amici Ensemble’s feature concert, “Fashionista: Fashion as Art.” The unique theme featured elegant gowns by Rosemarie Umetsu, demonstrating what one can draw and create from such elaborate musical selections. First on the programme was Galina Ustvolskaya’s Trio for Violin, Clarinet, and Piano.
