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

Alena Baeva's exhilarating performance of Barber's Violin Concerto is the highlight of the Hallé 's American-themed concert under Marta Gardolińska. 

Online concert organisers need to stage their events more successfully than what was on offer here from Bournemouth. Schubert, Lyadov and Shostakovich all wrote memorable pieces. Nothing much memorable about these performances though.

Carmen est à l'affiche en ce mois de décembre à l'Opéra national du Rhin à Strasbourg, dans une production où brille l'étoile Stéphanie d'Oustrac.
