Young French performers impress in their Hallé debuts in an elegant Saint-Saëns cello concerto and Rachmaninov's stirring Symphonic Dances. 

A mainly French programme of Chabrier, Saint-Saëns and Franck drew mixed performances, but it was a memorable performance of the latter's Symphony in D minor that crowned the evening at Poole's Lighthouse. 

Sean Shibe impresses alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme of nimble works at the Cadogan Hall. 

Chloé van Soeterstède led the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a program of three light works clustered around the Schumann A minor Cello Concerto.
