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

Janowski anchors his Chicago Symphony program with Bruckner’s Third, prefacing with music of Weber and Liszt.

The Bayerische Staatsoper's revival of a controversial production containing Georg Baselitz’s artwork succeeds with strong musical performances led by veterans of Wagnerian operas.

The Norwegian soprano is acclaimed at the Met in Richard Strauss' mash-up of commedia dell'arte and tragic opera. 

Brio is one important element in the mining of Romantic feeling. Not everything worked in this combination of Mendelssohn, Bruch and Schumann.

Janowski's concept rang consistently true and the musicians did him proud.

Emily Magee was in glowingly refulgent voice as the 'damsel in distress', Euryanthe, in this concert performance of Weber's rarity. 

Long climbs often provide the best views. The Adagio second movement of Anton Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony bears the tempo marking Sehr feierlich und sehr langsam… and it is very solemn and very slow indeed.

With disappointing Schumann followed by engrossing, but incomplete, excerpts from Wagner's Götterdämmerung, Marek Janowski and the Oslo Philharmonic fail to make a splash.

Frank Castorf's controversial but supremely well-cast Ring cycle is provocative to the last.

Visual references both incongruous and perceptive abound in the third instalment of Bayreuth's musically triumphant Ring cycle.

Singing, orchestral playing and scenic portrayal all combine to make a highly memorable second instalment of Wagner's Ring.

Bayreuth's controversial Ring returns with a new conductor and a refreshed cast.

The Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, led by Marek Janowski, performs Beethoven's Triple Concerto and Sixth Symphony. 

Lively performances Beethoven’s First and Second Symphonies demonstrating that composer’s compositional development, plus Hindemith’s colorful Symphonic Metamorphosis, made for an enjoyable evening at Severance Hall. 

Marek Janowski has been the chief conductor of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra since 2002. This concert of Beethoven, Britten and Dvořák found both conductor and orchestra on find form. 

If there was an overall theme for this week’s Cleveland Orchestra concert, it was not discernable, which did not in any way reduce the pleasure that it brought. The distinguished Polish conductor Marek Janowski made his second appearance with the orchestra, the first having been in 2012.

Even in a festival anchored around a handful of 20th-century composers touched by the presence of war – Benjamin Britten, Dmitri Shostakovich, Béla Bartók, Witold Lutosławski – the program on Thursday night with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and their chief conductor, Marek Janowski, was especially haunted by the memory of atrocity. It was a night of tough music with little reprieve.

Tabea Zimmermann, die Grande Dame unter den Bratschistinnen, begeistert mit einer denkwürdigen Interpretation von Hindemiths vernachlässigtem Violakonzert. Marek Janowski und das Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich assistieren gekonnt.

Marek Janowski und Augustin Hadelich brillieren in Mendelssohn Bartholdy und Bruckners Siebenter Symphonie.

Le jeune pianiste déploie un jeu subtil, tendre et délicat dans le 23e Concerto de Mozart. Marek Janowski laisse une impression plus mitigée dans la Neuvième Symphonie d’Anton Bruckner.

Romantische Stationen von Schubert zu Strauss beim spannungsreichen Konzert des Sinfonieorchesters Basel.

Marek Janowski revient à Genève pour diriger deux symphonies de Schumann, portant au sommet un Orchestre de la Suisse Romande qui donne le meilleur de lui-même.

L’Orchestre de la Suisse Romande revient avec Marek Janowski en terres germaniques, pour un concert intégralement consacré à Robert Schumann. Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt s'illustre dans le Concerto pour violoncelle.

Pour célébrer ses rares retrouvailles avec le Philharmonique de Radio France, Marek Janowski a concocté un programme dévoilant l'orchestre sous différentes coutures. 

Mit diesem Ring-Auftakter gelingt Janowski ein im Großen und Ganzen überzeugendes Plädoyer für Wagner konzertant.

Un beau concert sous la direction d’un Marek Janowski juvénile et irradiant l’Orchestre Symphonique de la Radio de Berlin d’une belle énergie. Quand bien même on aura relevé quelques manques aux vents, ce Bruckner eût assurément du panache !

Concert le 10 novembre de l'Orchestre de la radio de Berlin dans la salle du Berliner Philharmoniker. Sous la prestigieuse direction de Marek Janowsky, un impeccable orchestre propose deux pièces de Hindemith puis accompagne dans le 4° Concerto de Beethoven, le relativement jeune et éminent pianiste, Francesco Piemontesi remplaçant Yefim Bronfman souffrant.
