Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Cadogan Hall

What an enterprising programme from Domingo Hindoyan, Matthew Gee and the RPO: a sparkling orchestral piece by Suk, an energising trombone concerto by Tomasi and a much-loved symphony by Dvořák.

New Zealand’s Gemma New conducts the RPO in a programme with a Slavonic feel, with an overture by Dvořák, a concerto by Shostakovich and a popular symphony by Tchaikovsky. 

When you tour abroad, it makes good sense to have in your travelling bag scores taken from your homeland. The Brno Philharmonic under Dennis Russell Davies with Alexander Sitkovetsky showcase Janáček, Korngold and Dvořák.

Yuri Simonov showcases his musicians in ballet scores by Tchaikovsky and Khachaturian, while Alexandra Dăriescu embraces the Romantic spirit in Rachmaninov.

Gergiev, Demin, and the Mariinsky Orchestra deliver a performance full of vitality, virtuosity, and determination.
