Daredevil piano playing and luscious Stravinsky at the 47th Istanbul Music Festival.

A varied concert of new music by Anthony Payne, Max Bruch's 1st Violin Concerto with Ray Chen, a Tchaikovsky rarity and a rousing early work by Vaughan Williams

CBSO sparkled in the all Russian programme;  Tchaikovsky' Fifth and the Glazunov Violin Concerto brilliantly delivered, full of oustanding individual performances.

A rare sighting of Muti and Mahler had stellar results in the bucolic Fourth Symphony, prefaced by two of Tchaikovsky's Shakespearean tone poems.

Alisa Weilerstein's intense, intimate, personal rendering of the Elgar Cello Concerto is the highlight of an otherwise lacklustre concert from Pablo Heras-Casado and the LSO.

Dernier concert de la saison symphonique de l’Orchestre Pau Pays Béarn, avec un programme de musique russe symphonique et poétique empruntée à Modeste Moussorgski, Piotr IlitchTchaïkovski et Igor Stravinsky.
