Bach, Beethoven and a virtuoso showstopper from Bomsori Kim in recital in Singapore's Victoria Hall. 

The London Mozart Players produce effervescence in Prokofiev while cellist Maciej Kulakowski shines in a clean and expressive Schumann Cello Concerto.

What a day to hear an all-French programme, and with this fragile moment at its heart criticism feels futile, disrespectful even.

A century on from its birth, one of Switzerland’s leading orchestras finally makes its Proms debut in a scintillating programme of French and Russian music.

Maxim Vengerov and Polina Osetinskaya’s marathon of Brahms sonatas showed off the composer at his most lyrical and dramatic. 

Hakhnazaryan’s programme was rich with meaty music.

Just what the doctor ordered: a programme of Franco-Iberian musical delights to advance the cause of a Mediterranean lifestyle, with Charles Dutoit and the RPO in commanding form.

Cellist Gautier Capuçon and pianist Frank Braley are artists I have previously admired in many chamber ensemble concerts, but their recital at Kings Place was the first time I heard them as a duo.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic's last week of its classical music season at the Hollywood Bowl began with romantic French music under an almost full moon played the sexy Seattle way.

Donizetti's darkly comic one act opera Rita is the first fully staged opera presented by San Francisco's New Century Chamber Ensemble. 

As crowd-pulling operatic divas go, most of the attention goes to the sopranos. But a select number of mezzos have the same kind of following, and Latvia's Elina Garanča is high on that list. There are just a few roles where the mezzo is the main character of the opera (many of the others are "witches and bitches", as Garanča puts it), and the big one of those is Carmen.

Una noche para el recuerdo que demuestra que en Ludovic Tézier tenemos a un barítono extraordinario y, muy posiblemente, un futuro gran Wotan.

Le trio a invité une belle équipe de copains (Théo Fouchenneret, Edgar Moreau, Grégoire Vecchioni, Paul Zientara, Shuichi Okada) lors d'un programme « 1842 » parfois alambiqué mais formidablement défendu.

Daniel Hope gedenkt der Epoche mit einem vielfältigen Programm von Massenet bis Schönberg.
