Nothing to make the horses shy in this latest instalment of the successful artistic partnership between the ASMF and its Music Director.

Each of the works are particularly radiant in themselves, but made even more so as they were presented here.

François Leleux both conducts and plays the oboe in Edinburgh, initiating a strong partnership with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

Chances to hear Messiaen's epic Turangalîla-Symphonie are few and far between and should be grasped accordingly.

A new score by Melinda Wagner, concertante pieces for saxophone and orchestra with Branford Marsalis, and works of Bizet and Debussy comprised Susanna Mälkki’s CSO program, intriguing in its eclecticism.

During Jessie Montgomery's Records from a Vanishing City, musical styles from avant-garde jazz to Angolan lullabies quarreled and overlapped, keeping our ears pricked for the duration of the piece.

The ASMF under their veteran conductor Sir Neville Marriner celebrate his 92nd birthday and almost six decades of music-making in performances of Mozart and Bizet, with Till Fellner as soloist.

Last Friday evening’s well-planned concert mostly produced some fine playing from both the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Benjamin Grosvenor but had the occasional misfire.

I can say with confidence that in the many years I have seen the CBSO in concert, tonight’s performance was undoubtedly their best.

Dans le cadre du Festival Ravel, l'Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine, Paul Daniel et Marc Coppey ont investi une salle de pelote basque pour un programme entièrement consacré à la musique française.

Kazuki Yamada conviait Genève à fêter l’esprit français au travers de symphonies de Bizet et Saint-Saëns. Bravo aux musiciens pour cette belle soirée ! 

Un programme qui soulève la question de la relation entre danse, musique et paroles. Philippe Jordan, Anja Harteros, et l'Orchestre de l'Opéra de Paris relèvent le défi au cours d'un concert  aussi bien construit qu'interprété.
