Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Les Indes galantes

Christian Ihle Hadland’s piano sparkled in Ravel sandwiched by lively and joyful Rameau and Mozart.

The new production of Les Indes galantes at Opéra Bastille is exceptional, from the vocal cast to the choreography by Bintou Dembélé. But the stand-out performance of the evening comes from conductor Leonardo Garcia Alarcón.

The Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra led by Robert Mealy, with soprano Emőke Baráth and dancers Caroline Copeland and Pierre-François Dollé, showcase Rameau's vitality and originality.

New conductor Sofi Jeannin delights with her fresh thinking on choral concerts.

A delightful performance of Rameau's opera opens the Müpa's Early Music Festival.

Outdoor concerts are always prey to the vicissitudes of weather. The Festival of Early Music in Lativa is so well organized, unexpected light rain started just at the beginning of the interval and politely ceased before the second half of the programme. 

Jordi Savall conducts ‘Le Concert des Nations’ playing suites from Baroque’s controversial Jean-Philippe Rameau. The varied programme of the Italian music festival, Mito, is enriched with this historical hint of Baroque music.

  A suite by Rameau and Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances fill out the program for this Blossom Festival concert.

It was an evening for showing off. The Basel Chamber Orchestra (being Bartoli and Scholl’s frequent partners) performed Bizet and Rameau, plus a Mozart concerto with conductor Christian Zacharias directing from the piano. 

Christophe Rousset and Les talens lyriques present a delightful concert performance of Rameau's five-in-one opéra-ballet Les Indes galantes.

The amount of attention Igor Stravinsky’s iconoclastic ballet score The Rite of Spring has received this year – its 100th – has been enormous, perhaps even excessive. Countless important works, after all, routinely have anniversaries to celebrate, and very few are lucky enough to receive much particular attention. On Bachtrack alone, the year has seen nine concert reviews of the Rite so far.

Bei seinem langjährigen Aufführungspartner Kloster Michaelstein und mit vertrautem Geigendirigenten Enrico Onofri begeht das Ensemble einen Geburtstag voll satter Energie.

Una interesantísima propuesta de Leonardo García-Alarcón junto con la coreógrafa francesa Bintou Dembélé lleva la apolínea música de Rameau al escenario del Teatro Real.

Les Arts Florissants celebra su 40 aniversario con un excelente concierto en torno a un programa de grandes nombres del Barroco.

Une soirée en demi-teinte à Versailles pour des Indes galantes un peu ternes côté orchestre, mais vivifiées par une distribution d’excellence. 

El grupo francés Le Concert d’Astrée, dirigido por su fundadora Emmanuelle Haïm, interpretaron un programa de fragmentos operísticos de dos compositores fundamentales en el desarrollo de la música francesa: Marc-Antoine Charpentier y Jean-Philippe Rameau. Lo hicieron de la mano de una de las mezzosopranos más destacadas en el panorama internacional, Magdalena Kožená.

Diesem wunderbar zusammengestellten Opernabend fehlte keine inhaltliche Dramaturgie, allein mit noch mehr Mut, Expression und Stimmung hätte das Theatralische dem Flair des Besonderen Rechnung getragen.

Jubilar und Gäste bekamen mit dem so verlässlichen wie enthusiastischen Concerto Copenhagen ein tolles Geschenk präsentiert.
