Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Symphony no. 90 in C major

Barbara Hannigan conducts the LSO at the Barbican in an eclectic programme full of exuberant flair.

The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra's new chief conductor revels in a flawless performance from his star players.

Sir Simon Rattle steers the LSO through a sequence of Haydn’s most forward-looking pieces while Denis Kozhukhin, as a late stand-in, is immense in Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto.

A richly varied programme of Haydn, Barber and Shostakovich that mostly played to the strengths of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

The finale of Haydn’s Symphony no. 90 is a dramatic, exciting C major event, with trumpets and drums, much to stir the heart and get the toes tapping. Everything’s bustling along very nicely towards its inevitable triumphant conclusion, which duly arrives.

Das Chamber Orchestra of Europe und Sir Simon Rattle verzaubern in der Philharmonie mit Beethoven und Haydn.

David Guerrier, magistral au Bâtiment des Forces Motrices de Genève, a suscité l'enthousiasme grâce à son interprétation du concerto de Chostakovitch. Malheureusement, la structure du programme n'a pas été en faveur de Haydn.
