Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | After the Fall, for piano and orchestra

The Icelandic pianist and Finnish conductor make a superb case for John Adams' latest concerto; the Philharmonia play Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé strongly but don't convince completely.

Compelling as a composer and conductor, Adams restored Roy Harris' Third Symphony to the Los Angeles repertoire, alongside one of his most recent works.

At the Elbphilharmonie, a programme of Ligeti, Adams and Lutosławski showcases the power of modern orchestral music to engage both intellectually and emotionally. 

La création française d'After the Fall, concerto pour piano de John Adams, a laissé une impression mitigée, au contraire du reste du programme, formidablement convaincant sous la baguette du chef estonien.
