Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Concert champêtre, FP 49

Chilly neoclassical elegance and fizzing Baroque excitement from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Edinburgh. 

Corinna Niemeyer conducts the Orchestre de Paris, which had never played Poulenc's Concert champêtre before, and had only given one performance each of the Sinfonietta and Organ Concerto. Incroyable !

Jory Vinikour was the soloist for Poulenc’s rarely heard Concert champêtre. A performance of Rachmaninov's Symphony no. 2, in which thrilling excess ruled, completed the program.

Notwithstanding Esfahani and McKeish’s sterling account of the Poulenc and the orchestra’s thrilling take on The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, this was not a consistent enough concert to be called a complete success.

Harry Bicket's eclectic, Baroque-centered program shows the many side of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

In der Reihe „Barock+“ dirigiert Martin Haselböck eine gemischte Tüte aus Bach, Cembalo und nach-romantischen Komponisten mit reichem Erbe.
