Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op.61: Scherzo

A recital of two halves for the Moscow-born pianist in her long overdue Carnegie Hall debut. 

Had the piece been much longer, pianist, instrument, audience and hall would surely have been consumed by some Pentecostal fire. Which is more or less what the composer had in mind.

Concluding Gardiner's Schumann cycle, it was a memorable concert, with a memorable Spring Symphony and a musical Manfred Overture. The Beethoven first piano concerto proved an unlikely hero.

A memorable evening: LSO horns on tremendous form with Sir John Eliot Gardiner on the podium and Isabelle Faust in stellar performance.

An anniversary gala concert with historic references worth the hype.

Conducting the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and accompanying Isabelle Faust in Mozart's G major concerto, Bernard Haitink stresses classical proportions in two symphonies by Mozart and Schumann.

Ein nicht alltägliches Programm, ein origineller Interpretationsansatz und verschwenderische Zugaben begeistern das Publikum in der Tonhalle Zürich.

Au Festival de Menton, Boris Berezovsky a offert un récital époustouflant de virtuosité et de sensibilité, où Scriabine répondait à Rachmaninov.

Haitink gab dem Englischhorn Gelegenheit die Kantilenen aufblühen zu lassen, während Gerhaher seinen allzu kurzen Auftritt in leisesten Tönen – Eindringlichkeit im sotto voce – jenseitig und immens berührend beschloss.
