Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Mystère de l'Instant, for cymbalum, string orchestra and percussion

Thomas Hengelbrock and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra open Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie concert-hall with a traversal of music through the ages, from a Renaissance motet to Wolfgang Rihm's latest work.

Beethoven, Mozart, Angela Hewitt are all much loved names in the world of classical music. The promise of a Mozart piano concerto played by Angela Hewitt and a Beethoven symphony is enough to whet any music lover’s appetite. However, as in so many Sydney Symphony concerts, there was another work thrown in, which one could have been forgiven for glossing over in the evening’s publicity.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, NDR Chor und der Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks brillieren unter Hengelbrock mit Mendelssohns Lobgesang in der frisch eröffneten Hamburger Elbphilharmonie.

A l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance de Dutilleux, le chef Pascal Rophé et le chorégraphe Robert Swinston collaborent dans un projet original de ballets sur des oeuvres du compositeur. Si l'orchestre est remarquable, la chorégraphie laisse le spectateur sur sa faim.
