Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Partita no. 3 in A minor, BWV827

Debussy provided a scintillating introduction to Hilary Hahn’s glorious rendering of Bruch’s Violin Concerto no. 1 in G minor and Prokofiev’s fiery Fifth Symphony. 

The best in music is revelation. Osmo Vänskä certainly provided revelation, bringing to the Melbourne Symphony a subtlety, power and musical originality that it has long lacked.

The Partitas are Bach's most grueling works for keyboard, but Koopman's accomplished interpretation brought them to life. 

András Schiff's Wigmore Hall concert of Bach's six Keyboard Partitas confirmed him as an artist working at the very top of his game.

Almost a year after it started, András Schiff’s Bach project in New York is finally coming to its conclusion. He began on the Upper East Side, at 92Y, with both books of The Well-Tempered Clavier. His performance of Book I, I wrote, was “of the highest quality and depth of thought”.

Dans un formidable récital intégralement consacré à Johann Sebastian Bach, le claveciniste est apparu tel qu'en lui-même, dégagé de l'ombre tutélaire de Gustav Leonhardt.

Loin de tous clichés affiliés respectivement à Bach et à Schubert, l’interprétation de Helmchen, habitée, sait faire résonner l’un chez l’autre. Tout en apposant sa signature aux pages visitées.
