A forced programme change by Hong Kong Sinfonietta proves beneficial, lightening up the evening with Mozart’s overture to Le nozze di Figaro before a pair of Beethoven works. 

A fiery rendition of Sibleius' Finlandia and an interesting account of Tchaikovsky's The Symphony of Life while Beethoven's Triple Concerto fails to convince. 

Bellincampi’s way with this symphony was impressive: he knitted the composer’s sometimes diffuse structural cells into something cohesive, with no loss of tension in the various silences and odd transitional moments.

There's a strong chance that the majority of the audience had never seen Louise Farrenc's Third Symphony before; conductor Laurence Equilbey made a strong case for repeat performances.

The amazing phenomenon that is Herbert Blomstedt leads the Gewandhausorchester from Leipzig in Beethoven's Triple Concerto and Bruckner's mighty Seventh.

The ever consummate conductor delivers a trio of stylistically contrasting works by Haydn, Beethoven and Nielsen with a single trait in common: obdurate perfectionism.

“Let me play the lion too.” I hadn’t associated Daniel Barenboim with Nick Bottom from A Midsummer Night’s Dream before, but during Beethoven’s Triple Concerto, I half expected him to leap from his piano stool and play the violin and cello parts too. 

Waiting for sunrise while listening to the Orchestra Filarmonica La Fenice, brilliantly conducted by Alvise Casellati, created an emotional effect in the audience

Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge is not a work often heard in concert halls but deserves to be performed more often, Hong Kong Sinfonietta conductor Yip Wing-sie said at the start of the concert last night at the City Hall. The orchestra’s rendering of this moving musical tribute vindicated her statement.

There are only a handful of composers whose music can provide enough variety to last a whole program. Beethoven is one of those composers. Not only that, but even today, some 200 years after his lifetime, his music continues to inspire, delight and challenge modern audiences. That is part of Beethoven’s enduring genius and legacy.The opening piece of the concert, the Grosse Fugue Op.

Surely, Michael Tippett must be considered the most important British composer of the mid 20th century, even if this might be an unfashionable thing to say in this Britten-filled centenary year. Certainly, the BBCSO’s brave performance of his Third Symphony was evidence of this in itself.Since his death in 1998 at the age of 93, performances of Tippett’s work have gone into sad decline.

Andris Nelsons marked the second instalment in the Birmingham Beethoven cycle with two works of the earliest years of the 19th century, featuring a solid account of the Eroica and a superb performance of the Triple Concerto.The Triple Concerto is a strange work.

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra made their Maison Symphonique debut tonight with a very apt program, which was eloquently introduced by Maestro Oundjian at first in eloquent French, but then with the aid of translations by the associate concertmaster. He explained a little about both 20th-century works on the program, Montréal native Pierre Mercure’s Tryptique and Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 12.

The night had a programme of three soloists, three pieces and three significant composers in music history – Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. The concept of the concert was to display a span of music from the high Classical era to the early Romantic, where each of the composers overlap in style through three generations.

C’est à une soirée beethovénienne que le public genevois fut convié, et malheureusement les entrées concertantes ne furent pas au niveau du plat de résistance… 

Le concert proposé par l’orchestre les Déconcertants et le trio Hélios fut un de ces concerts où la proximité physique, couplée à la spontanéité des musiciens, nous donne à entendre une musique brute, façonnée devant nous, qui s’impose et nous saisi, plus qu’elle ne se laisse entendre. 

Ein Konzert nur mit Beethoven: Nur auf den allerersten Blick mag das etwas nach Monokultur aussehen, den es standen sich mit dem Tripelkonzert und der Sechsten Symphonie zwei sehr unterschiedliche Werke gegenüber.

L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France propose un cycle Beethoven/Berg dirigé par Daniel Harding, entouré de quatre solistes de renom. La soirée du 9 janvier réunissait trois œuvres très belles mais difficiles : une performance honorable sans être exceptionnelle.
