Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Double Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra

Fabien Gabel showcases his French music bona fides, while Katia and Marielle Labèque offer a trademark Philip Glass concerto with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. 

A satisfying performance overall with many rousing moments but not without its instances of missed opportunity.

To celebrate Philip Glass’s 80th birthday the BBC honoured him with one their invaluable Total Immersion days, of which this concert with the BBCSO conducted by Marin Alsop was the climax.

La OCNE, de la mano de Dennis Russell Davies y Katia y Marie Labèque, comienza el ciclo de conciertos dedicados al compositor neoyorquino.

N’en déplaise aux sœurs Labèque, Jaap Van Zweden était indiscutablement la star de cette soirée. En regard d’une 5ème Symphonie de Chostakovitch récurée, brillant de mille feux, la création programmée a pris un rude coup.
