Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Romance in F minor, Op.11

Embraced by Daniel Harding, Ian Bostridge, Christian Tetzlaff, Alban Gerhardt and Paul Lewis, the Parisian ensemble gives an exceptional concert, faithful to Lars Vogt’s way of making music.

Mendelsohn's Italian Symphony is a perenial and popular favourite, but perhaps one with which we are over-familiar. Could young Alpesh Chauhan do something fresh with it?

Anne-Sophie Mutter impresses Sydney in Dvořák and Beethoven, before a less magnetic “Eroica”. 

When you go to see a student orchestra play a concert, your expectations are generally lower than with professional orchestras. And so, when the Symfonieorkest of the Amsterdam Conservatory and soloists from the same Conservatory came to Leiden with an exciting program of Ravel, Prokofiev, Dvořák and Janáček, I thought it’d be a fun night, but not necessarily impressive.

La Moldau dirigée par Xian Zhang n’est pas une croisière tranquille où l’on prendrait à loisir des photos de paysages ; c’est un torrent joyeux qui nous emporte et nous charrie de tableaux en tableaux.

Un concert dont la diversité des genres musicaux inscrits au programme est assez stupéfiante, de Haydn et Beethoven à Queen.
