Au programme de ce "concert de minuit" du festival Enescu : Misha Masky et la Philharmonie de chambre de Saint-Pétersbourg dans des pièces d'Enescu, Tchaïkovsky, Bruch et Mendelssohn. Concert assez mitigé, avec un orchestre qui manque de caractère et un violoncelliste qui malgré toutes ses qualités indéniables manque de justesse.
Le programme du concert de rentrée du Philar' semblait réglé comme du papier à musique. Dommage que la routine triomphe dans le Concerto, où Renaud Capuçon s’égare dans une gestuelle qui perd le public et oublie le compositeur.

Coupling a rare but underwhelming concerto by Max Bruch with Strauss's polychrome orchestral showpiece, the program with Semyon Bychkov and the sisters Labèque accentuated superlative musicianship.
Chen plays a fine solo part in Bruch and delights with his encore; Orozco-Estrada and the LPO provide some good moments but fall short of their best form.
The audience responded as if they were hearing the Symphony for the first time. They were overwhelmed and let the musicians know it. Good start to the home stand.
Assured and mostly rewarding performances from the RPO in standard fare that underlined Bruch’s nobility, Elgar’s masterly orchestration and the originality of Sibelius.
