En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Sigvards Kļava

La célèbre phalange a proposé une interprétation magistrale du chef-d'œuvre de Rachmaninov, donnant dans la transparence et la précision plus que dans le sombre mystère.

Dans la basilique de Vézelay, le fameux ensemble letton a proposé un diptyque Bruckner-Tchaïkovski contrasté et concentré sous la direction de Sigvards Kļava.

Tombé dans l'obscurité après sa création posthume en 1893, le festival de Montpellier rend un bel hommage à l’œuvre inachevée et exotique de Delibes.

The Latvian Radio Choir's 24 singers display exceptional virtuosity in the service of a varied programme of contemporary spiritual works.

The Latvian Radio Choir, coupled with the Sinfonietta Rīga Orchestra under the conductor Sigvards Kļava give an ethereal rendition of four contemporary Latvian composers in Riga Cathedral.

Powerfully committed and expert singing from the Latvian Radio Choir under Sigvards Kļava, paired with thoughtful and calm playing from Alexander Melnikov in two highly contrasting works by Shostakovich.

Rachmaninov was not an especially religious man, yet he composed religious music, most famously the haunting All-Night Vigil (or Vespers) which was the climax to this evening's two Proms. 

A bird's-eye view of Gustavo Dudamel's opening concert in the LA Phil's Mozart-Pärt cycle.

LRC give a sublime rendition of Rachmaninov's All Night Vigil and astound with surreal vocal effects in the contemporary music of the second half. 

Where lies the boundary between musical performance and performance art? With more and more musicians choosing to incorporate digital or multimedia elements into their performances, concerts are increasingly defying easy categorisation.

For this concert Sigvards Kļava, chief conductor and artistic leader of the Latvian Radio Choir, worked as a guest conductor for the Dutch choir Capella Amsterdam. Modern and contemporary classical music play a significant, but not exclusive, role in the repertoires of both choirs.
