L’impressionnante Quatrième Symphonie de Górecki se sera fait attendre. L’oeuvre fut achevée en 2006, mais il a fallu que ses enfants retrouvent une esquisse complète de partition des années plus tard pour qu’elle prenne vie, puisqu’à sa mort en 2010, le compositeur ne la jugeait pas encore prête.

Glyndebourne's new production of Lehár's greatest work is interpreted with his customary flair and fun by Cal McCrystal. 

Diane Paulus' staging is remarkably true to the original while making it feel like the work was written yesterday.

Vladimir Jurowski's six-year Ring with the LPO closes as the cycle began: a gleaming, golden ring with a black hole at its core. 

Seong-Jin Cho joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra for polished Beethoven before Edward Gardner continues his advocacy of Michael Tippett. 

There is a feast of inspiration for composers in the story of Romeo and Juliet, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev each responding differently. Randall Goosby provides an excellent contrast in Mozart’s musical sunshine.

Take a fine orchestra and an equally fine chorus, together with three contrasting soloists, and for content the greatest story ever: all the ingredients to bring alive Haydn's The Creation.

Canellakis and the LPO are in fighting form with Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, while Pablo Ferrández provides subtlety and sardonic bite in Shostakovich. 

The world premiere of Frncisco Coll's Cuidad sin Senũo (City That Never Sleeps) proves intriguing at the Royal Festival Hall.

Edward Gardner conducts the LPO in a shrewdly conceived programme of Ligeti and Strauss.

It's been in the Glyndebourne rep for almost fifty years, but John Cox's production, complete with Hockney's iconic set, remains timeless. Robin Ticciati's superb conducting and an excellent cast made this latest revival a complete success.

A strong revival cast, conducted by Dalia Stasevska, demonstrate why Sir Peter Hall's 1981 vintage staging of Britten’s A Midsummer Night's Dream is such a classic.
