En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Kristjan Järvi

L’alliance d’Arvo Pärt et de Dhafer Youssef peut paraître surprenante, et en effet, le fil conducteur de ce programme au Barbican est plutôt frêle. Oui, il est admirable que le maestro Kristjan Järvi privilégie la musique du monde; oui, il est bien possible de dresser un lien abstrait, aussi ténu soit-il, entre la spiritualité de l’estonien Pärt et du tunisien Youssef.

Babylon Berlin comes to the Pärnu Music Festival, as Kristjan Järvi and the Baltic Sea Philharmonic perform an explosive celebration of music from the TV series. 

As an experience, this was quite something, with the music almost secondary and emotions carrying the day. The term minimalist could only be used to describe the rhythmic patterns.

Kristjan Järvi conducts the Brussels Philharmonic and the Vlaams Radiokoor in a programme of Arvo Pärt's music. 

Eleven conductors get to strut their stuff in an eclectic programme in Pärnu. 

Mit „Midnight Sun” präsentiert die Baltic Sea Philharmonic ein spezielles Konzertkonzept, bei dem die Werke nicht einfach hintereinander gespielt wurden.

The LSO served up a lively programme of genre-defying UK premières at the Barbican. 

Die Baltic Sea Philharmonic bringt mit ihrem Programm baltischer Komponisten den Puls des Nordens in den Münchner Herkulessaal.

Händels und Glass' Wassermusiken werden unter Kristjan Järvis Händen zu multimedialer Reverenz an das Lebenselixier Wasser

Three concerts over one day at the opening weekend of Bachfest Leipzig combined Bach’s music with that of composers from Rachmaninov to Sibelius, but nothing matches the unrivalled bliss of Bach’s own music performed with total conviction.

Leopold Tobisch's future expectations have been raised to a dizzying high by Kristjan Järvi and the Baltic Sea Youth Philharmonic at the Theatre des Champs Elysées.

A rich variety of works by Steve Reich form an enthralling concert from Kristjan Järvi and the MDR Rundfunk orchestra at the Salle Pleyel.

Anoushka Shankar and the RSNO under Kristjan Järvi delight with complementary takes on 'the East' – Arvo Pärt and Ravi Shankar at Edinburgh's Usher Hall.

For a composer who embraces the “popular” in music, using the subtitle High Art for his trumpet concerto is clearly a provocative but bold statement. Australian composer Graham Koehne has quoted Noël Coward’s play Private Lives, commenting: “Extraordinary how potent cheap music is”.

Kristjan Järvi cuts quite a dash on the podium, youthful, exuberant and full of energy, all adjectives that could be applied to the music in last night's Barbican crossover gig by the LSO, entitled "Balkan Fever".

Leonard Bernstein’s Mass is massive. And massively odd. I thought I had prepared myself for what was in store before this piece’s Proms debut on Monday, but actually I hadn’t.

Steve Reich has been a Barbican mainstay of 2011. In his 75th birthday year, the composer’s significant influence on contemporary classical music was honoured with the Reverberations Festival in May.

First published in 1759, Voltaire’s Candide was re-imagined for the concert stage by Leonard Bernstein in 1956. An operetta whose aim was to mock the belief that everything—literally, everything—is for the best, Candide was an ideal medium through which to critique the excesses of McCarthyism and the complacency of the Eisenhower administration in 1950’s US politics.
