En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Stewart Goodyear

Kristiina Poska makes a successful Toronto debut with solid Beethoven and some spicy Caribbean fireworks from Stewart Goodyear. 

A powerful enthusiasm for ideas links highly contrasting works by Ives, Gershwin, Zappa and George Lewis, in a thrilling evening conducted by Ilan Volkov.

Gemma New makes a positive impressive in the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra's lively rendition of the “Prague” Symphony. 

There is more common than meets the eye to the three works on the programme by the St Louis Symphony Orchestra in the Powell Hall on Saturday night. The rhythmic diversity in each challenges the unity of the orchestra to the extreme.

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra kicked off their new year with the Mozart@256 Festival. Thursday night’s concert warmly welcomed guest conductor and pianist Leon Fleisher, as well as pianists Stewart Goodyear and Katherine Jacobson Fleisher. Leon Fleisher, at 83 years of age, continues to wow audiences around the world as a conductor, soloist, recitalist, chamber musician and masterclass mentor.
