En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Alexandra Dariescu

Alexandra Dariescu makes a compelling Proms debut in Nadia Boulanger's unjustly neglected Fantaisie variée, which bridges late Romanticism and Impressionism.

Sakari Oramo continues to champion rare English repertoire, conducting Doreen Carwithen and Malcolm Arnold at the Barbican. 

Alpesh Chauhan presides over stylish accounts of Grieg and Sibelius and gives solid reasons why we should hear more performances of Sibelius' Third Symphony.  

A fantasy evening in Belle Époque Paris all the way from London's Southbank! 

James Gaffigan and the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus provide the climax to a worthy day of discovery at the Barbican.

A lot to commemorate but not all that much to celebrate in this concert given by the RPO with the twin Romanian combination of Cristian Mandeal and Alexandra Dăriescu.

The Hallé brings its Nottingham concert season to an end with a programme of popular French and Russian works.  

After a slightly disjoined start, the RPO delivered an ultimately satisfying concert with distinctive and involing intepretations of two Romantic warhorses. 

Conductor Andrew Gourlay and pianist Alexandra Dariescu perform Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Beethoven with Royal Northern Sinfonia, but the overall result is disappointing.

Raymond Gubbay Ltd loads the grey interregnum between Christmas and New Year at the Barbican with sundry spectacular delights, such as The Last Night of the Christmas Proms, The Sound of Musicals, Movie Music Classics, and building to the great climax of A Viennese New Year’s Eve Gala. In the midst of this extravaganza stands the Beethoven’s Ninth concert.
