En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Lautten Compagney

Die Eifersüchteleien und Ränkespiele sorgen bei der konzertanten Aufführung für eine dramatische Achterbahnfahrt, die ein Bühnenbild nicht vermissen lässt.

The Lautten Compagney performed Handel's Rinaldo at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw enjoyably, though without sweeping the audience off its feet.

If Vienna is the holy temple of classical music (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Bruckner and Mahler all spent large tracts of their careers here), then the Musikverein is its holy of holies. Just soaking in all that history makes a visit here into a special occasion, and the heavily gilt halls are as opulent and redolent of empire as you might imagine.
