En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Peter Donohoe

Betsy Jolas delivers a farewell gift – at 96, her own final orchestral work – to Sir Simon Rattle on the occasion of his final Barbican concerts as the LSO's Music Director. 

Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO reaffirm their credentials in Shostakovich, while Peter Donohoe gives a rare performance of John Foulds' piano concerto.

An intelligently planned and generous programme featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Andrés Orozco-Estrada and Peter Donohoe in two neo-classical works by Stravinsky paired with two German Romantic works.

Understated mastery in Peter Donohoe’s recital of Scriabin, Ravel, Schumann, Mozart and Schubert in Hall One Sage Gateshead.

Alexander Dmitriev and the St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra paraded passionate and colourful Tchaikovsky, while the masterful Peter Donohoe gave a potent and intricate Rachmaninov.

This was an unmissable evening in which Prokofiev’s formidable “War” sonatas were given a rare and unforgettable outing – all three at a single sitting.  

Pounding the 26 miles from Greenwich Park to The Mall wasn't the only marathon in London today. At Milton Court, Peter Donohoe ran his own marathon, tackling all ten sonatas by Alexander Scriabin.

Leeds Festival and Leeds Philharmonic Choir joined the BBC Philharmonic in a splendid performance of Walton's Belshazzar's Feast.

Andrew Gourlay conducts the BBC Philharmonic in piano concertos by Ravel and Rachmaninov, with Noriko Ogawa, Martin Roscoe, Kathryn Stott and Martin Roscoe taking turns at the keyboard.

Peter Donohoe and Benjamin Frith (standing in for Peter Hill) performed Messiaen's Visions de l'Amen with intensity, clarity and profound musical understanding.

Rattle's return found the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in glorious form for this performance of two popular masterpieces.

Elder statesman of British pianism and soloist of international renown, Peter Donohoe gave a richly varied and, at times, highly emotional recital as part of the Southbank Centre’s ongoing International Piano Series, featuring music by Debussy, Liszt, Brahms and Bartok.

Rarely have I seen a conductor so excited! On completion of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, Michael Seal looked like the cat that got the cream – and rightly so. He had just launched his audience into this concert with a terrific bang.

A show of “all our favourite people”. Violinist Matthew Trusler's description of the charity concert organised by himself and his wife Maya Koch refers to his and Koch’s favourite people; however he could very well have meant his audience’s or even the concert-going public.
