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

Ton Koopman’s Elbphilharmonie debut brings warmth, wit and stylistic brilliance to Bach’s festive cantatas, in a radiant Early Music season finale that balances ceremonial splendour with vivid, human-scale musicianship.

At the Elbphilharmonie, Klaus Mäkelä and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra deliver masterful performances, showcasing technical precision and emotional depth across a diverse programme. 

Le Poème Harmonique undertakes musical time-travelling from regal Versailles to vibrant Venice, where divine harmonies collide with earthly celebrations. 

One of the glories of the German musical landscape are its radio orchestras. Up there with the finest, Vladimir Jurowski’s Berliners impress in Martinů and Shostakovich, while Christian Tetzlaff forays into Suk.

Rachmaninov and Prokofiev not only shared a first name. In their individual ways they helped define Russianness too. Anna Vinnitskaya, Juraj Valčuha and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester are here the exponents.
