En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Sonate pour violoncelle et piano en sol mineur, Op. 19

En contrepoint de l'exposition Morozov, Boris Berezovsky et Henri Demarquette présentent au public de la Fondation un Scriabine habité et un Rachmaninov précis, mais un peu froid.

Les deux musiciens ont offert un programme 100% russe, avec une magnifique sonate de Chostakovitch et une œuvre rarement jouée : les Variations sur un thème de Schubert de Denisov.

La Comédie française, la littérature et la philosophie unissent leurs forces avec celles de la musique pour une lecture et un concert franco-russe qui resteront dans les mémoires.

Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov is joined on stage at the Philharmonie by Alexander Rudin, Nadezhda Pavlova and Olga Pashchenko to give the audience a taste of Rachmaninov's chamber repertoire. 

A marathon chamber concert in Bantry ends in a glorious performance of Brahms String Sextet no. 2 in G major. 

With his more restrained approach and great variety of tone, Barnatan proved to be a great partner for the intense cellist.

A strangely intimate window into almost private chamber performances from the Kanneh-Mason siblings.

There was depth and intensity from Steven Isserlis and Alexander Melnikov in this intriguing programme of Russian cello sonatas from old hands and new brooms.

A splendid recital by Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan in King's Place's "Cello Unwrapped" series pays tribute to Russian cellist Anatoly Brandukov. 

Cristian Măcelaru brought his pedigree as a conductor to the CBSO with Sibelius, Rachmaninov and Nielsen. How would he fare in Birmingham with such a varied programme?

Having recently retired after a herniated disc weakened his bowing arm, Julian Lloyd Webber took to the stage last night at St George’s, Bristol as part of a tour he had created to tribute and reflect upon his performance career as one of the world’s leading cellists.

Beethoven started it, the piano’s duologue with the cello, in 1801, with his Seven Variations on “Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen” from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte. Beethoven himself, and many composers from Brahms (1862) through Lera Auerbach (2002) continued to ornament this form. In 1968, Jacqueline du Pré and Daniel Barenboim, with their recording of Brahms’ Cello Sonata no.

It is inevitable that one of the most beloved of orchestral instruments, the cello, will entice a diverse crowd of enthusiastic concertgoers – and that even in the midst of a recession, there prevails an inherent desire to depart from the self now and then for a ritualistic celebration of great music.

There can be few more civilized ways to spend a Monday lunchtime than at a concert at the delightful Wigmore Hall, where one can escape the bustle of Oxford Street for an hour of quality chamber music.

There is no better way to pass the lazy summer hours of a bank holiday Monday than to listen to Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott perform live classical music at the BBC Proms. Opening the performance at Caodgan Hall was the London première of Graham Fitkin’s L.

I greatly anticipated the New York debut concert of two new European stars, cellist Gautier Capuçon and pianist Gabriela Montero. Both are artists of great passion and intensity, and they chose a program of works that reflected their myriad gifts – one mid-20th century, one early Romantic, and the last, late Romantic in style.
