En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Concerto pour violon no. 1, Op. 35

L'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France accueillait le chef russe Vasily Petrenko et la violoniste Baiba Skride pour un superbe voyage dans les ténèbres de Szymanowski et de Mahler.

At the helm of a highly responsive Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Robert Trevino led commanding performances of two Russian symphonies and a forthright account of Szymanowski's First Violin Concerto.

Lisa Batiashvili and the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andris Nelsons offer an adventurous program of works leaving a lasting impression.

Leticia Moreno deleita, con un manejo extraordinario de su instrumento, al interpretar con pasión a Szymanowski, en un programa que incluye obras de Mahler y de Zemlinsky.

Festive Janáček and energetically fresh Sibelius from Rattle and the LSO, with impressive focus and intensity from Janine Jansen in Szymanowski's sensuous Violin Concerto no. 1.

In ihrem Abonnementkonzert gibt die Staatskapelle Berlin unter Barenboim mit Lisa Batiashvili Rossini, Szymanowski und Tschaikowsky zum besten.

Juraj Valčuha’s CSO debut was an evening of diverse repertoire, from Haydn to Strauss (both Johann II and Richard) to Szymanowski, the latter featuring a memorable performance by Christian Tetzlaff.

Petrenko and the RLPO tackle familiar Berlioz and unfamiliar Kodály and Szymanowski.  

A dream come true - Nicola Benedetti, Vladimir Jurowski and the LPO find every corner of a bold programme of Debussy, Szymanowski and Bartok to open their new season at the RFH.

A stunning work by Esa-Pekka Salonen, a dream landscape by Karol Szymanowski and a monumental tone poem by Richard Strauss recently made for a rich offering in Zurich.

A fine account of the Szymanowski Violin Concerto no. 1 from Nicola Benedetti lights up a concert in which the LSO are on top form and young conductor Krysztof Urbanski impresses.

Although Vasily Petrenko only gave his first concert as chief conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra last week, Monday’s Prom heralded this as an exciting new partnership. In a programme built around dreams and fantasy, Petrenko led the orchestra through some fantastic performances, with their Tchaikovsky especially praiseworthy.

The current flagship project of the London Symphony Orchestra is to take on tour a series of concerts, under their Principal Conductor, which unite the symphonies and other major works of Brahms and Szymanowski. It is bold and imaginative, while remaining accessible and appealing.

Zoltán Kodály was an ethnomusicographer as much as a composer: he studied the folk music of Hungary, and this influence can be heard in most of his works. Dances of Galánta is no exception, yet it is so much more than folk melodies arranged for an orchestra.
