Bon sang ! Mais pourquoi n'entend-on quasi plus jamais Le Tricorne, tout comme L'Amour sorcier de Manuel de Falla, d'ailleurs ?

Difficile de reprocher à cette entrée en matière une quelconque prévisibilité. Loin des passages obligés, du « grand » répertoire et des pages viennoises auxquelles s’attelle plus volontiers le Philharmonique en ce mouvementé début de saison, l’ONF se restreint avec ce concert d’ouverture à la musique française.

Tired of looking at the same wallpaper all the time? The London Philharmonic and their conductor Edward Gardner, together with soloist Stephen Hough, offer one way to see (part of) the world.

Das Gürzenich-Orchesters rückt nicht nur das Komponistenbild zurecht, sondern generiert in packender Wiedergabe neue Fans für Saint-Saëns' Musik.

Charles Dutoit, still sporting his trademark slick of black hair and a 79-year-old whirlwind of francophone charisma, clearly brings this band's playing to a new level, especially when the repertoire happens to be French and Russian music of the 20th century.

Vladimir Jurowski led the London Philharmonic Orchestra on a musical trip around Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
