En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Symphonie no. 3 « Le Chant de la Nuit », pour ténor choeur et orchestre, Op.27

Con la directora invitada Simone Young, la Orquesta y Coro Nacionales vibraron en un programa bipartito, del que se destiló un intenso sentido dramático.

Sakari Oramo presents a pair of Polish symphonies by Bacewicz and Szymanowski, interrupted by Mozart's Sinfonia concertante, but the evening struggles to take off.

Thomas Søndergård made his BBC Proms debut at the end of a successful first season at the helm of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, bringing a hefty programme of Stenhammar, Szymanowski and Strauss to the Royal Albert Hall.It was a fascinating programme, with a first half of relatively underperformed works prefacing Strauss’ popular Alpine Symphony.

The Salle Pleyel’s programmatic dichotomy between “memory” and “creation” continually seeks to promote the more established names in classical music, whilst also shedding light on lesser-known repertoires from all musical epochs.

Every now and then I like to experiment. Reviewing a concert in which I know none of the music can be frightening, but also exciting and – always – surprising. Thus I was slightly apprehensive but wholly enthusiastic about attending this LSO concert featuring works unknown to me by Bartók and Szymanowski.
