En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Concerto for coloratura soprano and orchestra, Op.82

Kirill Karabits leads the CBSO in an evening exploring Romeo and Juliet that shies away from real tragedy in favour of having fun. 

Die berühmte Sopranistin wagte sich an die Ränder ihres Repertoires, die Wagner-Dirigentin legte mit Tschaikowskys Fünfter eine dramatisch inspirierte Interpretation hin.

Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Philharmonia Orchestra excelled in a fascinating exploration of post-revolutionary Russian music under the banner ‘Workers and the State’.

Each year, BBC Proms provides a great opportunity for the UK regional orchestras (in particular for the non-BBC orchestras such as the Bournemouth Symphony, the Halle and the Liverpool Philharmonic) to showcase themselves. This year, I decided to sample Kirill Karabits and the Bournemouth Symphony as I have been hearing good things about this partnership for a while.
