Dans un programme remarquablement construit en forme d'hommages en série, le jeune pianiste a fait montre d'un toucher subtil et d'une belle maîtrise de langages riches et variés.

Dans un formidable récital intégralement consacré à Johann Sebastian Bach, le claveciniste est apparu tel qu'en lui-même, dégagé de l'ombre tutélaire de Gustav Leonhardt.

Retour sur le week-end de clôture du Festival Présences 2023, qui présentait de très belles créations d'Unsuk Chin mais aussi une œuvre monumentale de Yann Robin...

Curieux programme pour le Philhar' : de Rameau, Bach, Mendelssohn et Stravinsky, c'est ce dernier qu'on retiendra. Au violon, Vilde Frang déploie une énergie phénoménale, soutenue par un orchestre enthousiaste.

L'Orchestre de Chambre d'Europe et András Schiff se retrouvent à la Philharmonie autour de la Musique pour cordes, percussions et célesta de Bartók et du Concerto pour piano n°2 de Brahms. Un orchestre excellent, mais un pianiste qui semble avoir mal choisi son concerto.

Energetic commitment from the ACO at the Barbican, with precision and edge from Alexander Melnikov and Jeroen Berwaerts in an evening of darkness and light.

Limpísimos agudos que cortaban el aire, pizzicati precisos y resonantes y un fraseo refinado, convirtieron la escucha de estas piezas en el equivalente a encapsular una sinfonía mahleriana en diez minutos de música.

The Scottish Ensemble on lively form is joined by exciting Venezuelan pianist Gabriela Montero to explore the links and influences of Bach and Mozart on modern South American composers.  

Size mattered in this programme, whether in the form of piano originals filled out to orchestral proportions, or Romantic reach reined in by Classical sensibility. The evening’s opening gesture was down to one man, Ian White, whose muted trombone ushered in Webern’s orchestration of the Ricercar from Bach’s 1747 Musical Offering.

The energetic Holland Baroque Society presented a lively program juxtaposing works of Johann Joseph Fux and Johann Sebastian Bach this week. Evident from the start was the group’s overarching enthusiasm and passion for this particular repertoire. The atmosphere reflected the musicians onstage, full of youth and infused with a breath of new life.
