An eclectic evening of vividly communicative music-making in Gloucester Cathedral, superbly directed by Adrian Partington. 

Trevor Wilson conducts Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Copland and Wijeratne in the TSO's tour of a century of tonalism.

Carlos Mena y la Sinfónica de Galicia interpretaron una brillante Tercera sinfonía de Louise Farrenc.

A concert programme that includes both Holst and Vaughan Williams is as right as strawberries and cream at Wimbledon. 

Elder and Elgar prove to be a winning cominbation at the Chicago Symphony.

Sometimes the small details make all the difference. They certainly did in this rendition by the CBSO and Steven Osborne under the baton of Andrew Manze that won you over with an unpretentious and all the more captivating performance.

For this Christmas concert we were transported from the Auckland Philharmonia’s usual venue at the Auckland Town Hall to the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell. It was interesting to compare the sound of the orchestra; the cathedral has a slight echo that seemed to boost the richness of the orchestra’s sound, at times (like at the climax of Bizet’s Farandole) becoming almost shockingly loud.

Frank Bridge, his pupil Benjamin Britten, and Ralph Vaughan Williams: three composers defined by their role in steering English music into the twentieth century. With Britten’s centenary approaching in 2013, Kings Place’s two-concert series of English string music was a timely reminder of the musical imagination that flourished in this country at the turn of the twentieth century.
