The Giocoso’s Enescu and Il Giardino Armonico’s Beethoven bookend an exhilarating day of rarities and classics.

Giovanni Antonini's colorful work with the Czech Philharmonic brightens a fervent performance by Magdalena Kožená.

All good things must come to end, but Manchester Camerata's Mozart piano concerto cycle did so in exceptional style in Stoller Hall.

André Cebrián dazzles as the flute soloist in a Mozart concerto, but Joana Carneiro's conducting only intermittently draws magic from the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
