En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | L'Arlésienne, Suite no. 2: Farandole

Après une première partie peu de circonstance, le Concert de Noël de l'Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France a bénéficié de la joie contagieuse de la contralto québécoise dans un répertoire très évocateur...

Martha Argerich returns to the Enescu Festival for one of the pillars of her repertory, Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto, in a buoyant performance. 

A bold programme from an orchestra with a bold sound as the ISO trails in the wake of Storm Ciara on its debut UK tour. 

With Alain Altinoglu at the podium, the programme of works by Beethoven, Ravel and Stravinsky showed off Levit's lightness and freshness and brought out the excitement of fairytales.

An enterprising programme combined a striking WWI commemoration from Mark-Anthony Turnage with sumptuous ballet suites from Prokofiev and Ravel, with Nikolaj Znaider rhapsodic in Bruch.

In an all French language opera progromme, Juan Diego Flórez shines in his Dublin leg of Tour l'Amour 

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.
