En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Quatuor à cordes no. 1, Op.25

Die jungen Musikerinnen und Musiker, die sich am Davos Festival präsentieren, sind noch nicht in aller Leute Mund und haben noch keine Starallüren. Eines dieser Ensembles ist das Barbican Quartet.

The program was annotated by the actor Sagine Valla, delivering lines from the composer's published letters, diaries and other texts. It grew intrusive at times, but when given a chance, the ensemble played beautifully.

Six concerts of Suffolk’s finest home-grown produce garnished with side orders of Mozart, Copland and Elgar.

Ian Bostridge's exploration of Britten and Tippett song cycles is overshadowed by a fantastic string quartet in a mixed programme at Aldeburgh.

The classy Elias String Quartet brighten the morning with enjoyable Haydn and Mendelssohn, but Britten doesn't sit quite right. 

Each time I hear the Takács Quartet in concert a new excellence comes through: this time it is their gentleness. Schubert’s String Quartet in A minor, “Rosamunde” is allowed to unfold gently, as the petals of a rose open themselves.
