Bach Unwrapped Finale: Mass in B minor

Julia Savage, 21st December

J S Bach's opus ultimum, the Mass in B Minor, was also the opus ultimum of the year-long Bach Unwrapped series at Kings Place. Unfortunately, it proved not to be the crowning glory it might have been.

Ambitious ACO production surveys 42,000 years of music

David Larkin, 24th May

Marketed under the tagline: “42,000 years of music – 213 works – 1 performance”, Timeline is a hyper-ambitious production. At times history lesson, at times creative mash-up, it was both a highly stimulating and a frustrating experience, with outstanding performances from the instrumentalists and singers.

L'élégance du Quatuor Tchalik dans Mozart au Collège des Bernardins

Jean-Pierre Rousseau, 11th May

Le quatuor familial a proposé un beau triptyque, révélateur du parcours du compositeur salzbourgeois dans le genre du quatuor à cordes.

Le piano immédiat de Marie-Ange Nguci à Radio France

Alain Lompech, 10th May

Dans un programme qui associait Beethoven, Ravel, Chopin, Liszt et Schumann, la pianiste a montré l'étendue de sa personnalité, pulvérisant les idées reçues.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja entraîne la Camerata Bern vers l’Est

Romain Daroles, 9th May

Où « Pat Kop » va-t-elle chercher tout cet imaginaire ? Dans un concert aux allures de bœuf virtuose entre amis, la violoniste et compositrice d'origine moldave a enchanté le public de sa ville d'adoption.

*****

Nobuyuki Tsujii et Klaus Mäkelä souverains à la Philharmonie

Alain Lompech, 5th May

Le pianiste japonais, le chef finlandais et l'Orchestre de Paris ont paru particulièrement soudés dans une interprétation de référence du Concerto de Grieg, avant une formidable Première Symphonie de Mahler.
