Pulsating new Andriessen at Holland Festival

Jenny Camilleri, 11th June

Louis Andriessen’s new opera is a masterly expedition into the grand and grotesque mind of Athanasius Kircher, polymath and fantastist, but it is hampered by a clumsy libretto.

It is excellent to have a giant's strength

Robert O'Connor, 10th September

Playing three 45-minute concerts in one afternoon is a herculean triumph. Even if done badly it is still a triumph. Mikhail Rudy did that and fortunately did it very well. The three concerts took place on Sept. 10 at King's Place as part of their festival. The theme of all three was the Russian literature, which is rich with colorful, majestic, exotic and challenging pieces.

Chloë Rouge, 10th April

Le compositeur et chef d'orchestre britannique enfilait ses deux casquettes dans un programme qui plaçait ses œuvres – dont la création française d'In Seven Days avec Bertrand Chamayou – en dialogue avec des partitions de Sibelius.
