Fleet fingers and sound showers: Noriko Ogawa at the Wigmore Hall

In a programme of mostly tasty morsels, Fabien Gabel and the BBCSO found a freshness and rhythmic vitality that made for a most enjoyable evening.

Andrew Gourlay conducts the BBC Philharmonic in piano concertos by Ravel and Rachmaninov, with Noriko Ogawa, Martin Roscoe, Kathryn Stott and Martin Roscoe taking turns at the keyboard.

There was a noticeable difference in the audience who had come to this Prom from those who had attended the rather more serious Proms in the preceding week: colourful clothing. Gone were the sombre suits; in came casual summer dress in every imaginable colour under the sun.

What a concert – the programme and the musicans were sublime. This time, Colston Hall got it spot on with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. Seeing all of the credits for the orchestra in the back of the programme prepared me for a big and bold sound that was just short of 100 musicians. Each and every one of them contributed to a fantastic sound under the baton of Jacek Kaspszyk.

Pour ce troisième volet du Ring proposé en version de concert par Yannick Nézet-Séguin et l'Orchestre philharmonique de Rotterdam, c'est le plateau vocal qui brille avant tout, éclipsant l'orchestre et le chef.

Pour ouvrir la 30e édition de la manifestation deauvillaise, le violoniste et chef du Concert de la Loge a proposé un excellent triptyque Bach-Telemann-Pergolèse qui faisait allusion à des souvenirs normands.
