Prom 3: An inflated Prom to celebrate BBC Young Musicians
With a smaller programme and a humbler premise, the stars of the show – those young, immensely talented performers – could have shone even brighter
Ibragimova thrills in splendid Bantry closer
Those concertgoers who tore themselves away from the beach could watch the glorious sunlight fade to dusk through the Bantry House Library's huge windows.
A fascinating offering of chamber music at Bantry House in Cork
An energetic Kodály and a convincing Bacewicz String Quartet no. 4 made for a satisfying first half, while the Quatuor Danel delivered a wonderful rendition of Beethoven’s Op.59 no. 1.
Shostakovich, Brahms and Simon Holt in Birmingham
Alisa Weilerstein delivered an amazingly raw performance of Shostakovich’s Second Cello Concerto, whereas Ilan Volkov and the CBSO’s renditions of Simon Holt and Brahms (reimagined by Schoenberg) proved alienating and overblown.
Up close and personal at the Arnold Schönberg Center in Vienna
A gorgeous programme of Wagner, Strauss and Schoenberg and fragments in sextet arrangements
Life and death in Istanbul: Maisky family trio
Youthful Mahler, earth-shattering Shostatovich and life-affirming Schumann, played by The Maisky Trio and Maxim Rysanov at the Istanbul Music Festival.
