Ein düsterer Don Giovanni beim Würzburger Mozartfest

Vivica Genaux joins Lawrence Zazzo in a concert of arias and duets by Handel and other Baroque composers.

Sigrid T'Hooft's witty Baroque styled *Parnasso in festa* at the Halle Handel Festival could hardly be better in any respect

The Lautten Compagney performed Handel's Rinaldo at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw enjoyably, though without sweeping the audience off its feet.

If Vienna is the holy temple of classical music (Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Strauss, Bruckner and Mahler all spent large tracts of their careers here), then the Musikverein is its holy of holies. Just soaking in all that history makes a visit here into a special occasion, and the heavily gilt halls are as opulent and redolent of empire as you might imagine.

Zum 250. Jahrestag der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung erinnert diese Künstlerverbindung mit Coming Home with Music an einen universalen, berührenden Freiheitsbogen, der die Magnetwirkung für Heimat zeichnet.
