Alexander Hall, 25th May

Three aspects of fate were on display in this intriguing combination of the new, the less familiar and the unashamedly popular given by the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra under its chief conductor.

German Romanticism from Argerich, Cambreling and Symphoniker Hamburg

Alexander Hall, 21st November

The octogenarian phenomenon that is Martha Argerich still has something different to say about Schumann's Piano Concerto, while Sylvain Cambreling adopts a bright and breezy approach to Schubert's Ninth Symphony.

A pianist for all seasons: Argerich crowns festival with a debut

Mark Pullinger, 30th June

Martha Argerich gives a rare solo performance in the final programme of her festival, performing movements from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons for the very first time.

Catriona Morison joins Martha Argerich in outstanding performances

Martha Argerich brings magical Ravel to Hamburg

Chris Garlick, 19th February

A performance of Ravel's concerto to savour as a beacon of light and hope in these dark times.

*****

Argerich, Dutoit and Russian revelry in Hamburg

Alexander Hall, 28th June

Argerich is predictably a force of nature in Tchaikovsky and Dutoit shows his mettle in Ravel and Stravinsky.
