Performer: Amanda Forsyth

New music, old friends and supercharged Strauss from the Estonian Festival Orchestra.

Assured and mostly rewarding performances from the RPO in standard fare that underlined Bruch’s nobility, Elgar’s masterly orchestration and the originality of Sibelius. 

Despite some briliant orchestral playing and orchestral warhorses, Pinchas Zukerman's wooden conducting style made for an unmemorable evening at Cadogan Hall. 

On his current Australian tour, the indefatigable Pinchas Zukerman seems to cherish playing a different programme in every venue. He appeared with his own chamber ensemble, the Zukerman Trio in Sydney, partnered with two Canadian musicians, Amanda Forsyth (cello), and Angela Cheng (piano).

El reconocido solista, junto a su igualmente virtuosa pareja brillaron a la par que la orquesta chilena en una colaboración equilibrada, y una oferta musical contundente.
