Performer: Bertrand Chamayou

The Paris-based Quatuor Modigliani are joined by special guests for an evening of Schubert quintets in Évian-les-Bains. 

Herreweghe’s lifelong artistry of concentration, clarity and intimacy was nowhere better demonstrated than in an exalted account of Mozart's last symphony. 

To works by Mendelssohn and Schumann, Søndergård added music by two impressive female composers who died far too young and whose works are far less known than they should be, Lili Boulanger and Morfydd Owen. 

Semyon Bychkov lead the New York Philharmonic in an outstanding rendition of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony.

Drama and poetry prevailed in Chamayou exhausting programme.
