Performer: Edo de Waart

De Waart once again showed a formidable grasp of the musical structure so that the occasional outbursts of violence made thematic sense and a strong feeling of tension led up to the final cry of despair.

Edo de Waart and the NZSO thrill with the old warhorse that is Schubert's ninth as much as in an insightful and exciting rendition of Salonen's Violin Concerto.

This was astonishing and gripping vocalism from a true master of Berlioz style.

The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra make Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony sound like new, while Alice Sara Ott’s joy in playing Mozart is palpable.  

Maestro Edo de Waart and violinist Augustin Hadelich team up to provide a spectacular performance of Shostakovich.

An able interpreter of the Romantic repertoire, Emanuel Ax has an innate elegance of tone and gesture that make him an ideal interpreter of Mozart's D minor Concerto.
