Performer: Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester

Argerich shows her full artistry, while Europe's young musicians show impressive coordination and dynamics, if short of emotion in Beethoven 7.

Romeo Castellucci's intense production of Bartók's opera reaps its rewards in the performance under Teodor Currentzis, but Carl Orff's opera-oratorio De temporum fine comoedia feels little more than a drab filler. 

Bach in morbid mood and valedictory Bruckner brought to life by young musicians under the baton of Philippe Jordan
