A game of three halves from the Britten Sinfonia, with a late appearance by three star soloists.

A conductorless performance of Handel's masterpiece lights up the Barbican.

Clyne, Ligeti and Pärt sit down with Bach and Scarlatti for a spot of lunch!

A clever programme of mid-20th century American music by Carter, Copland and contemporaries, watered down with a light sprinkling of Arlen and Gershwin.

A superb lunch time concert by the Britten Sinfonia players which included outstanding performances of works by Debussy, Fauré and a newly commissioned work titled "Light and Matter” by the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho. 

The Britten Sinfonia's tribute to Mozart fell somewhat flat, with only hauntingly beautiful Kurtág able to somewhat redeem passionless performances of Adams and Tavener.
