Performer: James Platt

Alpine mountains and streams set the scene for an illuminating production of Wagner's 'play to consecrate a stage'. 

A visually delightful revival of Barbe & Doucet's action-packed Zauberflöte at Glyndebourne, with strong vocal performances throughout. 

Ryan Bancroft and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales give an extraordinary, terrifying account of Shostakovich’s Thirteenth Symphony, preceded by a Classical-Romantic tussle in Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto.
