Performer: Juanjo Mena

At the threshold of seventy, Yo-Yo Ma still a box office dream, plays Dvořák with the Singapore Symphony. 

At the Philharmonie, an all-French programme conducted by Juanjo Mena takes the audience back to the vibrant Parisian scene of the 1910s and 20s. 

Juanjo Mena and the orchestra of Spain’s powerhouse opera company presents a gala concert, featuring Manuel de Falla's El amor brujo at its centre. 

Juanjo Mena conducts a programme entirely dedicated to Spanish music, including zarzuelas and popular scores by Manuel de Falla.

It is always good to hear the command of the viola that Lawrence Power demonstrates, but a one-dimensional approach to a Bruckner symphony short-changes the composer.

An intriguing programme of Britten, Walton, Barber and Copland provided dynamism, evocative imagery and new discoveries in Juanjo Mena’s valedictory concert with the BBC Philharmonic.
