Killer concerto, life-affirming symphony at the Barbican
Two powerful, virtually contemporaneous statements from Prokofiev and Nielsen: Denis Kozhukhin is a commanding soloist in the concerto and Jukka-Pekka Saraste with the BBC SO convincingly ride the waves of the symphony.
Lost worlds: Silvestrov and Sibelius with Saraste and the LPO
Two powerful symphonic statements by a Ukrainian and a Finnish composer flanking a calm and courtly concerto by Mozart: Jukka-Pekka Saraste and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, together with the American pianist Richard Goode.
Old works and new from Jukka-Pekka Saraste and the RSPO
An intriguing programming of old and new works, covering the time period 1893 to 1976, which themselves contain elements of old and new, beautifully performed.
Lear in Munich: brilliant performance, but lifelessly staged
A superb cast of singers is let down by Christoph Marthaler's cold, stilted staging as Reimann's Lear returns to its birthplace.
Refined Elgar from Katarina Karnéus and the RSPO
Katarina Karnéus displayed sovereign English diction, elegant musicianship and a sense of dramatic scale in Sea Pictures.
Pandemic programming: Shostakovich and Sibelius in Gothenburg
Saraste’s mastery in Sibelius is hardly a surprise, and neither is the calibre of the orchestra Sibelius himself often visited to conduct.
