Performer: Le Concert des Nations

Beethoven's Christus am Ölberge is paired with Haydn's Die sieben letzten Worte, a journey from agony to transcendence in which the agony proves the more honest companion.

The Catalan conductor and his Concert des Nations bring an all-Mozart programme to the Berlin Philharmonie, with the help of the basset clarinet. 

The conducting of Jordi Savall thrills during the Ballet du Capitole's double bill of ballets by Gluck.

Jordi Savall explores the music of Maurice Ravel within the context of the French Baroque and beyond. 

While the semi-staging falters, Hanna-Elisabeth Müller and Magdalena Kožená prove a thrilling pair in Mozart's final opera seria. 

At the Salzburg Festival, Savall pairs two of Beethoven's most revolutionary symphonies in fiery performances. 

The Ernst von Siemens Music Prize recognises a lifetime of outstanding contributions to music, and will be presented to Savall at a ceremony in May.

Migros, one of Switzerland’s largest retailers, has been running a classical music concert series for more than 70 years, with low ticket prices designed to make music widely accessible.
