Performer: Orchestre National de Lille

Kornél Mundruczó brings the characters to life in Janáček’s drama of eternal youth; the brilliance of Dennis Russell Davies and the Orchestre National de Lille come close to overwhelming the proceedings.

New Chief Conductor Joshua Weilerstein brings the ONL to Amsterdam's Concertgebouw for a programme including Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique and Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, featuring Edgar Moreau. 

After eight years, Music Director Alexandre Bloch conducts Brahms in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, with Noa Wildschut at the soloist in Bruch's First Violin Concerto. 

Ahead of the Orchestre National de Lille's 2019–20 season, music director Alexandre Bloch tells us about his orchestra's qualities and why he's taking French repertoire to the UK.
