Performer: Philippe Herreweghe

Philippe Herreweghe conducts Marie-Elisabeth Hecker in Schumann’s Cello Concerto in this fine programme in the Concertgebouw Brugge. 

At this year's Musikfest Berlin, the Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe perform a programme inspired by Arcadia, in what could might as well be a pastoral concept album.

Despite distancing, the members of Collegium Vocale Gent filled the Queen Elisabeth Hall with an impressively cohesive sound, transparent and powerful at the same time. 

While Herreweghe’s approach wasn’t always a successful one, when it was the results were marvelous – particularly in the Jupiter Symphony and Isabelle Faust’s take on the Beethoven Violin Concerto.

Philippe Herreweghe reveals a crisp and precise Philharmonia in Schubert’s Fifth Symphony as Thomas Zehetmair provides reflection and breadth in Beethoven’s Violin Concerto.

There are multiple ways of approaching Bach's Mass in B minor, from the one-to-a-part advocated by Joshua Rifkin to a more conventional large choral approach, and everything in between.

With a huge programme including many of the biggest names in classical music, one might easily drown in the Palau de la Música’s new season. We chart its waters...

Barcelona’s dazzling modernista concert venue sees guest soloists and orchestras from across the world appear in this year’s season, with highlights almost too many to mention.

Rising in a distinctive terracotta above the medieval city of Bruges, the Concertgebouw presents a hugely multifaceted programme – and is driving new initiatives for decarbonisation and sustainability.
