Performer: Sabine Meyer

At Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, John Storgårds led the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in performances of Sibelius’ Rakastava, Nielsen’s iconic Clarinet Concerto and Shostakovich’s ground-breaking Fourth Symphony.

The Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne opens the Hong Kong Arts Festival with contrasting works, Mozart's reflective Clarinet Concerto and Strauss' monumental Alpine Symphony. 

Cornelius Meister has long been a champion of young Czech composer Miroslav Srnka, not only as chief conductor of the RSO Wien but also in Heidelberg, where he was Generalmusikdirektor from 2005 until earlier this year.

Man soll aufhören, wenn‘s am Besten ist. Gemäß dieser Maxime beendet Sabine Meyer ihre beeindruckende Karriere.
