Cédric Tiberghien brings his vast touch to French recital in Chicago

Alina Ibragimova and friends join forces at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in two powerful chamber works composed at the height of the Second World War. 

Anastasia Kobekina and Cedric Tiberghien treat Wigmore Hall to a night of flair, flitting between their two homelands. 

Richard Strauss, self-styled "first-class second-rate" composer, has been having a moment in London with several tone poems on show.

From the tragically short-lived Guillaume Lekeu to Ernest Chausson's big-boned Concert via Debussy's sole string quartet, a tremendous evening at Wigmore Hall. 

Cédric Tiberghien and Carlos Kalmar dispel the gloom with performances to delight the ear. 

Powerfully communicated accounts of early 20th century, Gallic-permeated music combining the familiar with the rarely heard.
