Frozen haze from Radu Lupu in a wintry New York

Radu Lupu produces Mozart so sublime as to delight the angels, Saraste and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra give us a lesson in poise, balance and blended sound.

Radu Lupu provides a rare opportunity to see a legend at work, in recital at the Concertgebouw. 

At 71, Radu Lupu continues to amaze. No one gets so much out of a piano with such a light touch and minimum of effort. 

It's not plain-sailing in Lupu's Beethoven, but Järvi's clear-sighted and controlled approach and the Staatskapelle's high-quality playing make for especially musical Shostakovich after the interval. 

The announcement of this concert, bringing together Daniel Barenboim, Radu Lupu and the Berlin Staatskapelle, brought a capacity crowd to Salle Pleyel
