Work: Concerto in D minor (after A. Marcello), BWV974

Despite the disruption, the musicians of the MSO under Chief Conductor Jaime Martín continue their interesting programme of Sutherland, Dvořák and Tchaikovsky.

The Canadian chamber orchestra Les Violons du Roy, using baroque bows on metal strings at modern pitch, came to Walt Disney Concert Hall, backing Alexandre Tharaud on a big beautiful Steinway.

Despite forecasts of gales, there was a virtually full house at the Wigmore Hall for a lunchtime recital given by French pianist Alexandre Tharaud. The programme offered a tempting combination of a rarely-performed Bach keyboard concerto, Schubert’s much-loved Moments Musicaux, and Chopin’s Fantasy in F minor.
