Work: Clarinet Concerto in A major, K622

The Catalan conductor and his Concert des Nations bring an all-Mozart programme to the Berlin Philharmonie, with the help of the basset clarinet. 

The Israel Philharmonic’s debut at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie showcases Lahav Shani’s elegant precision, Martin Fröst’s vivid virtuosity and Paul Ben-Haim’s rare symphonic voice, culminating in radiant musical unity.

Rafael Payare, Anthony McGill and the New York Philharmonic create some extraordinary moments in the course of an overall uneven concert of Gubaidulina, Mozart and Tchaikovsky.
