Work: Concerto for oboe and strings

At the Barbican, Cecilia Bartoli and Rolando Villazón entertained a festive audience in a concert of bel canto highlights, determined not to let a cold put a chill on the evening.

The Mozart and bel canto program that Cecilia Bartoli and Rolando Villazón have concocted for their European tour this December is so packed with greatest hits that it feels like a festive gift. 

Die Münchner Residenz Solisten ließen bei ihrem Neujahrskonzert in kammermusikalischen Arrangements bekannter Klassik sinfonischen Orchesterklang kaum vermissen.
