Outstanding Beethoven, disappointing Berg from the LSO
With fabulous solo singing from Pavol Breslik and Elsa Dreisig, Beethoven's only oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives turns out to be a gem. Sadly, the Berg Violin Concerto misses the mark.
Passion week begins in Vienna with Beethoven's Christus am Ölberge

L'Ange et le Séraphin : Sir Simon Rattle et le LSO à la Philharmonie
