Work: The Musical Offering, BWV1079: Ricercar a 6

Energetic commitment from the ACO at the Barbican, with precision and edge from Alexander Melnikov and Jeroen Berwaerts in an evening of darkness and light.

It is always good to hear the command of the viola that Lawrence Power demonstrates, but a one-dimensional approach to a Bruckner symphony short-changes the composer.

A concert with a considerable sense of occasion, as the orchestra bids the Finn farewell from his Philharmonia post.
