Classical Music, Orchestral
Live Review

Review: Mendelssohn and Brahms (Melbourne Symphony Orchestra)

Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis proved a saviour at times as the MSO played with its talented Young Artist in Association, 14-year-old Christian Li, while Brahms' Symphony No 4 received an impressive performance.

Review: Mahler’s Third Symphony (West Australian Symphony Orchestra)

Asher Fisch and his forces awake this behemoth with sensitivity and abandonment, portraying the epic life-and-death struggle as conflict, but also as progress and reconciliation.

Review: Much Ado About Nothing (NT Live)

With its large cast, who are always on the move, this patchy production doesn't entirely lend itself to a filmed version with close-ups, as we miss some of the shenanigans.

Review: Vivacious (Adelaide Symphony Orchestra)

A concert combining vibrant orchestral colour with thoughtful reflection, featuring an outstanding performance from Canadian violinist James Ehnes.

Review: Carmen on Cockatoo Island (Opera Australia)

Going to Cockatoo Island is a fun part of the experience, but despite solid performances, the production doesn't entirely live up to the industrial setting.

Review: Organ Grandeur (West Australian Symphony Orchestra)

Internationally renowned organist Joseph Nolan joins WASO for a blistering assault on music by Barber and Saint-Saëns, with Asher Fisch also leading a gorgeous account of Respighi's The Fountains of Rome.

Review: Simone Young Conducts Beethoven’s Fidelio (Sydney Symphony Orchestra)

Superb performances by two last-minute jump-ins, their fellow cast members, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and the SSO under Simone Young make the most of Beethoven’s troubled piece.
