Review: Schumann’s Cello Concerto (West Australian Symphony Orchestra)
Cellist Ivan Karizna – playing an instrument that once belonged to Paul Tortelier – is both songster and storyteller in his WASO debut.

Cellist Ivan Karizna – playing an instrument that once belonged to Paul Tortelier – is both songster and storyteller in his WASO debut.
Under the baton of Otto Tausk, WASO make a coherent showcase of three wildly contrasting works.
The Orchestra celebrates its 75th anniversary with guest artists both new and returning, a number of works by Australian composers, and a new early-evening series.
Behzod Abduraimov's dramatic, refined reading of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 3 was just one highlight in a wonderful concert also featuring Mozart and Prokofiev.
A match made in heaven, Tiberghien and Tausk leave audiences truly impressed.
A masterful seascape bookended by two youthful works.
