Probably the greatest Schubert 'Unfinished' by Pablo Heras-Casado and Freiburg Baroque since Harnoncourt with Concertgebouworkest app.idagio.com/albums/d34b05f…

Last Philharmonia Orchestra concert of the season Southbank Centre with a phenomenal Heldenleben. Santtu is a true Straussian who just gets better amd better.

This recording of #Bach #KunstDerFuge by Cuarteto Casals has to be the best performance of a work that can come across as so very dry. In the hands of Cuarteto Casals it sings, dances to reveal Bach's genius counterpoint. open.spotify.com/album/5ers8gfh…

Completely over the moon that 'Tutta sola' has won an Opus Klassik award in the Solo Instrument category! Thank you so much to all those that are involved and of course the wonderful team behind the recording including Channel Classics Outhere Music 🍾🍾

The Mozart 39 on the new Claves Records disc from Roberto González-Monjas and the Musikkollegium Winterthur is absolutely revelatory. Not since Harnoncourt has there been such freshness and vitality to a new recording. app.idagio.com/albums/df67076…

Accurate review by The Classic Review of Víkingur Ólafsson #GoldbergVariations which applies equally to his concert Southbank Centre theclassicreview.com/album-reviews/…

"What Mozart has done, as any great master does, is to turn prosy symmetry into poetic balance, that is to say art."

Thank you Gramophone 🙏 for sharing the video of Variation 26 from Goldberg Variations Reimagined with Brecon Baroque & Chad Kelly which is out today! 🎺🎶 If you want to hear more, listen, stream or buy here: lnk.to/BachGoldberg_P… gramophone.co.uk/classical%20mu…

Undoubtedly Helen Charlston is the greatest mezzo-sopran talent to emerge on the scene in the last few years. Soon to be raised to the pantheon of the all-time greats.

I chatted with Gramophone with Chad Kelly about Reimagining Bach's Goldberg Variations with Brecon Baroque... gramophone.co.uk/podcasts/artic…

Hearing Askonas Holt violinist for the first time on BBC Radio 3 playing Beethoven Violin Concerto with BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Leslie Suganandarajah. Extraordinary talent playing the hardest concerto in the repertoire with ease and pace.

“I'm enjoying conducting in Vienna – as much as a Jew can. You never know if the public that's screaming bravo for you might contain someone who 25 years ago might have shot you dead." - Leonard Bernstein, letter to his parents, 1966.
