I was at a small concert in Venice last Friday. The room was about 10m x 20m, there were 4 violins and a double bass. There are those that say soundstage doesn’t exist in live concerts, it did and was very obvious at this concert. I could easily pinpoint each musician. I think what happens […]

Patrick Latimer writes: JS Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos are some of the most recorded classical works in existence and there is a crowded field of competing versions still available.

We are told: Dylan’s 1990s began with Under the Red Sky (1990), an about-face from the serious Oh Mercy. The album contained several simple songs with a nursery rhyme quality, including the title track and ‘Wiggle Wiggle’. The album was dedicated to “Gabby Goo Goo”, a nickname for the daughter of Dylan and Carolyn Dennis, […]
Sir Simon Rattle has done nothing to scotch rumours that he is to take the top job with the London Symphony Orchestra when Valery Gergiev steps down in 2017, possibly leaving the Berlin Philharmonic earlier than planned: he went to Berlin in 1999 and was due to stay until 2018. (Years go by like bar-lines […]

David Shariatmadri writes: I was going to start this article with Verdi. Until a week or so ago, my most recent experience of music-induced shivers down my spine, goosebumps, feelings of exhilaration – we’ll call them “the chills” – came during a performance of the Italian composer’s Requiem.
