A Venetian Coronation, The Gabrieli Consort, St John’s Smith Square

A fresh, ambitious and daring approach to the familiar Finn

How a song can drift across a life

This is singing as mildly polemical conversation, from her to us

Three sonatas by Brahms? The clarinet adaptation, to no surprise, doesn’t work

I can imagine Kapustin in the background, smiling at his piano, during this breath-taking revival

What Rouse wrote was an intimate series of love letters to the orchestra

Norman Lebrecht is left wanting more Dutilleux
