Auguriamo un buon compleanno a Zubin Mehta (!!) e ascoltiamo, diretto proprio da lui, il valzer da "Il lago dei cigni" di Tchaikovsky in occasione della #giornatainternazionaledelladanza

Un altro momento dalle "Nozze di Figaro" che Mozart fece rappresentare per la prima volta oggi a Vienna nel 1786. A dirigerci Daniel Harding. Buona musica, amici!

🩰Derek Deane's Swan Lake in-the-round, filmed at the Royal Albert Jan 30, 2026 — 2. A Romantic Masterpiece: Swan Lake is considered one of the most famous romantic ballets in the classical repertoire...

Elgar’s Cello Concerto in E minor is intimate, melancholic, and intimate in character. It gives voice to the pain and sorrow the composer was living with, yet still holds a gentle joy. On tour, we played it with Sol Gabetta almost every evening – and we’d happily keep going.

In his Chopin biography, Liszt noted that Chopin was “always treated en Prince”. #Magyarország #CulturalDiplomacy cc @tamasivankovacs #SoftPower

This ingenious #Tchaikovsky flashmob — full of surprises — unfolds in front of La Madeleine, site of #Chopin’s funeral. Classical music with the people, not for. P.S. Rachmaninov youtu.be/CfDyjNhA7Go

At Victoria Hall, Geneva, Nikolay Khozyainov — pianist, composer, conductor and founder of the Peace Philharmonic Orchestra — builds global bridges across composers, musicians, audiences, institutions and ideas.

Tomorrow in Dortmund, Germany, cellist Sol Gabetta joins Semyon Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic in Elgar’s Cello Concerto, with Dvořák’s Carnival and Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring rounding out the programme. Details here: konzerthaus-dortmund.de/de/programm/23…

🌿 You might remember The Three Tenors—but this trio brings that same spirit of vocal brilliance in a new way. 🌺 Il Volo performing Ave Maria is pure elegance: powerful voices, seamless harmony, and a deeply moving interpretation of a timeless classic. A performance that’s both refined and emotionally stirring—absolutely unforgettable.

The artistic milieu surrounding #Chopin’s later years — including figures such as George Sand, Pauline Viardot and Jenny Lind — was a source of inspiration for some of his masterpieces. For example: Barcarolle, Op. 60, and Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op. 61 youtu.be/aVXA09Litcc

A flashmob performing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto right in the heart of Paris — turning an ordinary street into a concert hall no one expected. Suddenly, the city pauses. Passersby freeze, then gather as soaring piano lines and sweeping orchestral power fill the air, echoing between historic facades. From quiet curiosity to full awe, the moment transforms the street into pure cinema — where classical music meets everyday life in the most iconic setting imaginable. 🎹✨

J.S. Bach’s Prelude in C major is endlessly reinterpreted — memorably in the film “Bagdad Café” (1987): youtu.be/rZ0ETSquvqs #Bach
