CONCERT REVIEW | Stravinsky, Debussy, & Shostakovich | London Philharmonic Orchestra/Andsnes & Jurowski | Royal Festival Hall, London | "Rarely have the LPO’s strings been so concentrated in white heat"

CONCERT REVIEW | Bruckner | London Philharmonic Orchestra/Renes | RFH, London | "Notable Brucknerian interpretations in the past have hence shown how less can be more, just as the Dutch conductor Lawrence Renes demonstrated"
