Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake

Neeme Järvi conducts the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra

Published: November 21, 2013 at 5:23 pm

'Violinist James Ehnes is superb throughout, raising the "Danse Russe" into a smouldering display of Gypsy-style virtuosity. The Bergen Philharmonic offers the most polished playing, driven by Järvi at often fast than usual tempos. Generally, though, when it matters Järvi abandons his brisk manner for an understated yet manifest sensitivity to Tchaikovsky's poignant lyricism.' Daniel Jaffé
