Prom 25: Gabetta/BBCSO/Stasevska review – stirring and spirited

Dalia Stasevska established a strong rapport with orchestra and audience in fresh and fluid readings of Tchaikovsky and Sibelius, while Sol Gabetta gave shape and intimacy to Mieczysław’s cello concerto

Prom 13: BBCSO/Oramo review – variety and virtuoso flair for Messiaen’s great work

Messaien’s monumental Des Canyons aux Étoiles … sounded thrillingly fresh with masterly tour de force solos

Prom 8: BBCSO/Eötvös review – classics outshone by the new

Henry Wood’s ‘discoveries’ by Debussy, Bartók and Stravinsky are reprised with care, but it is the conductor’s work for violinist Isabelle Faust that brings this concert alive

First night of the Proms review – the moon, and female stars

Zosha Di Castri’s evocative tribute to the Apollo moon landing led an opening night that, under the baton of Karina Canellakis, felt subtly like an upward leap

Granados: Goyescas review – vivid choral writing brings art to life

Based on paintings by Goya, Enrique Granados’s lost opera is full of melodic invention, energetically performed here

BBCSO/Davis/Batiashvili review – clarity, lyricism and ecstatic colours

The BBC Symphony Orchestra programme of Tippett, Debussy and Szymanowksi – with Lisa Batiashvili the breathtaking soloist – was beautifully balanced

Total Immersion: Ligeti review – virtuoso demonstration of an aural imagination

The BBC Symphony Orchestra played superbly in a day-long programme, providing another chance to wonder at the composer’s ingenuity

The week in classical: Kát’a Kabanová; Radu Lupu; Bach’s Mass in B minor – review

Amanda Majeski makes an unforgettable debut in Richard Jones’s exemplary new production of Janáček’s great late opera. And time stands still with Radu Lupu

BBCSO/Oramo review – Causton’s brilliant time-play and sweetness from Isserlis

Richard Causton’s fascinating new work ignited temporal tension amid Sakari Oramo’s glowing orchestral colours, while Steven Isserlis’s cello brought gut-stringed feeling

BBCSO/Brabbins review – Vaughan Williams’s fury is made stunningly vivid

Outstanding Bax and Vaughan Williams made this a very special evening – even if Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s Last Man Standing, though excellently sung, failed to convince

The Silver Tassie review – superb, fiery outing for Turnage’s first world war masterpiece

This concert staging of Mark-Anthony Turnage’s opera based on Sean O’Casey’s play was forcefully conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth and sung by a consistently strong cast

Home listening: Von Bronsart, Urspruch, Liszt and out-of-this world Holst

Hyperion showcases two lesser lights and hits a Liszt century, while Brian Cox illuminates The Planets

Last Night of the Proms review – carnival silliness but music and messages lack real bite

In a hall awash with EU regalia, inflatables and oversize hats, the celebration that ends the Proms season was fun, but both the music and the banter felt oddly removed from reality

Prom 41: BBCSO/Gardner review – Vaughan Williams rarity of strikingly good music

Edward Gardner led a fine performance of choral music written after the first world war, with Jean-Guihen Queyras a refined soloist in Elgar’s cello concerto

Proms 2018 review – opening night dutifully honours musical greats

Centenary of the end of the first world war dominates first concert
