Alexander Malofeev's debut was brilliant! The pianist stepped in for the ill Evgeny Kissin at a concert of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra - and the audience could hardly contain itself. The Frankfurt audience rewarded Malofeev's virtuoso playing with thunderous applause, not so much for its power as for its melody and transparency. It was high time for the 23-year-old to give a recital at the Alte Oper. Malofeev readily admits that he feels most at home alone on stage. He then gives an insight into his world of sound: "It's always my own space, even when hundreds of people are listening. I let them in. I like to create my own space. In the Mozart Hall, Malofeev creates a sound space that spans Scandinavia, France, Vienna and his Russian homeland: Characteristic pieces glowing in intense colours.

Vintage baroque meets pure rock in this spirited double bill. Because when Vilde Frang and Kammerorchester Basel tackle Bach together, you know sparks will fly. The Norwegian string queen chose not only a violin concerto but also a harpsichord concerto, massaged into string music. And then there are Mendelssohn's string symphonies, brimming with youthful exuberance, and the Holberg Suite, in which Grieg proves that the spirit of Bach lingers even in the Far North.

He was not yet 15 years old when Mendelssohn Bartholdy was already able to present twelve short so-called string symphonies. They were already far more than compositional finger exercises and caused open-mouthed performances at the distinguished concerts in his parents' garden hall (with professional musicians from the royal court orchestra!). And then Bach: musical demands on the performer? Oh yes! Precision, logical phrasing, teamwork, and a soaring sound. Perfectly suited to Vilde Frang. And his popularity among the audience? Ten!

Kensington Symphony Orchestra returns to Cadogan Hall to perform Nielsen’s Fifth Symphony (1922), likened by the composer to “the division of dark and light, the battle between evil and good”.

Alternately explosive and calm, the work features a famous battle between the orchestra and a snare drummer, who is instructed to improvise “as though determined at all costs to stop the progress of the orchestra”.

KSO is joined by former BBC Young Musician keyboard finalist Firoze Madon for Grieg’s much-loved Piano Concerto (1868), written when the composer was just 24. A lyrical Andante is bookended by a dramatic Allegro and an energetic Finale, both featuring motifs influenced by Norwegian folk music.
