Music that makes the flesh creep: Kochanovsky's powerful Prokofiev 6
Three diverse works written within 15 years of each other, by Kodály, Poulenc and Prokofiev, given with panache by the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the amazing Jussen brothers and Stanislav Kochanovsky.
Robin Ticciati shuffles incidental music with the COE
Beethoven was the spiritus rector of Ticciati's COE concert at the Elbphilharmonie, with Lisa Batiashvili in commanding form for that composer's fiddle concerto.
Famous sons of famous fathers with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra
Almost a case of bringing coals to Newcastle: two works by Brahms, played by a Swiss orchestra and with an Austrian soloist in the composer's home town.

A Franco-Finnish partnership at the Elbphilharmonie
Everybody's current darling among international orchestras, Klaus Mäkelä, takes his Parisian band on a fantastic ride, courtesy of Berlioz, while Janine Jansen displays individualism in Sibelius.
Rattle's penultimate instalment of the Ring cycle in Hamburg
A long stellar night of supremely assured singing and playing in Wagner's Siegfried, with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle on top form.
