| 6-Apr-2012 Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall | Amsterdam Sinfonietta: Debussy, Mussorgsky, Weinberg and Shostakovich |
Amsterdam Sinfonietta offered a program with three Russians and a French composer, and, perhaps more interestingly, featured three works orchestrated by other composers. This offered interesting insight into how different orchestrations can be, some staying close to the original work and sound of the composer, and some adding new dimensions that may not have met the approval of its original composer, but are still worth listening to.

| 6-Dec-2011 Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall | Sergey Khachatryan and Amsterdam Sinfonietta's "Visions Fugitives" |
The Amsterdam Sinfonietta is an ensemble that is comfortable with both old and new repertoire, and often performes contemporary music. The concert I saw was right in the middle of a tour with violinist Sergey Khachatryan featuring Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Tchaikovksy’s Souvenir de Florence, but at the Muziekgebouw the program was different; instead of Vivaldi we were treated to Prokofiev’s Vision Fugitives (arranged by Rudolf Barshai) and the world première of Arthur Aharonian’s Violin Concerto No. 2 with star violinist Sergey Khachatryan.
