		<description><![CDATA[The charismatic Corsican conductor Jean-Christophe Spinosi may produce spirited interpretations of repertoire, but he’s also a bit of a joker when given free rein. There might have been a few rictus smiles in the orchestra by the end of this light-hearted bundle of Mozart, Rossini and Haydn — or perhaps it was delirium — but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Played out among the harbour villages of this lovely corner of Fife, this year’s East Neuk Festival, dominated by Britten, Mozart, and Schubert, seemed a rather more conventional affair than last year’s contemporary sound installations and remote rural sidetracks. But in a year dominated by the young and talented, it was in the thoughtful programming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the flavour of this year’s St Magnus Festival was decisively Polish, as venue for the closing celebrations of Polska! Year, the mid-winterish fog shrouding the low-lying mainland was majestically Orcadian. Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, opening the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra’s Sunday night concert, seemed wildly appropriate in such ominous atmospheric conditions, [...]]]></description>

My baby is going to a baby opera. Oscar is only 16 months old and yet Scottish Opera have targeted him as fodder for Baby O, their new interactive operatic venture for children of six to 18 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Taking its inspiration from the intimate, sociable gatherings of musicians who premiered and played Schubert’s music in his short lifetime, the third UK annual Schubertiad in Perth (next stop, the Highlands) might have been a little less cosy than those that Schubert led — 700 is hardly your average drawing-room capacity, even among the most [...]]]></description>

Alejandro Viñao’s Baghdad Monologue is a pulsing, abrasive electronic work full of percussive syntax about a Baghdad woman [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since 1708, Handel’s pastoral masterpiece — you can positively hear the sheep frolicking — has been heard in more versions than you could dunk in a vat of sheep dip. The most recently rediscovered, Mendelssohn’s 1829 version of Handel’s “definitive” 1743 score, graced the Usher Hall on Sunday night.
A tale of love between a beautiful [...]]]></description>

Never mind the intellectual mix’n’matching of the rest of the International Festival programme this year, Greyfriars Kirk takes the Enlightenment theme with single-minded precision, focusing on Bach’s cantatas. The Bach Collegium Japan took on the solo cantatas, composed in the late [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’re wondering what a Neuk is, don’t ask a Dutchman – it’s apparently very rude. In Scotland, you’re on safer ground in Fife&#8217;s lovely string of harbour villages, decked with bunting, fishing boats and crow-stepped gables, sea views on one side and golf courses on the other. East Neuk also has a rather quirky [...]]]></description>

Midsummer on Orkney can be a conundrum. Visitors anticipate awe-inspiring, 24-hour daylight on a landscape stuffed with historic brochs, broughs and braes, only to find it covered in cloud so low you can’t see your own sandals. [...]]]></description>
