Andrey Boreyko makes an impressive debut with the Boston Symphony, where Evgeny Kissin performs in not one, but two piano concertos. 

Late-career works by Lyadov, Bartók and Rachmaninov dominated the program, which featured Inon Barnatan as piano soloist.

Charlotte Corderoy impresses in her Cadogan Hall debut with a trio of 19th-century Russian classics, featuring pianist Martin James Bartlett playing Tchaikovsky.

In a programme of Lyadov, Korngold and Rachmaninov, the Ulster Orchestra’s Chief Conductor brings an evening of music that wouldn’t sound out of place on the silver screen.  

Online concert organisers need to stage their events more successfully than what was on offer here from Bournemouth. Schubert, Lyadov and Shostakovich all wrote memorable pieces. Nothing much memorable about these performances though.

Chen plays a fine solo part in Bruch and delights with his encore; Orozco-Estrada and the LPO provide some good moments but fall short of their best form.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski and the soloist Ray Chen offer the next instalment in a series showcasing the works of Stravinsky and their historical influences.

A thrilling concert by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain conducted by Sir Mark Elder culminated in a sinister and atmospheric performance of Duke Bluebeard's Castle.

Under the indefatigable Valery Gergiev, the Mariinsky Orchestra took to the Cadogan Hall stage for the first of two colourful programmes pairing Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov with his pupil, Igor Stravinsky.

The RSNO continues its cycle of Prokofiev’s Piano Concertos to celebrate its 125th season, coupled with some Russian fairy-tale magic and a rare outing for Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony.

John Adams conducted the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in works ranging from the frothy to the very serious, including his latest composition, Scheherazade.2.

The influence of words and storytelling is apparent from Mr Adams’ dense score to Scheherazade.2, which broods throughout with cinematic yet unpredictable intensity.

Severance Hall was full on Saturday evening for the Cleveland Orchestra debut of one of the hottest young conductors on the scene today: Robin Ticciati. Not yet 30, Mr Ticciati is conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Music Director-designate at Glyndebourne.

On December 1st, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra welcomed guest conductor Andrey Boreyko to guide them through a journey of "Russian Gems." Boreyko made his debut with the TSO in October 2003 and has had a prolific career through guest conducting and as a music director.

Throughout history, artists and composers have been known to cause controversy with groundbreaking new works that shocked and challenged audiences. Yet some, like Tchaikovsky (whose Piano Concerto was rejected by his mentor Rubinstein), managed to maintain the strength of their musical convictions in the face of public rejection.
