Gustavo Gimeno dirigió un concierto extremo en los afectos y sobresaliente en lo musical con Denis Kozhukhin como protagonista de la primera parte del programa.

Stepping in for Daniil Trifonov, the Ukrainian-born Israeli parries and thrusts in Korngold's Violin Concerto, the highlight of Gustavo Gimeno's Proms debut. 

James Gaffigan proves to be both a master of the intricacies in complex Prokofiev and an attentive accompanist in Rachmaninov.

Celebrating its centenary the orchestra and its chief conductor proposed a programme consisting of works (mostly) composed in the last 100 years.

The polar opposite combination of Beethoven's Violin Concerto and Prokofiev's Third Symphony may seem odd on paper, but makes for an inspiring and entertaining evening at the Barbican.

A decade after Riccardo Muti was appointed CSO’s Music Director, the chemistry between conductor and ensemble couldn’t be more evident.

Yefim Bronfman was the powerful soloist in Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto. Welser-Möst’s expressionistic reading of Prokofiev’s Third Symphony evoked nightmares of tormented souls.

Alexander Shelley and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra mixed simplicity with demonic shenanigans in two Prokofiev symphonies, while Chloë Hanslip dug deep in an impassioned Sibelius Violin Concerto.

 Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra gave a searching examination of Prokofiev's first three symphonies and the Violin Concerto no. 1, each half showing us the contrast between light and shade, airiness and density.

A belated touch of demonic fire was a welcome ingredient to last night's Prom with a compelling interpretation of Prokofiev's Third Symphony, based on material from his opera The Fiery Angel.

Jurowski dio una nueva muestra de su dominio de este repertorio sinfónico comandando una interpretación que triunfó en la casi imposible misión de hacer que la obra desmintiese su carácter programático

Prom number 40 saw a Russian conductor at the helm of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, playing a selection of music from some of the great Russian composers of the last two centuries, all with very distinct styles. Rimsky Korsakov’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Night on a Bare Mountain began the concert and conjured up all the fantastical imagery the name promises.
