Audiences drawn in by Yuja Wang's performance of the Ravel Piano Concerto are also treated to Julia Wolfe and Arturo Márquez.

Yuja Wang's performance of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto may have been the main draw, but Yannick Nézet-Séguin paired the familiar centerpiece with two neglected works by 20th-century American composers.

Nikolai Kapustin's 1993 "jazz concerto" is framed by classics of the Russian repertoire, including the rarely heard (these days) Second Symphony by Borodin. 

No doubts about the Canadian pianist in Chopin or in jazz-inflected Nikolai Kasputin; reservations about his Rameau and Beethoven.

Yuja Wang showed once again that she has way more to offer than fireworks, with delicacy, dynamic control and sensitive expression too in her wide ranging programme.

Sparkling Haydn from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra leads the way into an eclectic programme at the Enescu Festival. 

The LA Phil give us plenty of excitement in Stravinsky and Sousa and an orchestral surprise packet from Ginastera; Yuja Wang's superb pianism isn't enough to lift a disappointing Adams concerto.

Nobuyuki Tsujii's debut in the Southbank's International Piano Series proves a mixed success. 

The St Petersburg Philharmonic unleash all the unstoppable forces of Russian excess in a programme of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev at Sage Gateshead.

The pianist’s ability to easily bring out the melodic qualities, the shifts in mood and color from amidst the swirling pyrotechnics is remarkable for someone so young.

Everybody should visit the 1901 Arts Club at least once. Bulgarian-born pianist Tania Stavreva is exactly the sort of performer these venues need: combining genuine quality with a refreshing approach to programming.

Yuja Wang’s latest recital at Carnegie Hall, which took place Tuesday evening, is best compared to a triple-decker sandwich with very excellent bread and questionable innards. Ms. Wang is known for her intimidating technique: powerful, playful, and superlative. Her energy is at its highest during her showy encores, and her pianism is at its most impressive with virtuosic Russian repertoire.

Rarely does one see five grand pianos in one room, let alone on one stage. Enter the 5 Browns, a classical piano quintet. Siblings and Juilliard graduates – they were the first family to be enrolled at the Juilliard School simultaneously – it is clear this family has talent. Performing individually and together, this young ensemble has a vivacious and affable approach to classical music.

Premier prix du Concours Chopin, le pianiste produit une impression mitigée : d'une agilité impressionnante et d'une pulsation irrésistible dans certaines pièces, il se montre trop présent ou trop banal dans d'autres.
