Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | English | Andrey Boreyko

Mozart's “Elvira Madigan” Piano Concerto is played with grace and style by Benjamin Grosvenor; Andrey Boreyko and LPO gives gripping accounts of Sibelius and Tchaikovsky. 

A perennially unsettling pair of complementary post-war masterpieces, conducted by Andrey Boreyko, and a moving return to London for Gidon Kremer. 

Boreyko and the LPO shine in Victoria Vita Polevá's tribute to Ukraine and Elena Langer setting of Edward Lear, and give a dazzling performance of Shostakovich 5.

The Russian conductor proves a super stand-in for Shostakovich, while Simon Trpčeski has fun with the Second Piano Concerto.

Andrey Boreyko’s Blossom Music Center program included Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto with Francesco Piemontesi and a rare but convincing performance of Zemlinsky’s Die Seejungfrau.

The world première of Giya Kancheli’s Nu.Mu.Zu is the blow-your-socks-off highlight of an evening that includes colourful playing of Falla and Strauss.

The Detroit Symphony played its best concert in over a year, with Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto proving the highlight. 

It can be a strange experience to listen to Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto no. 2 without the visuals of Celia Johnson’s doe-eyed sadness and Trevor Howard’s tortured half-smile to go with it, so synonymous is the work with Brief Encounter, Noël Coward’s celebrated paean to 1940s English morality and thwarted love.

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.
