Artist-in-Residence Bomsori Kim joins Jun Märkl for a new chapter in the history of the Residentie Orkest, The Hague. 

Khatia Buniatishvili may divide opinion, but for sheer visceral excitement she's hard to beat. Jun Märkl on tour with the Taiwan Philharmonic at Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie impresses in milder ways.

The internationally acclaimed violinist returns to her hometown with an intimate performance of the composer's Violin Concerto, which was paired with a spirited reading of his "Italian" Symphony.

Jun Märkl excels in an all-French program entitled “Vive la France”. 

The Atlanta Symphony and guest conductor Jun Märkl spin a spell with Falla's El amor brujo, with soprano Catalina Cuervo. 

Neither Rachmaninov's music nor the precision and perfection of the performance lose any of their power, vigor, brilliance and magic with a change from the traditional concert perspective.

The Auckland Philharmonia and conductor Jun Märkl presented “Last Songs”, a programme of late works by Schubert, Richard Strauss and Zemlinsky. We opened with Zemlinsky’s Sinfonietta, a work much admired by Schoenberg and Berg. There is a spiky quality to the music that is reminiscent of Hindemith and Stravinsky, though notably less acerbic than either.

“Cultural melting-pot” is a term so often used to describe Hong Kong that it has become a cliché. On Saturday, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra provided a living example of how the city relishes a mixture of cultural influences in a programme of works by French composers incorporating clear foreign influences, predominantly from Spain.
