There is something peculiarly Russian about the capacity for suffering as exemplified in the music of Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky. Maria Ioudenitch, Stanislav Kochanovsky and the Dresden Philharmonic are excellent interpreters at Cadogan Hall.

Without bite and grit, Bartók's music loses some of its uniqueness. Kochanovsky and his Hannover players still have some way to go, but Valeriy Sokolov delivers an impassioned Second Violin Concerto.

Multi-sensory music? Scriabin's Prometheus, Poem of Fire tickles the senses in an ecstatic performance under Stanislav Kochanovsky. 

Three diverse works written within 15 years of each other, by Kodály, Poulenc and Prokofiev, given with panache by the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the amazing Jussen brothers and Stanislav Kochanovsky.

Stanislav Kochanovsky, Nikolai Lugansky and the Belgian National Orchestra impress with an all-Russian triple bill.

In the second concert in the Orchestre de Paris' Rachmaninov Weekend, Nikolai Lugansky and Behzod Abduraimov take up the piano concerto baton... with greater success than Saturday's programme.

Despite wonderful contributions from Stanislav Kochanovsky and the Orchestre de Paris, a disappointing opening to the Philharmonie's Rachmaninov Weekend. 

Kochanovsky has been making waves around Europe and beyond, and we now heard just why.

A Russian double bill from the Rotterdam Philharmonic in their own turf under Stanislav Kochanovsky.

Fiery Prokofiev but lacklustre Britten with the National Orchestra of Belgium.

A seductive Debussy, a spikey Bartók violin concerto and a scintillating Berlioz: Kochavonsky and NSO join forces with violinist Sokolov.

Barrie Kosky’s atypically conservative production of the Russian classic was marked by musical direction and vocal performances of the highest order.

Tcherniakov's moving production delves into the psychological rather than revelling in the spectacular. 

An exhilarating journey through three Russian suites with LaVerdi in Milan.
