Kristian Bezuidenhout joins the ACO for a piecemeal programme leading to a complete performance of Beethoven's Emperor Concerto. 

A collaborative performance of Mozart's Sonata for two pianos was not broadcast, but Pires stanched any disappoint by offering refined interpretations of Schubert.

Evgeny Kissin is more than a collection of bones and flesh and crazy hair: he is a sensation. Every May for the past several years, the pianist has performed a recital on the Perelman stage at Carnegie Hall, and every year the tickets have sold out by mid-October, seven or eight months in advance. These recitals are the pinnacle of any concert-goer’s season.

Let me first describe the sound of the applause: taut, front-heavy, explosive. This was before Evgeny Kissin played his first note at Symphony Hall this past Sunday. It was a packed house, with an audience that spilled out of the choir loft and onto several rows of chairs wrapped around the piano.

Admirable dans Tchaïkovski et Schubert, la jeune pianiste sino-canadienne a ébloui le public tourangeau dans Chopin, en seconde partie d'un récital qui restera dans l'histoire du festival.

Lugansky invité à Genève par l'agence Caecilia, aura ravi dans un Tchaikovsky souple et racé et des Chopin plus impressionnistes que romantiques: peu importe, on aura suivi le voyage avec plaisir tant le talent du pianiste est à l'œuvre et sa technique au service de la musicalité. 

Fünf Instrumente verlangen jeweils ganz unterschiedliche, spezifische Spielweisen und Techniken, die zu präsentieren der Künstlerin hervorragend gelang: ein ungemein bereichernder Abend!
