Anchored by the piano music of Shostakovich, Evgeny Kissin’s Cleveland recital also explores works of Bach and Chopin. 

Evgeny Kissin delights an overwhelmingly enthusiastic San Francisco audience with Chopin and Shostakovich, but his Bach is less convincing. 

Andris Nelsons and Emanuel Ax find inspiration working with their young colleagues on an idyllic Sunday in the Berkshires. 

Karina Canellakis brings her Netherlands Radio Philharmonic to the Musikverein, joined by Emanuel Ax in Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto. 

Joshua Bell brings virtuosic fireworks and generous tone to works by Chausson and Vieuxtemps, while Christoph Eschenbach delivers a Brahms 1 devoid of fresh insight.

In an homage to Joseph Cornel's “Celestial Navigation”, Kolesnikov conceived his own musical constellation with great insight.

Dans la petite église de Neuville-Bosc, la pianiste a interprété un programme magnifiquement agencé, de Beethoven à Liszt en passant par Chopin et Schumann.

Il ne m’appartient pas de savoir exactement à quoi tient la supériorité des pianistes espagnols dans Granados, mais entre autres choses, ils en possèdent naturellement l’idiome… Attention cependant à ne pas en contaminer le reste du répertoire ! Ce soir, même Chopin avait goût d’huile d’olive, la moindre Nocturne se payant des airs d’Alborada.

A dark thread ran through Yevgeny Sudbin’s recital at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, from the sombre B minor sonata by Haydn to Scriabin’s infamous “Black Mass” sonata and Saint-Saens’ virtuosic Danse macabre.

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.
