Ante la cancelación del insigne Vladimir Fedoseyev, el joven José Antonio Trigueros al frente de la OSG encaró un programa complejo, Shotakovich y Prokofiev, para el que contó además con la presencia de la pianista Varvara.

Una Segunda sinfonía de Rachmaninov insuperable corona un espectacular programa que empezó, por todo lo alto, con el Segundo concierto para piano y orquesta de Prokofiev.

The CBSO Youth Orchestra under Andrew Gourlay both succumb to and transcend imperfections in their performances of Prokofiev and Stravinsky.

Technically impressive pianism from Denis Matsuev doesn't click with Noseda and the LSO, but Shostakovich 6 is delivered with verve.

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

The Hungarian conductor is a late replacement for a satisfying mixed programme in which pianist Anna Vinnitskaya makes a blistering debut. 

La saison s'est ouverte sur un concert réjouissant. Au côté de l'Orchestre Philharmonique dirigé par Mikko Franck, Nikolai Lugansky a délivré une interprétation éblouissante du Concerto pour piano n° 2 de Prokofiev.

Sous la direction de Marko Letonja et avec l'extraordinaire pianiste Nikolai Lugansky, l'ouverture « russe » de la saison de l'Orchestre philharmonique de Strasbourg a donné lieu à un concert des plus réussis.

Mit Werken von Rimsky-Korsakow, Prokofjew und Schostakowitsch läutet das Riga Jūrmala Festival das letzte Wochenende seiner ersten Saison ein.

Making his Proms debut, Cristian Măcelaru opened the evening with music from his countryman, Constantin Silvestri, before tackling Prokofiev and Rachmaninov.

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

In his first Cleveland Orchestra engagement since 2006, MTT offered a powerful Russian evening of Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky and a Prokofiev concerto with Daniil Trifonov.

A night of big names: Valery Gergiev, Denis Matsuev, The Mariinsky Orchestra, Rimsky-Korsakov, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov. 

Youth was a hindrance rather than a virtue in this testosterone-driven performance which sought more than anything to sock the audience between the eyes

Die Musik hat als solche beeindruckt, und ein bleibendes Erlebnis war das Konzert für die Musizierenden allemal.

Andris Nelsons has been a frequent visitor to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2008, often conducting the symphonies of Shostakovich. 

L’Orchestre Pasdeloup revient à la Philharmonie dans un programme varié qui mêle la musique de Kaija Saariaho à Prokofiev et Beethoven. Au pupitre, le chef ukrainien Mykola Diadiura, avec le pianiste Abdel Rahman El Bacha.

Voilà quelques années que Valery Gergiev a marqué cette musique au fer, et le jour viendra bientôt où maestro voudra faire entendre les cinq concertos au cours d’une même soirée. Pour l’heure, il s’en tient aux trois premiers...

A Liszt tone poem, a Prokofiev piano concerto, and a Dvořák symphony made for a high-octane CSO program with conductor Emmanuel Krivine and pianist Denis Kozhukhin.

The energising figure of Vladimir Ashkenazy presided over this all-Russian programme in a concert that showcased the prodigious gifts of Denis Kozhukhin.

Sibelius and Nielsen still in very good hands at the LSO, but whence comes such a gift as that of Daniil Trifonov?

Though the Budapest Festival Orchestra’s programme used all the traditional ingredients for a concert of Russian music, it improved the recipe considerably with very special flavours.

Valery Gergiev led an athletic pilgrimage through composer-pianist Sergei Prokofiev’s five Piano Concerti, in numerical order, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

S'il existait, à l'image des ouragans, une échelle de puissance dans laquelle classer les concertos pour piano, nul doute que le second de Prokofiev se situerait au degré le plus élevé, dans la catégorie des machines les plus dévastatrices. Ce 14 janvier, Trifonov a résolu comme peut-être personne avant lui la largeur de vision de ces pages immortelles.

What on paper might have looked like a circus act – wheeling out three pianists to plough through Prokofiev’s five piano concertos – turned out to be a fascinating opportunity to compare and contrast.

Sunday night is fiesta night, or so it seemed at the Barbican, where the London Symphony took us on a whirlwind tour from Seville in Andalucia to the Asturias. 

Thanks to wild talent of soloist and conductor, a strikingly new take on some familiar work and a standout concert in Houston Symphony's season so far.

Whilst tonight's performance of Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony was polished and highly accomplished, it was Prokofiev's Piano Concerto no. 2 that really quickened our pulses.

Conductor and wunderkind Yannick Nézet-Séguin returned home to Montreal to lauch the 33rd season of L’Orchestre Métropolitain with a concert dedicated to compositions written or created a century ago in 1913.

Prom 30 saw the return of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under its Conductor Laureate Gianandrea Noseda with a Russian-themed programme. Prokofiev, Borodin and Tchaikovsky were played alongside Edward Cowie’s BBC commission and world première Earth Music I – The Great Barrier Reef.The Borodin overture and Polovtsian dances from Prince Igor served as an energy-injection to the start of the evening.

If the graphic design of a concert programme can be said to shape our expectations of the event then the Philharmonia Orchestra’s 2012/13 booklet, on which the press verdict “blazing originality” is encircled by red-hot flames, had perhaps set its sights rather high. Thursday’s concert, however, did not disappoint.

If the craft of the conductor has ever been a mystery to you – for it can certainly be a mystery to the orchestra – there couldn’t have been a finer explanation than this showcase concert.

The Robeco Summer Concerts at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam have for years now allowed lovers of classical music to still enjoy live music in the middle of summer when most orchestras are travelling or on a break. This year’s line-up is as impressive as ever, with many international orchestras gracing Amsterdam with their presence.

The pictures in the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance on Friday, dubbed “Pictures from Russia”, were clear, perfectly hued and daubed with rich colour. The command that conductor Carolyn Kuan held over the Orchestra produced an evening of electric excitement.
