Intérprete: Jaemin Han

In a notoriously tricky acoustic, the Czech Philharmonic and Semyon Bychkov make the Lotte Concert hall feel like theirs in a programme of Dvořák and Tchaikovsky.

Beethoven's Triple Concerto has a reputation of being a problematic work, but Myung-Whun Chung and the Tokyo Philharmonic prove otherwise in an emphatic performance. 

Anna Rakitina takes a strikingly Classical approach to classics of Romantic repertoire, yielding significant details and wonders. 

With concerts featuring Myung-whun Chung at the piano, Pinchas Zukerman leading from the podium, and inventive programming from Chief Conductor Andrea Battistoni, the Tokyo Philharmonic’s 2025 season straddles many divides.
