After hearing three exhilarating and razor-sharp Philharmonia concerts this season under Esa-Pekka Salonen and Jakub Hrůša, this performance with regular guest conductor Yuri Temirkanov felt decidedly “Old School”.
Denis Kozhukhin provided flowing intensity in Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto while Yuri Temirkanov crafted a polished Shostakovich 5 with the Philharmonia.
The St Petersburg Philharmonic playing Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony – a work it premiered in 1937 as the Leningrad Philharmonic – was a highlight of a superb concert concluding its UK tour.
The St Petersburg Philharmonic make their contribution to Sage Gateshead's year long theme of dance, delighting a sold-out Hall One with their luxurious sound.
Yuri Temirkanov and the Philharmonia deliver exhilarating and sublime Tchaikovsky, while the increasingly impressive Sergey Khachatryan produces a mature and thoroughly absorbing Sibelius Violin Concerto.
Denis Matsuev's dazzlingly virtuosic account of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto was contrasted by Yuri Temirkanov's gentle reading of Brahms' Second Symphony.
Denis Matsuev produced fireworks of the right kind in refreshing Tchaikovsky, with taut and dramatic Brahms from Yuri Temirkanov and the Philharmonia Orchestra.
I’m not sure where Sinbad was sailing to in the St Petersburg Philharmonic’s Prom last night, but he sure wanted to get there in a hurry. A frenetic – and thrilling – performance of Scheherazade displayed great impetuosity.
Yuri Temirkanov chills Felix Mendelssohn and Anton Bruckner symphonic fire with Russian sensibility at the MITO Settembre Musica festival inaugural concert
“Never look encouragingly at the brass,” was one of Richard Strauss’ conducting commandments. Yuri Temirkanov took this maxim to heart, barely looking at any members of his St Petersburg Philharmonic during an absorbing account of Shostakovich’sSymphony no. 10 in E minor.
As part of their Autumn UK tour, Russia’s oldest symphony orchestra delivered Liadov, Prokofiev and Tchaikovsky, but failed to create a lasting impression.
The Théâtre des Champs-Elysées invited Yuri Temirkanov’s Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra to celebrate Beethoven and the Napoleonic wars in a heroic program: the Piano Concerto no. 5 in E flat major “Emperor” and the Symphony no. 3 in E flat major “Eroica”.
It’s unfair but tempting to pigeonhole pianists: the intense Mitsuko Uchida; the powerful Martha Argerich; the stately Alicia de Larrocha; and the vivacious Maria João Pires.
Manchester was very fortunate this week to host three fine orchestras: the Orchestre Nationale du Capitole de Toulouse did a wonderful job of Berlioz on Tuesday and the CBSO gave a towering Sibelius 2 on Thursday. Tonight, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic played a breathtaking concert to a packed hall in the final performance of their UK tour.
Yuri Temirkanov und die St. Petersburger Philharmoniker umrahmen Rachmaninows Zweites Klavierkonzert mit farbenfrohen Leckerbissen aus dem russischen Repertoire.
Soirée Tchaïkovski contrastée au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées: Temirkanov et l'Orchestre de Saint-Pétersbourg brillent dans une éclatante Symphonie n° 5, après un bien terne Concerto pour violon dans l'ombre de Julia Fischer.
La Filarmónica de San Petersburgo se presentó de la mano de Ibermúsica, ambos mantienen una relación de ya 46 años que únicamente se explica al socaire de la preocupación por ofrecer música (especialmente la que comparte denominación de origen) con el mayor cuidado y al más alto nivel.
La Filarmónica de San Petersburgo, dirigida por el sempiterno Yuri Temirkanov, se presentó en Madrid con un programa de obras del repertorio clásico, obras que gustan a todo: el Concierto de violín de Brahms y la Cuarta de Tchaikovsky. A Temirkanov le basta con dirigirse al podio con paso sereno, pero resuelto, para que uno se haga una idea de lo que está a punto de acontecer. Este no va a ser un concierto cualquiera.
Vom ersten Takt an merkt der Hörer, dass hier eine Gemeinschaft von Musikern zusammengekommen ist, deren Mitglieder aufeinander bestens eingespielt sind. Temirkanov reicht eine auf das Wesentliche reduzierte Gestik, um einen Klang zu schaffen, dessen Homogenität auf unübertroffene Weise ausbalanciert ist.
Il fallait bien la solidité technique et la richesse expressive, rares, de l’Orchestre Philharmonique de Saint-Pétersbourg, alliées au brio et à l’élégance d’un Berezovsky en très grande forme, pour sublimer ces deux substances au détriment d’aucune. Un grand concert !
Le 26 avril, le Philharmonia Orchestra proposait sous la baguette de Youri Temirkanov un beau programme Rimsky-Korsakov/Rachmaninov/Dvořák, avec Daniil Trifonov au piano. Si le jeune soliste a déployé tout son génie, l’orchestre pourtant d’un très bon niveau n’a pas été aussi convaincant.
