In an all-Russian programme, Jos van Immerseel and Anima Eterna Brugge show the nuts and bolts, but forget the music.

An ambitious programme demonstrated the musical passions and prowess of this most sought-after pianist, holding the Halloween audience in his devilish spell.

Pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk delivers a knockout Rachmaninov Paganini Rhapsody while JoAnn Falletta and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra and Chorus present memorable Tchaikovsky and Ravel scores.

Outstanding playing from soloist and Staatskapelle Dresden makes this a Prom to remember.

In an all-Rachmaninov evening, Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra open the 2019 festival with a brilliant exploration of the relation of music to power.

A marvelous musician, Mikhail Pletnev, conveyed a fresh perspective on the inner works of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto. 

A truly remarkable display from a musical giant as Yuja Wang wows the Barbican. 

There could hardly be a noisier way to commemorate the centenary of the Russian Revolution than a performance of Dmitri Shostakovich's mighty Twelfth Symphony.

Rachmaninov was not an especially religious man, yet he composed religious music, most famously the haunting All-Night Vigil (or Vespers) which was the climax to this evening's two Proms. 

An earthy – if slow – Pictures at an Exhibition from Yuri Simonov and the Moscow Philharmonic in Basingstoke is like a musical step back in time. 

Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra play an all-Rachmaninov concert, with pianist Stephen Hough performing in the First Piano Concerto. 

A splendid recital by Armenian cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan in King's Place's "Cello Unwrapped" series pays tribute to Russian cellist Anatoly Brandukov. 

Meticulous intonation, seamless phrasing and oozing charm, Chanticleer delivered a wonderful entertaining concert in a programme that stretched nearly 600 years. 

A firecracker performance by Vladimir Jurowski and the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin giving urgency to music composed at a time that echoes our own.

This Anvil concert revealed a “two sides of the same coin” quality from an illustrious orchestra that left a mixed, but mostly favourable impression.

A programme steeped in the cultural experience of 20th-century Russia offered intrigue, thrills and a surprising dash of humour.

A packed audience congregated in Wigmore Hall’s temple to pay homage at a very special concert in which Martha Argerich joined Stephen Kovacevich to mark his 75th birthday. 

Musical Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin inspired wonderful performances from the American players on the last leg of their European tour. 

This young ensemble was curiously lacking in youthful energy in a concert of orchestral classics with a few too many fluffed notes. 

Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad opens with a programme of beautiful music and a pair of fine soloists, but a concert somewhat let down by a lack of rapport between soloists and orchestra.

Members of the London Bridge Ensemble and the Heath Quartet enthralled a capacity audience at the Discovery Centre in the fourth event of the Winchester Chamber Music Festival. The main focus this year was Beethoven and Schumann, the music selected to highlight their musical development at specific times in their careers.

Stepping in for the indisposed Cédric Tiberghien, the Ukrainian-born Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk wowed Wigmore Hall’s lunchtime audience with a debut concert replete in masterful displays of pianism, in the purest meaning of the word.Gavrylyuk is a concert pianist in the traditional sense.

For many reasons, the ACO’s most recent show The Reef was an artistic experience like no other in all my years of concert-going. It is difficult even categorising the event: an orchestral concert with accompanying video footage? A film with live soundtrack? Neither does full justice to the nature of the project.

From Soprano Svetla Vasseliva’s vampish allure to Gianandrea Noseda’s warrior-like conducting, Prom 22 was a quintessentially Romantic affair with Russia at its heart.

For many, the phrase “music competition” has an unsavoury ring to it. One thinks of the tearful children of pushy parents, the crazed violinist whose failure has pushed him over the edge or perhaps even some of the more barbaric (yet horrifyingly watchable) talent shows on TV. Fortunately there is another side to these competitions: the fantastic platform they provide to talented musicians.

I greatly anticipated the New York debut concert of two new European stars, cellist Gautier Capuçon and pianist Gabriela Montero. Both are artists of great passion and intensity, and they chose a program of works that reflected their myriad gifts – one mid-20th century, one early Romantic, and the last, late Romantic in style.

À la Philharmonie, Lorenzo Viotti, Sabine Devieilhe, l'Orchestre de Paris et son chœur proposent une lecture habitée d'extraits d'œuvres sacrées et profanes de compositeurs russes.

Nach Beethoven leuchtet Daniil Trifonov besonders bei Schumann und Prokofjew auf.

Les six jeunes violoncellistes de la promotion 2017-2018 de la Classe d'Excellence de Gautier Capuçon en concert à la Fondation Louis Vuitton: un récital convivial et chaleureux.

Dans ce programme exigeant, Berezovsky, que l'on a connu plus fringant, n'offre qu'une prestation honorable du premier concerto en fa dièse mineur. Ashkenazy, à travers la Symphonie n°2 de Rachmaninoff, mène un travail de fond avec une phalange qui fut un temps l'une des plus belles du monde.

Einen Abend ganz im Zeichen Russlands gestalteten die Göteborger Symphoniker unter der Leitung des englischen Dirigenten Alexander Shelley.
