Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto turns out to be a shipwreck for the Georgian pianist, despite an admirable Orchestre de Paris and conductor (Kirill Karabits). 

Once more Kirill Karabits turned eastwards for inspiration and delivered persuasive renditions of two seldom heard works prefaced by a startlingly new work of arresting sonorities.

Philip Glass' 80th birthday is celebrated in style by Vasily Petrenko and The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in the UK première of his Eleventh Symphony, alongside vibrant performances of Dvořák and Scriabin.

While Paul Lewis impressed in Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto, Vasily Petrenko and the Oslo Philharmonic struggled to keep pace. Luckily, they seemed more at home in Scriabin's Second Symphony.

Le chef Paavo Järvi dirigeait ce jeudi l’Orchestre de Paris dans trois œuvres contrastées. Parmi elles, le Concerto pour piano n° 4 de Beethoven, interprété avec une grande finesse stylistique par Nelson Goerner. Un concert ensorcelant !

Rachmaninows Drittes Klavierkonzert war bei Nikolai Lugansky in seiner natürlichen Musikalität phänomenal, und mit Skrjabins Zweiter Symphonie erlaubte das Russische Nationalorchester unter Mikhail Pletnev die Begegnung mit selten aufgeführter Spätromantik.
