Andrey Boreyko makes an impressive debut with the Boston Symphony, where Evgeny Kissin performs in not one, but two piano concertos. 

Daniil Trifonov provided a spectacularly nuanced and expressive interpretation of Scriabin's Piano Concerto with the New York Philharmonic under Jaap van Zweden.

Wunderkind Russian piano virtuosi are no novelty in European concert halls. Artistic seriousness and subtle interpretive skill are a harder sell. Daniil Trifonov, a pianist with intelligent and original interpretations that belie a maturity beyond his tender years, closed his season-long residency at the Berlin Philharmonic with a performance of Scriabin's rarely performed piano concerto.

Peter Oundjian was at the top of his game with Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Shostakovich and Scriabin.

Susanna Mälkki was guest conductor for The Cleveland Orchestra’s Summers@Severance concert, which also included Schumann’s “Rhenish” Symphony.

Celso Antunes and Bertrand Chamayou present the evocative music of Debussy, Scriabin and Takemitsu with the São Paulo State Orchestra.

The CBSO shines in a programme of big, energetic music and tender emotions.

La Verdi possessed the necessary bloom to portray Scriabin's rich colour scheme under former LSO Assistant Marius Stravinsky. At times, they were irresistible.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra’s Rachmaninov Inside Out festival continued with a performance of the Russian composer’s Symphony no. 1.

Le chef Rozhdestvensky annonçant au dernier moment qu'il n'est plus en mesure de diriger l'orchestre, il est remplacé in extremis par Mikhail Pletnev dans les symphonies, et par le premier violon Alexey Bruni dans le Concerto de Scriabine. S'il faut être indulgent dans la laborieuse première partie, la Symphonie n°9 de Chostakovitch est pleine de verve, ce qui est remarquable dans de telles conditions.
