Denis Matsuev nous invite dans une musique tout en nuances aux côtés de l'ONL, dans un programme qui mêle fougue et douceur.

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra’s former Chief Conductor returns for a concert of mostly Russian repertoire.

Bringing the Philharmonia is the most ambitious thing the Lammermuir Festival has ever done, yet it felt like a natural next step for a festival that's growing in stature.

Late-career works by Lyadov, Bartók and Rachmaninov dominated the program, which featured Inon Barnatan as piano soloist.

Charlotte Corderoy impresses in her Cadogan Hall debut with a trio of 19th-century Russian classics, featuring pianist Martin James Bartlett playing Tchaikovsky.

Lyadov, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich play to Petrenko’s Russian strengths with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and 15-year old soloist, Christian Li.

Multi-sensory music? Scriabin's Prometheus, Poem of Fire tickles the senses in an ecstatic performance under Stanislav Kochanovsky.

In a programme of Lyadov, Korngold and Rachmaninov, the Ulster Orchestra’s Chief Conductor brings an evening of music that wouldn’t sound out of place on the silver screen.  

Online concert organisers need to stage their events more successfully than what was on offer here from Bournemouth. Schubert, Lyadov and Shostakovich all wrote memorable pieces. Nothing much memorable about these performances though.

Technically impressive pianism from Denis Matsuev doesn't click with Noseda and the LSO, but Shostakovich 6 is delivered with verve.

Vladimir Jurowski conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in works by four Russian composers whose UK premieres were all unveiled at the Proms. 

Chen plays a fine solo part in Bruch and delights with his encore; Orozco-Estrada and the LPO provide some good moments but fall short of their best form.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski and the soloist Ray Chen offer the next instalment in a series showcasing the works of Stravinsky and their historical influences.

A thrilling concert by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain conducted by Sir Mark Elder culminated in a sinister and atmospheric performance of Duke Bluebeard's Castle.

Thomas Søndergård conducts the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in Mosolov, Shostakovich and Beethoven with Igor Levit

In this second Mariinsky concert Kristóf Baráti was a fine but miscast soloist in Stravinsky’s violin concerto, with rich narrative pickings from Rimsky-Korsakov and his illustrious pupil.

Under the indefatigable Valery Gergiev, the Mariinsky Orchestra took to the Cadogan Hall stage for the first of two colourful programmes pairing Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov with his pupil, Igor Stravinsky.

“Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.” In the Soviet Union, composers quickly learnt when to toe the Party line.

Continúa la 5ª temporada de La Filarmónica. Continúa la fiesta. 

The RSNO continues its cycle of Prokofiev’s Piano Concertos to celebrate its 125th season, coupled with some Russian fairy-tale magic and a rare outing for Rachmaninov’s Third Symphony.

Shostakovich's Eighth dominated another memorable City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra programme. 

John Adams conducted the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in works ranging from the frothy to the very serious, including his latest composition, Scheherazade.2.

The influence of words and storytelling is apparent from Mr Adams’ dense score to Scheherazade.2, which broods throughout with cinematic yet unpredictable intensity.

“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.

Yet some, like Tchaikovsky (whose Piano Concerto was rejected by his mentor Rubinstein), managed to maintain the strength of their musical convictions in the face of public rejection.
