Dans le rôle de Hunding, Stephen Milling a fait forte impression lors d'un premier acte de La Walkyrie qui a donné envie d'en entendre davantage...

Plus encore que des Tableaux d'une exposition joliment accompagnés de bouchées concoctées par le chef étoilé Éric Girardin, on retiendra de ce concert l'exceptionnel Concerto de Khatchatourian par Khachatryan...

Dernier concert de la saison symphonique de l’Orchestre Pau Pays Béarn, avec un programme de musique russe symphonique et poétique empruntée à Modeste Moussorgski, Piotr IlitchTchaïkovski et Igor Stravinsky.

La sonorité royale, sans métal, pleine, dense, rayonnante de Nikolaï Lugansky se déploie sans entraves. Et dès qu'il chante à découvert, on admire la plasticité de ses phrasés

Man könnte ihn als den Daniel Barenboim der Jetztzeit bezeichnen. Mit dem Israelischen Spitzenorchester präsentierte sich Lahav Shani als begnadeter Pianist und Dirigent. 

There is something peculiarly Russian about the capacity for suffering as exemplified in the music of Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky. Maria Ioudenitch, Stanislav Kochanovsky and the Dresden Philharmonic are excellent interpreters at Cadogan Hall.

Canellakis and the LPO are in fighting form with Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, while Pablo Ferrández provides subtlety and sardonic bite in Shostakovich. 

Anna Clyne's superb cello concerto is given a beautiful performance by Alban Gerhardt and the BBC Philharmonic under Ben Gernon.

Shostakovich, combined with witty Prokofiev, warm and expressive Mozart and atmospheric Mussorgsky from Noseda and the LSO at the Barbican.

Curate's eggs are surprisingly common in the musical world: a disappointing concerto performance from an off-form Alexei Volodin but impressive results from Robert Trevino and the RPO in the main work.

El magnífico Emmanuel Pahud era el atractivo principal de una velada que incluía el Concierto para flauta de Khachaturian además de Scheherazade de Rimsky-Korsakov.

Nézét-Séguin draws limpid playing of extreme clarity from the BRSO to provide a telling account of Shostakovich's Fifth.

The St Petersburg Philharmonic unleash all the unstoppable forces of Russian excess in a programme of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev at Sage Gateshead.

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. 

Sir Mark Elder conducted the LSO through a series of inimitable Russian works while the star player veered off course to formulate her own new genre – quite deliciously.

Colorful works by Mussorgsky, Dutilleux, and Ravel surround Shostakovich’s gray Soviet-era Violin Concerto no. 2.

The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Maestro Gergiev, showed off their brilliant versitility, and gave us a taste of Wagner's Ring.

Sir Mark Elder conducts the Hallé in Mussorgsky, Rachmaninov with Sunwook Kim and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade.

It isn’t every day that you bump into a world-class virtuoso violinist. I bumped into one, James Ehnes as it happens, and in the literal rather than figurative sense, only minutes before he was to star in the CBSO’s concert celebrating the Ballets Russes in 1913 – a programme that brought together the delightful tranquillity of Mussorgsky’s prelude to Khovanshchina, Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D

The regular home of the Dresden Philharmonic, Dresden’s Kulturpalast, is currently being renovated, and as a result the orchestra is taking residence in a number of venues around the city, including the city theatre, and the renowned Frauenkirche. However, the majority of their concerts this season are taking place in the Albertinum, one of Dresden’s many art galleries.

The vibrant tapestry of the orchestra – the most expansively diverse of ensembles – can convey anything from the innermost reaches of the psyche to vast landscapes of endless imaginative scope. Surely the genius of late Romantic Russian society found his voice through this medium, whose glorious Violin Concerto in D major and Symphony No.

New Year’s concerts have never been that appealing to me: I am not a great lover of Viennese waltzes and that is what most of them consist of. But fortunately this year the Holland Symfonia had a New Years concert with a twist: Russian fireworks.
