Artiste: Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra

A rewarding visit from this Japanese orchestra under principal conductor Sebastian Weigle featured a fine Rachmaninov Second Symphony and a vivid, gusty Beethoven Violin Concerto from soloist Christian Tetzlaff.

The Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra under their Principal Conductor Sebastian Weigle show top-form in Tchaikovsky before their upcoming European tour. 

Exciting Tchaikovsky from the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, while Leeds winner Eric Lu is the sensitive soloist in Chopin's Second Concerto.

We travel to Japan to discover more about its rich cultural offerings, from old traditions to new festivals and surprising artists.
