Rachmaninovfest au TCE avec Ashkenazy, Berezovsky et le Philharmonia Orchestra

Julien Hanck, 15th April

Dans ce programme exigeant, Berezovsky, que l'on a connu plus fringant, n'offre qu'une prestation honorable du premier concerto en fa dièse mineur. Ashkenazy, à travers la Symphonie n°2 de Rachmaninoff, mène un travail de fond avec une phalange qui fut un temps l'une des plus belles du monde.

Ashkenazy and Shoji brings effortless profundity to London

Young-Jin Hur, 28th November

Where great things take effort, truly great things happen naturally. Shoji's Brahms was the highlight of the evening.

Autumnal Schumann and volatile Tchaikovsky in Singapore

Chang Tou Liang, 3rd October

Gautier Capuçon is the soloist in a fine reading of Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto, where sheer outward display gave way to more musical values.

Viktoria Mullova's intense Sibelius in Auckland

Simon Holden, 12th September

In the exquisite singing line of the second movement, the appeal was not just in her beauty of tone but in the concentrated feeling Mullova brought to the shaping of each phrase.
