Performer: Behzod Abduraimov

Edward Gardner’s Pittsburgh Symphony debut brings freshness and intensity to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, alongside a sparkling tribute to Michael Tilson Thomas.

Gianandrea Noseda conducts the New York Philharmonic in a lovingly crafted, exhilarating rendition of Shostakovich’s gargantuan Fourth Symphony. 

Maurice Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé and a prelude from Dame Ethel Smyth's opera The Wreckers are heard for the first time in Singapore. 

Making her debut on the conductor’s podium, Han-Na Chang’s enthusiastic musicality makes a strong impression at the Sydney Opera House, in Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto no. 2 and Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

The Uzbek pianist returns to Kansas City for a wonderful recital including Dilorom Saidaminova’s The Walls of Ancient Bukhara. 

The Uzbek pianist reunites with Semyon Bychkov and the Czech Philharmonic to perform Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto, a piece fast becoming Abduraimov’s signature work.
