Performer: Nikolai Lugansky

Ludovic Morlot conducts the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra in three classics from the Romantic era: Berlioz, Chopin and Schumann. 

Nikolai Lugansky's barnstorming performance of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto is the centrepiece of the Philharmonia's end-of-season concert.

The RPO, in great form under Petrenko, deliver exciting Auerbach and propulsive Elgar, with Lugansky shining bright in Rachmaninov. 

Nikolai Lugansky demonstrates variety and depth, with lyrical melodies, ringing bells and crazy virtuosity in a captivating all-Rachmaninov recital at Wigmore Hall. 

Challenged with a demanding programme of Beethoven, Franck and Rachmaninov, the Russian pianist gave proof of his personal, telluric approach to intense repertoire.

Rimsky-Korsakov and Rachmaninov may be bread-and-butter repertoire for pianist Nikolai Lugansky and conductor Tugan Sokhiev, but the stellar presentation at this Berlin Philharmonic concert was Chausson's Symphony in B flat major.

The Reims summer music festival returns this June, and includes appearances from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Nikolai Lugansky, Julia Fischer, Ben Grosvenor and the Percussions de Strasbourg.

The demonic Dies irae motif haunts many of Rachmaninov’s compositions – but what meaning did this Catholic hymn have for the Russian composer?

The Russian pianist discusses the challenges in Rachmaninov's music, the imagery in the Études-tableaux and champions the lesser known concertos.
