Performer: Seong-Jin Cho

In his busy Mariinsky schedule, Valery Gergiev squeezes in a visit to the Munich Philharmonic, joined by poetic pianist Seong-Jin Cho. 

Pastoral repose and granitic grandeur in an awe-inspiring performance of Sibelius' Second Symphony. 

Making his Proms debut, Cristian Măcelaru opened the evening with music from his countryman, Constantin Silvestri, before tackling Prokofiev and Rachmaninov.

Gianandrea Noseda's Shostakovich symphony cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra took us right back to the composer's student days, with the punchy First. 

Seong-Jin Cho's mixture of virtuosic and poetic dispositions, of fierce and restraint temperaments were constantly present during the entire recital.

The European Union Youth Orchestra confirms its exceptional quality in Zubel and Tchaikovsky. In Chopin, Seong-Jin Cho shows why he is a rising star of distinction.
