Performer: Tugan Sokhiev

Hilary Hahn celebrates Dvořák’s birthday at the Elbphilharmonie with the Vienna Philharmonic and Tugan Sokhiev.

Tugan Sokhiev memorably debuts with The Cleveland Orchestra to lead a recent concerto for English horn and Mahler’s Tragic.

How to bring off the most romantic work of the last great Romantic composer, all 60 minutes of it? Send for Tugan Sokhiev. 

Tugan Sokhiev leads the Philadelphia Orchestra in a powerful performance of Shostakovich’s haunting Fourth Symphony. Shorter pieces by Gabrieli and Britten offer an enjoyable prelude.

The French pianist gives a performance of Prokofiev's Second Piano Concerto to remember; Tugan Sokhiev and an inconsistent Santa Cecilia thrill in Tchaikovsky. 

If in heaven there are indeed harps, then it would be hard to imagine a better angel to recruit than Anneleen Lenaerts, who performed Glière's concerto with her Philharmonic brothers and sisters in arms in the Musikverein. 

The appointment follows a growing relationship between the Ossetian conductor and the Geneva-based orchestra that began in 2024.
