Kahchun Wong and Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra excel at Summer Muza festival

Daniele Rustioni pairs orchestral music of Verdi and Wagner in his concert with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, prior to taking up the post of Guest Principal Conductor in April.

Richard Jones directs a new production at Tokyo's New National Theatre which lucidly articulates the structure of Berg’s expressionist music.

Who would think that a symphony concert featuring Schoenberg and Dutilleux would sell out? Well, it did – in Tokyo. Bravo to the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra for its daring programming.

Pin sharp playing and pin sharp acoustics combine to form a high quality reading of Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 27 and Shostakovich's Symphony no. 15, one of the quirkiest of symphonies.

A world premiere by Wang Chenwei, familiar Chopin and a rare outing for Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta make for satisfying fare in Jahcun Wong’s Singapore Symphony programme.

Viktoria Mullova is a superb soloist in Brahms' Violin Concerto, while an orchestra full of soloists play Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra with Kahchun Wong presiding.
