Restless Narratives and Fugitive Visions: Khatia Buniatishvili at Wigmore Hall

Despite the disruption, the musicians of the MSO under Chief Conductor Jaime Martín continue their interesting programme of Sutherland, Dvořák and Tchaikovsky.

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields give exciting performances at the Barbican, with idiosyncratic Mozart from Buniatishvili. 

Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto turns out to be a shipwreck for the Georgian pianist, despite an admirable Orchestre de Paris and conductor (Kirill Karabits). 

Khatia Buniatishvili may divide opinion, but for sheer visceral excitement she's hard to beat. Jun Märkl on tour with the Taiwan Philharmonic at Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie impresses in milder ways.

A most idiosyncratic version of Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto from Khatia Buniatishvili along with a notable performance of Sibelius' Second Symphony from the RPO, touring the United States under Mark Wigglesworth.
