Work: Piano Concerto no. 1 in B flat minor, Op.23

Gianandrea Noseda conducts the New York Philharmonic in a lovingly crafted, exhilarating rendition of Shostakovich’s gargantuan Fourth Symphony. 

Two contemporary works pave the way for a big Tchaikovsky pairing at the Seoul Arts Center, with Yekwon Sunwoo joining the Hong Kong Philharmonic for the First Piano Concerto. 

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