Andris Nelsons is one of the most sought-after young conductors on the international scene today and once again served notice of his extraordinary talent in Summer 2011 when he conducted two concerts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam at the prestigious Lucerne Festival. This concert, available on DVD and Blu-ray features, amongst a programme of Rimsky-Korsakov, Beethoven and Dvořák, the Grammy Award-winning pianist Yefim Bronfman performing Beethoven’s majestic Fifth Piano Concerto and Chopin’s Etude in F major. Andris Nelsons is a regular conductor with many of the world’s top orchestras. Total: 110 minutes DVD: DTS 5.1, PCM Stereo 16:9, HD “every gesture and expression dovetails with what we hear. Subtle yet soaring, these orchestral performances are shaped by a conductor who enjoys every second of his job, and equally enjoys the musicians before him - the superb Concertgebouw players, peerless in technical finesse and the elegant colouring of phrase and line.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2012 *** “Nelsons is engrossed in the music, and it’s impossible not to succumb to his obvious and infectious enthusiasm...That’s one of the unexpected joys of this concert; everyone is clearly having fun...A delightful overture, a competent concerto, and a Scheherazade to die for.” MusicWeb International, July 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

NTSC · 16:9, DVD: PCM Stereo Region code: 0, FSK: all audiences Booklet notes: English Running time: 79 mins Nikolai Lugansky is one of the most talented pianists of his generation.The announcement of his concerts always fills the most prestigious venues worldwide. Each year he gives more than 100 concerts in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Vienna, Salzburg, Berlin (the Philharmonic), Brussels, Geneva, New York,Tokyo…His pianistic technique is distinguished, elegant, brilliant, and it is this unequal talent which makes the greatest orchestras call upon him. Nikolai Lugansky is also one of the most renowned specialists of the Russian repertoire, and he offers us here some of those gems in his first recordings for 4 years! This DVD should please his many fans. “The articulation…is breathtaking: such clarity for the turns of Prokofiev's 'Masks', such speed so well caught by the camerawork on fingers and blue-tinged keys in Liszt's 'Feux follets', such strength in the cascades of No. 10 and the glitter of Chopin's Etude Op. 10 No. 9.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2009 **** “"Vallée d’Obermann” sounds turgid...but “La Campanella” is rescued by Lugansky’s impeccable technical control.” Financial Times, 16th December 2011 ** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
