I was delighted when I listened to an amazing lyrical performance of the Brahms violin concerto today. The soloist was Sergey Khachatrian with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Sergey Khachatryan won First Prize at the International Jean Sibelius Competition in Helsinki in 2000, becoming the youngest ever winner in the history of the competition. In 2005 he claimed First Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels.
In recent seasons, Sergey has performed with the Südwestrundfunk Symphonieorchester (with Christoph Eschenbach), Bamberger Symphoniker (with Herbert Blomstedt and Jonathan Nott), Münchner Philharmoniker (with James Gaffigan), Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra (with Juraj Valčuha), Mariinsky Orchestra (with Valery Gergiev), and Orchestre de Paris (with Andris Nelsons and Gianandrea Noseda).
Here, for your enjoyment is the amazing performance that I heard today:
