Overview
The National Philharmonic of Russia does its artistic heritage proud, making its music exciting to hear. Spivakov and his musicians perform the sort of full-throttle eloquence possible only with such a larger and remarkably accomplished orchestra. Their playing is brilliant and precise. The popular piano soloist, Denis Matsuev, winner of the international Tchaikovsky Competition, is no stranger to Music Festival’s audience and we welcome him back once again.
“Perhaps Matsuev is the new Horowitz.”
– London Times
“Each orchestra member of the National Philharmonic is virtuosic, inspired and unforgettable.”
– Le Monde, Paris
