Performer: Ray Chen

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra present a programme of Rossini, Paganini and Dvořák with Michele Mariotti conducting, but it’s Ray Chen who steals the show.

Elim Chan lead the Los Angeles Philharmonic through a high-powered program of Chinese and French music that began and ended with virtuoso showpieces written less than 30 years apart.

Chen plays a fine solo part in Bruch and delights with his encore; Orozco-Estrada and the LPO provide some good moments but fall short of their best form.

In an all Tchaikovsky programme, Ray Chen delivers a cracking account of the Violin Concerto while Stutzmann brings out all the drama of his Fifth Symphony.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski and the soloist Ray Chen offer the next instalment in a series showcasing the works of Stravinsky and their historical influences.

Ludovic Morlot makes a grand return to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a program of 20th-century works, highlighted by a masterful performance of Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto, with soloist Ray Chen.
