German Symphony Orchestra Berlin / Jean-Yves Thibaudet / Tugan Sokhiev by Shostakovich, Khachaturian, A., Mendelssohn, Fra (2015/2015), Dirigent Tugan Sokhiev, Laeiszhalle, Hamburg, Germany

Transparency, structural conciseness and plasticity are the attributes that are associated with the German Symphony Orchestra Berlin. With its new chief conductor Tugan Sokhiev, who was also appointed music director of the traditional Bolshoi Theater in January 2014, and the dazzling pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, the orchestra has the rarely played piano concerto by Aram Khachaturian with them. In the second half of the concert, the orchestra turns to the German repertoire with Felix Mendelssohn's 4th Symphony.
