“[Lugansky’s] performance blazes with conviction, a propulsion and energy finely complemented with an innate sense of poetry.”
— Gramophone
Former Baltimore Symphony Orchestra music director Yuri Temirkanov returns with his St. Petersburg Philharmonic, which Washington Performing Arts has presented since its pre-Perestroika days as the Leningrad Philharmonic. “The orchestra is a Russian national treasure,” said the Washington Post, and “conductor Yuri Temirkanov one of the best in the world.” The ensemble, known for its performances of the Russian masters, is joined by noted interpreter Nikolai Lugansky, about whom the Guardian wrote, “Rachmaninoff just doesn’t get any better than this.”
