Rozhdestvensky with the Hong Kong Philharmonic - very comfortable but a little wobbly

The programme billed him as "The Legend". Russian conductor Gennadi Rozhdesvensky - tongue-twister of a name that gave me lots of trouble as an upstart radio announcer - led the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra in an all-Tchaikovsky programme.  Joining him in the Piano Concerto No. 2 in G, Op. 44 was his wife, pianist Viktoria Postnikova.  The Manfred Symphony, Op. 58, took up the entire second half of the programme.  The experience was like walking on a thick carpet - very comfortable, but a little wobbly.  Read my full review at Bachtrack.
