Balances are useful. They help us to understand if the direction taken is the correct one, or possibly change course. Concerning Emmanuel Tjeknavorian's first Season as Music Director of the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, we will remember of course the Abbiati Award as Best Conductor of the Year, the nomination among the “People of the Year” according to Classic Voice magazine and tons of enthusiastic reviews that enhance the musical and artistic sinergy between Tjeknavorian and the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano.

We inaugurate the 2025/26 Season with Rudolf Buchbinder, a living legend who seems to have often spoken with the great composers of the nineteenth century, starting with Johannes Brahms, whose Concerto No. 1 in D minor he proposes, with his precious reading, is so authoritative that it seems suggested by Brahms himself. 
A score that, as Tjeknavorian states,

and is flanked by the second stage of the journey that began last year with the triad of Tchaikovsky's last symphonies, with the Fifth, in which a musical discourse is developed that wants to represent Tchaikovsky's struggle with destiny, an unequal contest where the man’s will succumbs miserably to the power of fate.
