RFH, Philharmonia/Tugan Sokhiev on Thursday 31 March, with Sergey Khachatryan as the outstanding soloist in Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto, awakening memories of his Proms performance of the same work in 2005. A resounding ovation brought an encore of the Bach Chaconne – intense, moving, and full of the subtlest dynamics. You could have heard a pin drop.
Met him afterwards – a charming, modest young man.
