Description:
Vladimir Ashkenazy is best known in the States for his phenomenal piano playing -- though the Dutch have a different take on him. For over twenty-five years, this Russian-born virtuoso has brought incendiary performances of orchestral classics to the Netherlands -- as a conductor. Tonight, this extraordinary musician is on the conductor's podium with the world-class Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and an all-Sibelius program.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide makes performances from the Netherlands available to audiences in the US and around the world. RNW is the international public broadcaster of the Netherlands and produces and distributes public affairs and cultural programming worldwide, including the weekly classical music series "Live! at the Concertgebouw."
