Father conducts, son shreds Brahms — classical music's most talented family feud goes public.
The father sets the tone, the son takes the solo. In Lausanne, two stars come together on stage who just happen to be from the same family. Jean-Jacques Kantorow, who conducts the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, opens the evening with Camille Saint-Saëns's Symphony n° 2. Alexandre Kantorow then joins him to perform Johannes Brahms's Piano Concerto No. 2.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Alexandre became the first French winner of the Tchaikovsky Competition in 2019; this 2024 Lausanne concert marks rare joint billing with his father.
Brahms's Second Piano Concerto was his longest and most symphonic, written decades after his first — Alexandre tackles it here at 25, roughly Brahms's age at composition.
