The NHK Symphony Orchestra – Japan’s most famous professional orchestra – announced that Leif Ove Andsnes has been voted the Most Memorable Soloist of 2016 alongside Russian pianist Dennis Matsuev. The voting comes from the audience who particularly appreciated Leif Ove’s performances of Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the NHK Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Zinmann last November at the NHK hall in Tokyo.
