Aziz Shokhakimov in Strasbourg
9th Jun 2025
Ahead of a performance of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring earlier this spring, the Music Director of the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg sat down with Presto to discuss his pre- and post-concert routines, building a relationship with the city and its orchestra, and their new recording of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé on Warner Classics.

In an impossibly distinguished field the young Uzbek conductor Aziz Shokhakimov has an ease and certainly a ‘nose’ for this music that cannot be denied...The playing is free and pliant, too, full of subtle shadings – in a word ‘idiomatic’ – and for that we must also credit Shokhakimov who forces absolutely nothing.
