In second place is Yannick Nézet-Séguin, followed by Paavo Järvi, Klaus Makela, and Simon Rattle. Makela appeared in the top five for the first time, while Gergiev, close to President Putin, left outside the top 10 due to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

Turning to pianists, Yuja Wang tops the list in terms of number of performances, followed by Daniil Trifonov and Yefim Bronfman. Violinists are Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Renaud Capuçon, and Leonidas Kavakos, in that order.
