Conductor:
Featuring:
Rachmaninoff
Piano Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp minor, Op. 1
R. Strauss
A Hero’s Life, Op. 40
Two outstanding orchestrators, two profoundly personal masterpieces and two world-renowned performers on a single evening. Robin Ticciati, music director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera, returns to the helm of the Budapest Festival Orchestra to conduct two monumental works from the turn of the 20th century. The concert opens with Rachmaninoff’s First Piano Concerto, a work that blends the composer’s youthful passion with the experience of a mature master. The soloist is the exceptionally gifted Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev (b. 2001). According to Riccardo Chailly, Malofeev possesses remarkable musical depth and technical mastery despite his young age. As the distinguished Italian newspaper Il Giornale wrote, he “embodies the piano mastery of the new millennium”. In the second half of the concert, Richard Strauss’s symphonic poem A Hero’s Life will be performed – a distorted musical self-portrait of the composer and, even more so, a vivid reflection of his surroundings.
