Classics 7: Thinking of Mother Russia

NOTE: THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE OF REPERTOIRE

 

Eckart Preu, conductor

Valentina Lisitsa, piano


Anton Arensky,

    Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky

Sergei Rachmaninoff, Piano Concerto No. 2

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 4 in F minor 


Rimski-Korsakov's student Anton Arensky would be forgotten if it wasn’t for this piece dedicated to Tchaikovsky. This charming, colorful and imaginative set of variations has beautiful dark moments, allusions to a Russian orthodox chant, and virtuosity. Rachmaninoff's piano concertos are famous for melodic beauty and breathtaking virtuosity, and  his Piano Concerto No. 2 is no exception.  Tchaikovsky's fourth symphony, dramatic and unorthodox in form, is among his most enduring works.

 

Listen to the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2
