SUMMARY:Rachmaninov\, Beethoven & Borodin
DESCRIPTION:The second concert in our 60th Anniversary Beethoven-themed season is ‘Radiant and Resolute’ – a title that truly encapsulates the three pieces we will be performing! \nFirst up is a double bill from two Russian Romantic composers – Borodin’s ‘Polovtsian Dances’ from his opera Prince Igor\, and Rachmaninov’s ‘Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini’. We are fortunate enough to be joined by ‘profoundly gifted’ (Gramophone) pianist Katya Apekisheva for this piece\, and are both very lucky and delighted to perform alongside her. \nThese bright and sparkling pieces will set the stage for Beethoven’s third symphony\, the ‘Eroica.’ Originally dedicated to Napoleon and the ideals of the French Revolution\, Beethoven may have torn the sheet music to shreds when he heard Napoleon declared himself emperor\, but the power behind the music still survives. \nProgramme: \n\nBorodin: ‘Polovtsian Dances’ from Prince Igor\nRachmaninov: ‘Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini’\nBeethoven: Symphony No.3 ‘Eroica’\n\nConductor: Bjorn Bantock\nPiano: Katya Apekisheva (read Katya’s biography here)
