The Russian repertoire is one of the endlessly rich chapters of music history: for every composer, there is an exciting, sovereign world. How many faces does Slavic music contain? It is hard to say. One thing is for sure: the three portraits to be brought to life by the pieces in this concert are certainly among the most significant.
After the Romanticism of Tchaikovsky, we have Prokofiev, who had already embarked on his Neo-Classical path when he debuted his Violin Concerto No.1 in D major in 1923. The evening's soloist will be the Japanese German Arabella Steinbacher. Steinbacher was born in Munich and has trained under such masters as Ivry Gitlis and Dorothy DeLay.
During the concert that saw the world premiere of Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1 in D major, the audience witnessed the conducting debut of Stravinsky, who also features in tonight's programme. Zsolt Hamar will conduct the strikingly moving, sparklingly virtuoso puppet theatre-burlesque Petrushka, one of three ballet masterpieces from Prokofiev's so-called 'Russian period'. The composer originally created the piece in 1910-11 for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, before rewriting it in 1947. In this evening's performance, the audience will enjoy the revised version of the piece.
