Great tunes, grand passions, an epic scale ⢠Rachmaninov’s Third Piano
Concerto has quite rightly become one of the best-loved pieces in the
classical repertoire. Tonight it is played for us by an outstanding young
Russian-Israeli pianist, making his CBSO debut. CBSO Assistant Conductor Michael Seal frames the concerto with two other Russian works that have stood the test of time. Shchedrin’s Naughty Limericks is a subversive, riotously entertaining work that shocked the Soviet authorities at its premiere in 1963, while Shostakovich’s exuberant First Symphony, composed when he was still in his teens, has a darker, sardonic humour that is entirely typical of this composer.
