Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 – Ivo Pogorelich
20 years from the death of Giorgos Sicilianos

																Ivo Pogorelich belongs to the artists who create extreme feelings among the audience. There are auditors who are passionate with his daring artistic choices, while others are more reserved towards them; yet nobody can remain indifferent about his performances, way more when he interprets a great concerto such as Rachmnaninoff's second. Vasilis Christopoulos is one of the few conductors that are able to decode Sergei Rachmnaninoff's music's essence and to reveal all dimensions of its narrative and emotional richness without falling into superficial, passionate explosions. The concert programme complements a jewel of the literary Greek production, the Eight Miniatures by Giorgos Sicilianos, a composer who followed the imperatives of music modernism, always with a highly eclectic spirit.
