Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 – Denis Matsuev

20 years from the death of Yorgos Sicilianos

Fri. 21 November 2025 20:30

Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall

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. Denis Matsuev, one of the most competent representatives of the great Russian piano School of our days, demonstrates equal virtue in combination with a titanic domination to the piano. The concert programme complements a jewel of the literary Greek production, the Eight miniatures by Yorgos Sicilianos, a composer who followed the imperatives of music modernism, always with a highly eclectic spirit.
