Rachmaninoff’s Concertos

The marathon performance of all five compositions for piano and orchestra written by Sergei Rachmaninoff in two consecutive concerts by the same soloist is not something that everyone can achieve; on the contrary, there are very few pianists who possess the intellectual, mental and virtuosic qualities to achieve such an exploit and –if not more important– to leave a substantial interpretative imprint on these five gigantic works. The Russian pianist Denis Kozhukhin undoubtedly belongs to the elite of virtuosos who belong to this elite; this makes his two concerts within the framework of the Spring Festival destined to be an extraordinary and unforgotten soiree, which no auditor should miss!
