Glasgow City Halls
鈥淐rystalline clarity鈥; 鈥渂ravura power鈥; 鈥渟o mighty as to sweep away any concerns鈥 鈥 critics can sometimes be lost for words when pianist Denis Kozhukhin performs with the 成人论坛 Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and there鈥檚 a good reason why he鈥檚 one of our favourite regular guests. Imagine all that artistry (and all that chemistry) in Rachmaninov鈥檚 sweeping Fourth Piano Concerto. That鈥檚 the centrepiece of a concert that opens with Matthias Pintscher conducting his own music, plus something new and powerful from his student Ricardo Ferro, before plunging into the deliriously Romantic world of Schoenberg鈥檚 Pell茅as und M茅lisande. This lush orchestral saga of doomed love drove audiences wild in Mahler鈥檚 Vienna, and you鈥檙e about to hear why.
