Info zu Rachmaninoff Live – The Piano Concertos & The Paganini Rhapsody (Live)

Im Oktober 2023 präsentierten Mikhail Pletnev und das neu gegründete Rachmaninoff International Orchestra (RIO) unter der Leitung von Kent Nagano eine außergewöhnliche Aufführung aller vier Klavierkonzerte von Rachmaninoff sowie die Rhapsodie über ein Thema von Paganini. Das Jahr 2023 markierte den 150. Geburtstag des Komponisten Sergei Rachmaninoff, dessen Werke aufgrund ihrer Dramatik, Leidenschaft und technischen Raffinesse geschätzt werden. Im Klavierrepertoire gibt es kaum eine größere Herausforderung als die Aufführung aller Klavierkonzerte von Rachmaninoff - und kaum einen Künstler, der dieser Aufgabe besser gewachsen wäre als Mikhail Pletnev. Abgerundet wurde dieses Konzert durch Kent Nagano, der Pletnev und das Orchester mit gewohnt souveräner Hand und unerschütterlichem Vertrauen leitete. Dies ist die zweite Veröffentlichung und das erste öffentliche Konzert des neu gegründeten Rachmaninoff International Orchestra, benannt nach dem Komponisten, Pianisten und Dirigenten Sergei Rachmaninoff. Wie sein Namensgeber ist auch das Rachmaninoff International Orchestra der künstlerischen Exzellenz verpflichtet.

Mikhail Pletnev
is recognised as one of the finest artists of our time. He won the Gold Medal and First Prize in the 1978 International Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 21, which brought him early recognition throughout the world. In 1990 he founded the Russian National Orchestra, joined by the best artists, and later founded the Mikhail Pletnev Fund, which supports major national cultural projects. A member of the Russian Cultural Council, in 2007 he received the President’s Award for his contribution to the country’s artistic life. The cumulative roles of pianist, conductor and composer are all important aspects of his life as an artist. However, he has the humility to always consider himself as a simple musician.

The Verbier Festival
is an international classical music event that takes place each summer in the mountain town of Verbier, Switzerland. The Festival’s mission is to build a community of exchange between great masters and young artists from all over the world and to be a leader in its field by providing meaningful music education programmes.

Launched in 1994, and now globally renowned, the Festival welcomes audiences with a distinctive and exhilarating blend of events, both large-scale and intimate. Audiences from around the globe come to experience music-making at the highest level in a setting that brings them close to star performers, rising talent and a complete process of learning, rehearsal and performance.

The Festival’s Academy is its respiratory system—a laboratory where future talents are discovered and nurtured. It sets the gold standard for the training of emerging soloists, chamber and orchestral musicians, singers and conductors. Each summer, audiences witness these musicians in action at more than 100 masterclasses, rehearsals and performances. The Verbier Festival Orchestra has become a rite of passage for today’s exceptional young orchestral musicians and the Academy’s programmes for soloists, chamber musicians and singers include an impressive list of alumni from over 60 countries who have been engaged by the world’s leading concert presenters since their time in Verbier.
