How it all began - and how it ended. In the latest installment of their Rachmaninoff cycle, Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra will combine the Russian composer’s first works with his final opus. The journey begins in 1890–91, when the not-quite- 18-year-old Rachmaninoff presented a remarkable calling card with his First Piano Concerto: Romantic exuberance à la Grieg and Tchaikovsky meets an intellectual overview, rich invention combines with gripping dramatic ideas. At the same time, he also tried his hand at a first symphony, which, however, did not get beyond a single movement. But it’s something you really need to hear! When Rachmaninoff took stock of his life in 1940, three years before his death, with the magnificent Symphonic Dances, he quoted from his early works. The circle is complete, and - lo and behold - the beginning and the end have more in common than you might expect. The evening’s soloist will be the 22-year-old pianist Alexander Malofeev. Riccardo Chailly is spellbound by his talent and attests to his brilliant technique as well as a musical depth and maturity that he has rarely experienced.
