About the performance

Brilliant young Czech maestro Jakub Hrůša returns to the MSO with Dvořák’s subtly scored orchestral ballad, The Wood Dove, based on a Czech legend of infatuation and murder in a rural village. A muted funeral march, a typical Dvořákian wedding dance and the tragic epilogue, relieved by the song of the wood dove. Ukranian-born Vadim Gluzman is a superb violinist of the Russian school and his interpretation of the beloved Tchaikovsky concerto with its fiery virtuosity and wistful poetry is not to be missed.

Mussorgsky’s wrote his famous memorial to his dear friend, the artist Victor Harmann in the form of a suite of piano pieces depicting the composer “roving through the exhibition, now leisurely, now briskly, in order to come closer to a picture that had attracted his attention, and at times sadly, thinking of his departed friend.”

Ravel was on his own mission when he orchestrated the suite in 1922. With a strong experimental impulse he introduces new sounds with the saxophone and celeste, and explores the outermost reaches of instrumental possibilities in his search for new colours and contrasts. Revel in Ravel’s great 20th century orchestral showpiece.

Amazing but true: If Daniil Trifonov hadn’t started composing, he probably wouldn’t have become a pianist either. First there was composing, he likes to confess. The piano came later. So it is not surprising that composition and interpretation are equally important for Trifonov. This once again reveals the special position of the modest world star, for the double talents of composers and instrumental virtuosos are rare these days. In concert with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, Trifonov can now be heard in both of his professions. How much he let himself be inspired by the music of his famous ancestor Sergei Rachmaninov, he definitely doesn’t keep his mouth shut in his first piano concerto. As far as virtuosity, storm and urge are concerned, he cannot deny his role models and yet takes his very own Trifonovian path.
