Described by the Chicago Classical Review as “one of the most technically equipped pianists of our time”, virtuosic pianist Denis Kozhukhin performs the dramatic Piano Concerto No.1 by Brahms, a work which encompasses music of brooding power and romantic tenderness.
Renowned for his epic tone poems, Richard Strauss’ Ein Heldenlebencloses the series with one of his signature masterpieces. Under the baton of Vasily Petrenko, this colossal orchestral work depicts the story of a hero grappling with life’s adversities.
