Intérprete: Vladimir Ashkenazy

El octogenario Ashkenazy, a la batuta de la prestigiosa Philharmonia Orchestra, ofreció un concierto que irradió destellos de maestría y que contó con la presencia de la solista Elena Bashkirova.

La Philharmonia Orchestra, la violinista Esther Yoo y el aclamado director y pianista Vladimir Ashkenazy brindaron al público un programa conformado por dos grandes nombres del repertorio ruso: Tchaikovsky y Shostakovich.

La Philarmonia Orchestra con Ashkenazy al frente dedica el programa a la música de Sibelius.

In the exquisite singing line of the second movement, the appeal was not just in her beauty of tone but in the concentrated feeling Mullova brought to the shaping of each phrase.

Before launching his series Voices of Revolution with the Philharmonia Orchestra to mark the centenary of the Russian Revolution, Vladimir Ashkenazy recalls his experiences as a young Soviet pianist, his memories of Shostakovich and his witnessing history in the making.
