En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Piano Concerto no. 4 (For the Left Hand), Op.53

A l'occasion de l'intégrale des concertos de Prokofiev à la Philharmonie par Gergiev et l'Orchestre du Mariinsky, cette deuxième soirée nous donne à entendre les concertos 4 et 5, par Sergueï Redkin et Vadim Kholodenko.  

Ravel and Prokofiev offer divergent views on the piano left-hand concerto, but fine performances ensure satisfying contrast.

Valery Gergiev led an athletic pilgrimage through composer-pianist Sergei Prokofiev’s five Piano Concerti, in numerical order, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

What on paper might have looked like a circus act – wheeling out three pianists to plough through Prokofiev’s five piano concertos – turned out to be a fascinating opportunity to compare and contrast.

As children, we all had our iconic heroes, famous mentors, or performers we would die to meet. It is not very often in life these dreams become reality; however, The Royal Conservatory Orchestra had the unforgettable opportunity to rehearse, study, and perform under the honorary Leon Fleisher.
