Russian fire – Slavic Soul VII
Sergei Rachmaninov's music needs no introduction; a well-spring of emotions, authentic passion, exhilarating harmonic dramaturgy, glorious orchestration and moving melodies, the Russian composer’s works never fail to speak to the listener’s soul with an enviable immediacy. The fiery First Piano Concerto is played by the talented Kornilios Michailidis, while the effulgent Second Symphony is conducted by Juraj Valcuha, the Slovenian maestro who needs no introduction for Greek audiences.
