Winter dreams – Slavic Soul IV
With the kind support of the French Embassy in Athens and the French Institute, Greece
One of the greatest pianists of our age, celebrated for his interpretations of the contemporary repertoire and beyond, France's Pierre-Laurent Aimard joins forces with the Athens State Orchestra to perform Antonín Dvorák's charming piano concerto. And while the Czech composer's fellow-countryman, Bedrich Smetana, captures the flow of the Moldau with grace and sensitivity in Vltava, the harsh imagery of Tchaikovsky's First Symphony transports us to the harsh Russian winter.
