Piano Concerto No. 2, op. 18

Approved

Led by our guest conductor ZHANG Xian, this concert takes you on a journey that spans the vastly different territories of classical music of the long nineteenth century, from classical to romantic, light to dark, absurd to brooding. Stendhal probably came up with the best description of L’ITALIANA IN ALGERI: “total organised madness”. Rossini was at the height of his inventive powers when he wrote this opera, and the audiences in Venice in 1813 went completely mad for it. Indeed, the overture offers a glimpse of the madness, hilarity, and a sense of the surreal that permeate the entire opera, with its courageous heroine, Isabella, at the centre of a maelstrom of confusion, suffused throughout with humour and unaffected tenderness. In a similarly remarkable creative spurt, Mozart completed his last three symphonies within a few months in 1788, three years before his untimely death. Symphony No. 39 may, despite the passionate outbursts in its slow movement, be the most urbane of the composer’s final trio of symphonies, and it is full of wide, flowing melodies. 
Finally, the new-generation pianist Tim Zhang presents an irresistible work that rounds the evening off in an explosion of passion, energy, and exuberance. A staple of heroic pianists ever since its premiere in 1901, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is sheer romantic drama — from its opening chords to its glorious melodies. You will certainly learn how this great composer-pianist’s virtuosity and creative brilliance changed the music world forever as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth this year.

在客席指挥张弦的带领下，本场音乐会将带您巡游音乐中的“漫长十九世纪”，领略其中迥然相异的地域风貌：从古典到浪漫，光明到黑暗，荒诞不羁到沉思默想……司汤达或许找到了对于《意大利女郎在阿尔及尔》序曲的最佳描述：“全然有序的疯狂”。罗西尼写下这部歌剧时正处于其创造力顶峰，1813年的威尼斯观众为之癫狂。勇敢的女主角伊莎贝拉身处混乱漩涡的中心，而序曲已预示那贯穿全剧的疯狂、欢闹和超现实感。同样在灵感喷薄盛期，莫扎特在几个月内完成了他最后的三部交响曲。其中的第39号交响曲是三部中最端庄儒雅的，宽广流畅的旋律与慢乐章中的激情爆发相映成趣。

今晚的重心则是拉赫玛尼诺夫的第二钢琴协奏曲——一部纯粹的浪漫剧诗。新生代钢琴家张浩天将再现其中的非凡激情、能量和丰沛情感。在我们庆祝拉赫玛尼诺夫诞辰150周年之际，您一定会对这位传奇作曲家、钢琴家的精湛技艺和创造力发出由衷赞叹。
