Pushkin’s poem Ruslan and Ludmila was the model for the opera of the same name by Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. Pushkin was supposed to write the libretto, but participation in a duel cost him his life. The popular Second Piano Concerto was premiered by Sergei Rachmaninoff in collaboration with his nephew Alexander Siloti in his conducting debut. The piece is dedicated to the neurologist Nikolai Dahl, who helped Rachmaninoff regain his strength after the unsuccessful premiere of the First Symphony left him mentally depressed for three years. The Russian triptych will close with a symphony by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which is a musical response to man’s struggle for fickle happiness. “Like a butterfly I fall into the fire and burn my wings…” The young pianist Olga Scheps, with Russian roots, is a crystal clear romantic; her performances bring emotions and often bring the listeners to tears. Her philharmonic debut will be conducted by the charming Leoš Svárovský.

English

Puškinova poéma Ruslan a Ľudmila bola predlohou rovnomennej opery Michaila Ivanoviča Glinku. Libreto mal písať Puškin, no účasť v dueli ho stála život. Obľúbený Druhý koncert pre klavír premiéroval Sergej Rachmaninov v spolupráci so svojim synovcom Alexandrom Silotim, debutujúcim dirigentom. Dielo je venované neurológovi Nikolaiovi Dahlovi, ktorý pomohol Rachmaninovi prísť ku sile po tom, čo ho na tri roky mentálne položila neúspešná premiéra Prvej symfónie. Ruský triptych uzavrie symfónia Piotra Iľjiča Čajkovského, ktorá je hudobnou reakciou na boj človeka o vrtkavé šťastie. „Ako motýľ padám do ohňa a pálim si krídla…“
Mladá klaviristka Olga Scheps s ruskými koreňmi je krištáľovo čistým romantikom, jej výkony prinášajú emócie a neraz pri nich poslucháči i zaslzia. Jej filharmonický debut povedie šarmantný Leoš Svárovský.
