Symphonic Dances Op. 45 (arr. Inon Barnatan)

Cinderella Suite arr. Pletnev

Approvato

Plunge into the kaleidoscopic colours of Rachmaninov and Prokofiev with the piano duo of Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy.

Prokofiev’s Cinderella is a perennial favourite for ballet fans the world over. Its score overflows with kaleidoscopic orchestral colours as magical as the familiar tale.

It ranges from Cinderella’s fireside dreams through her magical transformation, and from a fearsome evocation of the clock striking midnight to the ecstasy of living happily ever after. And the score can glitter and glow just as much when played on two pianos in Mikhail Pletnev’s expert reimagining.

Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances could be its perfect foil. The exiled Russian composer envisioned it as a score for an abstract ballet and it was written in the same year as Cinderella, 1940.

It’s intensely driven music, stamped with nostalgia for Rachmaninov’s Russian childhood, his experiences of modern urban America and the impact of his contemporaries such as Ravel, Debussy and Stravinsky. It turned out to be Rachmaninov’s last work.

The London-based duo of Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy have been living and working together ever since their student days at the Royal College of Music. The pair have been described in The Guardian as creating ‘electrifying intimacy’.
