Shao-chia LÜ, Stephen HOUGH & NSO: 14 Romances, op. 34 ISR 55 Rachmaninoff (+2 More)

The concert starts with Sergei RACHMANINOFF's Vocalise.The weeping and cantabile melody is played expressively among the various instrument sections. Next, RACHMANINOFF's Piano Concerto No. 4 in g minor will be played by pianist Stephen HOUGH, who has performed in Taiwan many times and impressed Taiwanese fans. RACHMANINOFF spent more than a decade revising this work, and it is rarely performed. You shouldn't miss this great opportunity to hear it. In the second half, Shao-c hia LÜ, the Conductor Emeritus of the National Symphony Orchestra, will lead the orchestra, presenting Dmitri SHOSTAKOVICH's Symphony No. 8. This epic masterpiece was completed during World War II. It is tragic and full of dramatic tension, leading the audience through the dark valley, gradually revealing the dawn, and later turning sublime. Through these two great Russian giants,we will hear the different sounds of Russian classics.
