Public

Piano Concerto No. 2, op. 18

Approved

The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra at the final concert of the MV Festival: with Prokofiev's Fifth Piano Concerto and Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, interpreted by Anna Vinnitskaya, conducted by Juraj Valčuha.

Great Sergei
The Slovakian conductor Juraj Valčuha and the Russian pianist Anna Vinnitskaya, who lives in Hamburg, have been closely associated with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra for several years. Now they are teaming up to bring "their Sergejs" to the stage.

Outstandingly beautiful: Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos
The first Sergej (Rachmaninoff) would have turned 150 this year and is a celebration for all pianists. A celebrated keyboard lion himself, he wrote his guild four outstandingly beautiful and exceptionally difficult to play piano concertos.
While Vinnitskaya begins her Rachmaninoff birthday marathon with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra with the rarely played Concerto in G minor No. 4 , the more well-known Concerto No. 2 in C minor is on the program at the end of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, which has also already been performed in a recording with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra .

Symphony of Peace: Prokofiev 5
The second Sergei (Prokofiev) created a feast for every orchestra with his monumental Fifth Symphony. It is dedicated to the "triumph of the human spirit" - which, interpreted benevolently, can be understood as a utopia of humanity and international understanding in the dark turmoil of the Second World War. In any case, the premiere of the work on January 13, 1945, shortly after the Red Army's victory on the Vistula, was fateful. "How many meaningful and symbolic things came out," remembers Swjatoslav Richter.
