A grand romantic program where a powerful choir merges with symphonic grandeur. The second piano concerto by Rachmaninoff features soloist Alicia Levina, while Tchaikovsky's cantata "Moscow" adds drama and solemnity. An evening for those who love rich sound, clear melodies, and the vibrant energy of the hall. There are concerts after which an inner resonance lingers: familiar themes suddenly sound larger, and the choir is perceived as a separate character. On this evening, the stage features Soloists, the Choir, and the Symphony Orchestra of the Capella of St. Petersburg conducted by Ilya Derbilov. The program is built on two different poles of Russian academic music. First - Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor: broad melodies, rapid emotional shifts, transparent lyrical episodes, and striking bursts of the full ensemble. The solo part is led by Alicia Levina, and here it is particularly interesting to observe how the piano both argues with the orchestra and leads it, gathering climaxes into a single flow. The second part is Tchaikovsky's cantata "Moscow" based on a text by A. Maikov. This is a rare genre for a philharmonic evening: a vocal-symphonic canvas where meaning is born from the combination of word and sound. The choir brings forth the main line, while the orchestra enhances the contrasts - from chamber intimacy to grand expansiveness. Find other events in St. Petersburg on KudaGo.
