Richard Strauss, Korngold, and Mahler - three composers whose works reveal the power and drama of the symphonic tradition. Performed by the RNO under the direction of Alexander Rudin and soloist Ravil Islyamov, this music will sound fresh, tense, and truly grand. On this evening, listeners will encounter works by three authors, each of whom has influenced the development of symphonic music in their own way. The concert program is structured to showcase the contrasts, expressiveness, and diversity of the sound language of composers from different eras and temperaments. The Russian National Orchestra will perform under the baton of Alexander Rudin - a conductor known for his thoughtful approach and attention to stylistic accuracy. The concert soloist is violinist Ravil Islyamov, whose participation is especially important for the performance of Korngold's Violin Concerto. This piece, written in the 20th century, features delicate melodies and rich harmonies, combining romantic expressiveness with cinematic grandeur. The evening will begin with Richard Strauss's symphonic poem «Don Juan», full of fire, passion, and swift movement. The composer literally «paints» the character of the hero, using the orchestral palette as an artist's brush. To conclude, Mahler's Symphony will be performed. Even without specifying the number, it is clear that listeners can expect a grand, philosophical, and emotionally rich work that demands full commitment from the performers. Such a concert is worth attending for those who appreciate large forms, vivid orchestral writing, and lively, dynamic performance. Ideas on where to go in Moscow are collected on our website.
