Prokofiev is revealed in this program widely and sharply contrasting: alongside sounds the early piano concerto with its bold energy and the monumental "Ivan the Terrible," grown from the music for Eisenstein's film. The evening combines the brilliance of the solo part, the power of the orchestra, and a large historical scale, showcasing the composer in the full strength of his conception. When the First Piano Concerto and the oratorio "Ivan the Terrible" meet in one program, the music of Sergei Prokofiev unfolds in several dimensions. Here is the urgency of a young author, the sharpness of rhythm, motor energy, the brightness of orchestral writing, and alongside it - a large-scale historical canvas, grown from film music and received a concert life. Such an evening helps to see the composer not fragmentarily, but in a large way, in the movement from virtuosic brilliance to epic statement. The First Piano Concerto in E-flat major is an early work, but already very characteristic. It features drive, boldness, youthful sharpness, and that special Prokofiev clarity that makes even the most complex episodes coherent and distinct. The soloist will be Elizaveta Ukrainka, and it is the piano part that becomes one of the key centers of attraction for the evening. For the listener, this is a meeting with music where virtuosity works as a language of character - sharp, urgent, brilliant. The second major part of the program is connected with the oratorio "Ivan the Terrible," created based on the music for Sergei Eisenstein's film in Stasevich's edition. Here Prokofiev thinks in different scales. Before the listener emerges a world of state will, internal tension, dramatic confrontations, and harsh historical imagery. This music acts powerfully precisely because it combines cinematic visibility, a powerful orchestral texture, and a large emotional gesture. At the podium is Alexander Chernushenko, on stage - the Symphony Orchestra of the St. Petersburg Cappella. Such a composition is important for the program, requiring both precision and scope, and the ability to maintain contrasts between.
