The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra gladly welcomes on stage the exceptional Cypriot pianist Manolis Neophytou and the acclaimed maestro Leonardo Catalanotto to perform works by two highly prominent composers of Russian musical romanticism: Sergei Rachmaninov and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Rachmaninov’s Piano concerto no. 2, premiered in 1901 with the composer on the piano, is one of the most technically challenging concertos ever written. The work abounds in affective ideas and tender charm, with the piano assertively taking the role of a second orchestra.
Tchaikovsky’s crowning Symphony no. 6, premiered in 1893 under the composer’s baton, falls nothing short of passionate emotional extremes, from somber moods to light and graceful moments, hence its title “passionate”.
