Programme

Concert information

For Tchaikovsky, Mozart was 鈥渢he Christ of music鈥 鈥 a vision of beauty and purity that he could never hope to match. And Mozart鈥檚 Piano Concerto No.12 certainly makes a wondrously intimate contrast to the epic struggle and heady passions of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 deliriously romantic Fifth Symphony, to say nothing of Rachmaninov鈥檚 atmospheric study in musical monochrome, The Isle of the Dead. But there are some startling surprises beneath Mozart鈥檚 lace cravat; and if anyone can draw them out, it鈥檚 pianist extraordinaire C茅dric Tiberghien, just as 大象传媒 SSO Artist-in-Association Matthias Pintscher will bring a composer鈥檚 insight to Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky鈥檚 two landmarks of Russian romanticism.

Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
