Description

Tugan Sokhiev conducting Yefim Bronfman piano Sergueï Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27 Two masterpieces by Sergueï Rachmaninov bring together Tugan Sokhiev and pianist Yefim Bronfman, who makes his debut with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Truly a Everest of the piano repertoire, Piano Concerto No. 3 combines extraordinary virtuosity with a lyricism of overwhelming intensity. Yefim Bronfman's musical authority, sound power, and depth of interpretation make him one of his greatest interpreters. In the second part, Tugan Sokhiev, principal conductor and artistic advisor of the OSR, conducts the majestic Symphony No. 2, a work of renewal for Rachmaninov after the failure of his Symphony No. 1. Deploying an inexhaustible melodic breath, sumptuous orchestration, and ardent romanticism, this score is among the most appreciated by the composer. An exceptional concert bringing together two great artists around one of the greatest Russian composers.
