Oberrhein Concert Series – Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra & Alexander Melnikov

Description

Introduction lecture with Racheli Rotstein one hour before the concert in the small hall. Susanne von Gutzeit violin Jeroen Berwaerts trumpet Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra Alexander Melnikov piano and conductor Alexander Melnikov is a pianist of another dimension. His playing is crystal clear, surprisingly humorous, and he handles even the most intricate difficulties with seemingly effortless ease. His interpretations are spectacular, clever, and in the best sense, sensational. He regularly performs with the most important orchestras, such as the Gewandhaus Orchestra or the Philadelphia Orchestra. Melnikov sets standards not only in the standard repertoire but also in historical performance practice. With this rare combination, he lends Mendelssohn's double concerto a special shine together with violinist Susanne von Gutzeit. And the ironic-humorous undertones of the first Shostakovich concerto are rarely heard with such sparkling esprit – also thanks to Jeroen Berwaerts' lively trumpet escapades. In short: a concert of the highest class. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
Concerto for Violin, Piano, and Orchestra in D minor Sergei Prokofiev
Visions fugitives op. 22 (selection)
Arranged for strings Dmitri Shostakovich
