Serguei Rachmaninov did not like the piano

Description

Through some of his most beautiful lieder and several Études-tableaux for piano, this lecture-concert invites you to discover the fascinating universe of Sergueï Rachmaninov. Composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor, he is often associated with late Romanticism. Yet, behind his generous melodies and enchanting lyricism lies a creator deeply rooted in the artistic upheavals of the 20th century. Between musical interpretation, biographical anecdotes, and historical insights, we will take a new look at a musician more modern and daring than often imagined.
