Benjamin Yusupov: Festive Pulse
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:Piano Concerto No. 1 in B minor op. 23
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:Symphony No. 6 in B minor op. 74 "Pathétique"
What is the old Hollywood rule? Start with an earthquake – and then build up slowly! In this spirit, a magnificent orchestral fireworks display opens this guest performance, namely the compelling work "Festive Pulse" by Benjamin Yusupov. The cited maxim also applies to the other two works of the evening: to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's famous B minor Piano Concerto, featuring the fantastic Alexander Malofeev, born in 2001, as soloist, and also to the immortal "Pathétique": the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and Julian Rachlin at the conductor's podium ensure that the symphony, concerto, and opening piece will all unfold a crescendo of musical energy leading up to their respective finales.
