SIBELIUS AND RACHMANINOV
The world's best piano concert? In Rachmaninov's grandiose Piano Concerto No. 2, the listener is thrown into a rushing sea of ​​emotions of breakneck virtuosity and catchy melodies to a degree that time and again excites audiences worldwide. Star pianist Denis Kozhukhin sits at the piano.

Sibelius is the Nordic region's greatest symphonist. Symphony No. 3 exudes beauty, sadness and a farewell to the old romantic world. Combined with Sibelius' special Finnish tone, the symphony is completely unique in its description of an upheaval period in the years leading up to the First World War.

The war had broken out when French Lili Boulanger composed the poetic tone poem D'un soir triste ( From a sad evening ). The sadness of the music is reflected in the composer's own life. Boulanger herself died on a sad evening shortly after in 1918. She was only 24 years old.

On the conductor's podium stands a dear friend of the orchestra - German Christoph Gedschold. Together with the Russian piano virtuoso Denis Kozhukhin, the concert is completed with Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2. The melodious middle movement is the tearjerker above them all. Surrounded by fierce drama, powerful virtuosity and a final joy of life, the concert expresses human emotions at their strongest.


The concert is supported by the Danish Research Foundation.

SIBELIUS OG RACHMANINOV
Verdens bedste klaverkoncert? I Rachmaninovs storladne klaverkoncert nr. 2 bliver lytteren kastet ud i et brusende følelseshav af halsbrækkende virtuositet og iørefaldende melodier i en grad, der gang på gang begejstrer publikum verden over. Ved klaveret sidder stjernepianisten Denis Kozhukhin.

Sibelius er Nordens største symfoniker. Symfoni nr. 3 emmer af skønhed, vemod og et farvel til den gamle romantiske verden. Kombineret med Sibelius’ særlige finske tone er symfonien helt unik i sin beskrivelse af en omvæltende periode i årene op til 1. Verdenskrig.

Krigen var brudt ud, da franske Lili Boulanger komponerede det poetiske tonedigt D’un soir triste (Fra en trist aften). Musikkens sørgmodighed reflek­teres i komponistens eget liv. Boulanger døde selv på en bedrøvelig aften kort efter i 1918. Hun blev blot 24 år.

På dirigentpodiet står en kær ven af orkestret – tyske Christoph Gedschold. Sammen med den russiske klavervirtuos Denis Kozhukhin fuldendes koncerten med Rachmaninovs klaverkoncert nr. 2. Den melodiøse midtersats er tåreperseren over dem alle. Omkranset af heftigt drama, slagkraftig virtuositet og en afsluttende livsglæde udtrykker koncerten de menneskelige følelser, når de er allerstærkest.


Koncerten er støttet af Den Danske Forskningsfond.
