SUMMARY:Malofeev Plays Tchaikovsky
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Opening Night of our Classics Series greets this year’s listeners with Leonard Bernstein’s exuberant overture to Candide\, the witty operetta inspired by Voltaire’s satire of the same name. This bombastic kaleidoscope of musical styles contrasts with Richard Strauss’s famed Der Rosenkavalier Suite\, which captures motifs important to the romance of the opera’s plot and evokes an earlier era of splendid waltzes and courting rituals. The frenetic energy of Bernstein’s overture paired with Strauss’s scintillating\, late-Romantic suite sets the stage for the highlight of the evening—Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 1—which soars under Sasha Malofeev’s dazzling musicianship and brings us to the pinnacle of Opening Night. From its iconic\, thundering introductory theme to glittering passagework\, Malofeev brings this virtuosic work to life on the stage for an unforgettable start to our 25-26 season. \nThe Opening Night Gala is sponsored by Carolyn and John Yurtchuk.\nFor information on the pre-concert Gala dinner celebration or table sponsorship benefits\, visit bpo.org/gala.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nAlexander Malofeev\, piano \nLAVALLÉE / arr.
