Production details
TCHAIKOVSKY Francesca da Rimini LISZT Piano Concerto 2 VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis DVORAK Symphonic Variations THE INTERNATIONAL CONDUCTOR'S ACADEMY OF THE ALLIANZ CULTURAL FOUNDATION ARNOALDO COHEN piano Three young, talented conductors on the brink of major careers join us for four great masterworks of differing, probing depths. Dvorak's set of variations on a Czech folk melody comes together piece by piece towards a final explosion as the theme is united with what feels like its rightful alignment of harmony and orchestration. To open, Tchaikovsky's heart-rending symphonic fantasy Francesca da Rimini is a moving slice of semi-conscious musical autobiography: Tchaikovsky was no stranger to unhappiness in love, and in his musical retelling of Dante's tale of Francesca's infidelity and casting into hell, he seems to pour all his own sorrow and pain.
