Rakhmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto

Pavel Kolesnikov is the soloist in Sergej Rakhmaninov’s legendary and romantic Piano Concerto No. 3. Our first guest conductor, Sir Mark Elder, has chosen a varied programme for this concert evening, with folk music as a more or less obvious common thread – from Matre’s lyrical pieces built on Grieg’s original versions, via Dvořák’s joyful symphony, clearly inspired by Bohemian folk melodies, to Rakhmaninov, who is clearly influenced by Russian motifs and rhythms. Programme: Ørjan Matre / Lyric pieces, excerpts Antonin Dvořák / Symphony No. 8 Sergej Rakhmaninov / Piano Concerto No. 3
