About the Event
The first concert of the Rachmaninoff cycle this season with Dmitry Masleev.
Since his First Prize at the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in 2015, the Russian pianist’s small number of appearances thus far in France have met with unanimous praise and support. This was the case with the extraordinary Concerto No 1 by Tchaikovsky with the Orchestre National de France in 2020 and his early recitals at La Roque‐d’Anthéron, at the Paris Philharmonie and here at the Théâtre. Most of Rachmaninoff’s body of work for piano was written in the first half of his life, prior to the Russian Revolution of 1917. His style became more pronounced with Pièces from opus 3 (1892), and developed with the Moments Musicaux of op. 16 four years later, before reaching maturity in the Preludes and Etudes‐Tableaux (1902‐1916). At the first concert tonight, Masleev will set Rachmaninoff in counterpoint to Mendelssohn.
