Edinburgh International Festival 2021 (2/4)
Recorded at this year's Edinburgh International Festival, conductor Valery Gergiev and pianist Steven Osborne join the RSNO for a concert of iconic Russian repertoire.
One of Britain's most treasured musicians, pianist Steven Osborne joins the RSNO for Shostakovich’s first piano concerto, with celebrated conductor Valery Gergiev at the helm. According to Shostakovich’s pupil Evgeny Makarov, this playful and lyrical work from the 1930s started out as trumpet concerto, which explains the stand out role for the instrument alongside the piano. After the interval Stravinsky’s ballet score for strings alone follows Apollo and the three Muses at the height of his neoclassical style. The concert opens with Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings from 1880. He wrote to his friend the music publisher Pyotr Jurgenson “I love this Serenade terribly, and fervently hope that it might soon see the light of day”.
