Denis Kozhukhin plays Rachmaninov from Glasgow

Pianist Denis Kozhukhin and conductor Matthias Pintscher join the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ SSO for music by Rachmaninov and Schoenberg, plus recent works by the conductor himself and Ricardo Ferro.

Rachmaninov's sweeping Fourth Piano Concerto performed by Denis Kozhukhin is the centrepiece of a concert that opens with Matthias Pintscher conducting something new and powerful from his student Ricardo Ferro plus a piece of his own music. After the interval, we plunge into the deliriously Romantic world of Schoenberg’s Pelléas und Mélisande - a lush orchestral saga of doomed love which drove audiences wild in Mahler’s Vienna when it premiered in 1905.

Presented by Kate Molleson and recorded at Glasgow's City Halls on 20 March 2025.
