Santtu & Nikolai Lugansky
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]The Philharmonia Orchestra pulls out all the stops in the finale of their 2024/25 season, ending with Respighi’s cinematic Pines of Rome.
The orchestra and their principal conductor, Santtu-Matias Rouvali, are joined by Nikolai Lugansky, the Russian prince of the piano, in Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto.
One of the all-time great interpreters of Rachmaninov, renowned for his ‘quintessentially Russian sound’ (The Independent), Lugansky understands this most challenging and rewarding of concertos inside out.
All Rachmaninov’s trademarks are there: bittersweet melodies, pianistic fireworks, and lush orchestral writing.
Alborada del gracioso roughly translates as ‘Dawn Song of the Jester’. It’s a beguiling short piece with a Spanish flavour, complete with castanets, and a harp imitating the strumming of a guitar.
La Valse is an altogether darker affair – Ravel’s deconstruction of a Viennese waltz is said to represent the cataclysmic impact of the First World War.
Every member of the Philharmonia will be turning the dial up to 11 to bring their 2024/25 season to a roof-raising close.
