Georgijs OSOKINS – piano
Conductor Vladimir FEDOSEYEV
Programme:
· Ludwig van BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto no. 4
· Franz SCHUBERT Symphony no. 9
“Refined, impeccable technique, musical ideas – simply great piano playing.” This is how the Radio Francce lauded the sensitive ivory tickler Georgijs Osokins, and the world of music agrees. He will meet the legendary Russian maestro Vladimir Fedoseyev in the music of Ludwig van Beethoven. Shortly after its premiere, the Vienna press wrote that Concerto no. 4 “is the most admirable, singular, artistic, and complex Beethoven concerto ever”. So, it will be interesting to hear it rendered by the hands of Osokins.
Beethoven’s music was particularly admired by Franz Schubert, and this concert will feature his Ninth, which is often called his most outstanding symphonic opus. It demonstrates Schubert’s talent of composer and melody writer with the style of instrumentation inspired by Beethoven, which would also be later reflected in the music of Robert Schumann.
