Conductor - Alan BuribayevPiano - Eva Gevorgyan
Tchaikovsky - Eugene Onegin: Polonaise
Chopin - Piano Concerto No.1
Kalinnikov - Symphony No.1
The stunning Russian-Armenian pianist Eva Gevorgyan makes her NZ debut with the delicate, melancholic concerto of the incomparable poet of the piano, Chopin.
Vasily Kalinnikov’s glorious First Symphony is one of the forgotten gems of Russian music: its composer died at only 35, and its profusion of warm-hearted melodies gives a tantalising glimpse of what was lost.
Those who knew and mourned Kalinnikov included Tchaikovsky, who opens the concert with the vigorous Polonaise from his greatest opera.
