Buniatishvili’s sensitivity, lyricism and jubilance - not to mention flawless technique - perfectly suits Rachmaninov’s concertos. BBC Music Magazine
Waiting list fully occupied
According to Gramophone, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra is one of the best ten orchestras in the world. Add to that the virtuosity of the Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, the flair of the Italian conductor Fabio Luisi and the magisterial music of Mahler and Rachmaninov, and you realize: this concert has everything it needs to be sensational. The programme’s common thread is New York. In Evening Land, Bent Sørensen merges two striking memories. The panorama of an evening filled with light and noise in The Big Apple, and the vast natural landscape of Seeland, the region in Denmark in which he grew up as a child. That clash between city and countryside also characterized Rachmaninov's life. Khatia Buniatishvili sparkles in the monumental Piano Concerto No. 3, with which Rachmaninov himself made his debut in America at the end of the 19th century. At the New York Philharmonic he played under the direction of none other than ... Gustav Mahler. His picturesque First Symphony concludes this concert. The circle is complete.
