Nikolai Lugansky	piano

Grieg	Piano Concerto
Rachmaninov	Symphony No. 2

Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony is one of the pinnacles of the Russian symphonic tradition, a tradition that places high emphasis on flowing melodies and powerful orchestration. From the brooding first movement through the rhythmically exciting Scherzo (once again containing the Dies Irae motif that haunts so many of the composer’s works) to the beautiful climax of the slow movement, and then their summation in the final movement, the work is a real journey through the Russian musical landscape and the world of Rachmaninov’s imagination.
