HK PHIL: SWIRE MAESTRO SERIES: VASILY PETRENKO & BORIS GILTBURG

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Programme
PROKOFIEV | Piano Concerto no. 3
RACHMANINOV | Symphony no. 2
Vasily Petrenko is a conductor with a youthful spirit but a profound feeling for his native Russian tradition. Pianist Boris Giltburg, meanwhile, aims “to delve deeper and deeper into the world behind the notes”. Together, they’re a dream team in this all-Russian programme. Giltburg will light up the sky in Prokofiev’s glittering Third Piano Concerto. And then Petrenko conducts Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony – a wordless epic that’s as passionate as a love-song.

The concert runs approximately 2 hours with an intermission.
Please note latecomers will miss the whole concerto, and the audience is advised to allow enough time for admission.

Artists
Vasily Petrenko, conductor
Boris Giltburg, piano
