Concert Romances by P.Tchaikovsky and S.Rachmaninov (Concert in two parts) Moscow theatre "New Opera"
Schedule for Romances by P.Tchaikovsky and S.Rachmaninov (Concert in two parts) 2022
Composer: Peter Tchaikovsky Composer: Sergei Rachmaninov
Orchestra: Symphony Orchestra of the "New Opera" Theatre
Running time: 2 hours (with one intermission)
The Novaya Opera theatre of Moscow presents two cycles of vocal and other compositions by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, dedicated to the theatre`s founder, Evgeny Kolobov.
The first – "Autumn Song" – includes several of Tchaikovsky`s Songs, an extract from his choral work "Liturgy" (1879), a piece from his piano cycle "The Seasons" and part of "Variations on a Rococo Theme". The music tells the story of the composer`s life from his youthful hopes to the bitter disappointments of maturity. It is a confession of a lonely soul.
The second cycle – "Lylac" – combines several of Rachmaninov`s songs, variations from his "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini" and an early "Romance" for cello and piano. The composer`s personality is revealed here in a philosophical interpretation of God, life and death, the world of nature and tender love for Russia.
