\nFranz Liszt: Mazeppa<\/p>\n
Olga Kern<\/strong> piano<\/p>\n Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra<\/strong><\/p>\n Conductor: Martin Rajna <\/strong><\/p>\n The Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra will pay tribute to the memory of its former artistic director Zolt\u00e1n Kocsis by performing works from the kind of composers whose modes of expression shared an affinity with that of the great pianist and conductor. Liszt and Rachmaninov are certainly of that ilk \u2013 we will even hear a composition from Liszt that Kocsis himself arranged for the orchestra. Given that Zolt\u00e1n Kocsis was a supporter of youthful musicians, it should come as no surprise that this memorial concert will be conducted by the emerging young talent Martin Rajna. The soloist Olga Kern has previously appeared as a special guest of the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra.<\/p>\n Liszt\u2019s Ave Maria<\/em> is a piano piece that was also a part of Kocsis\u2019s repertoire, which is perhaps how the latter had the idea of arranging the piece for the orchestra. Rachmaninov\u2019s symphonic poem The Isle of the Dead<\/em> was inspired by a painting by Arnold B\u00f6cklin after the composer viewed a black-and-white photograph of B\u00f6cklin\u2019s work. When Rachmaninov saw the coloured version, however, he disappointedly commented that \u201cIf I had seen the original first, I could hardly have composed my piece. I prefer the black-and-white one.\u201d The melody of the Gregorian chant Dies irae<\/em> plays an important role in The<\/em> Isle of the Dead<\/em>, and also forms the basis for the next work in the programme, Liszt\u2019s Dance of Death<\/em>. In fact, in the composition written for piano and orchestra that follows after the interval, Rachmaninov\u2019s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini<\/em>, we will hear a final reference to this medieval melody that evokes the Last Judgement and which was so loved by Romantic composers. To complete the programme, Mazeppa<\/em> is one of Liszt\u2019s most popular symphonic poems and was written based on the poem by Victor Hugo in Weimar in 1851. The work of literature tells the story of a heroic Cossack leader who is tied to a wild horse by the enemy \u2013 and explains the stormy character of the passionate music.<\/p>\n Martin Rajna\u2019s career has been making great strides both in Hungary and further afield. Olga Kern is a piano virtuoso of Russian origin who resides in America and was the 2001 winner of the Van\u00a0Cliburn International\u00a0Piano\u00a0Competition.<\/p>\n
