Alexander Malofeev<\/strong> piano<\/p>\n Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra <\/strong><\/p>\n Conductor: Alevtina Ioffe\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prokofiev, Liszt, Chopin and Bart\u00f3k: although it may seem surprising to see these four composers grouped together, if we reveal that the programme for this concert by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra consists of two 19th-century concerto-type works bookended by the music written for two 20th-century dance dramas, it becomes clear that there is nevertheless an organic logic to it. It is always exciting to get an opportunity to meet a new artist: the two we will be meeting at this concert are a prodigiously talented young Russian piano virtuoso and a Russian conductor representing the \u2013 thankfully expanding \u2013 camp of female members of her profession.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Though Prokofiev\u2019s Romeo and Juliet<\/em> (1935) is a ballet and Bart\u00f3k\u2019s one-act dance drama The Miraculous Mandarin<\/em> (1918-1924) is a pantomime, despite the differences in how the genres are defined, both works deal with all-consuming passion, and in both stories, this passion proves fatal. It will be a thrill to hear excerpts from both Prokofiev\u2019s ballet and the suite created from Bart\u00f3k\u2019s pantomime on the same evening. Also promising excitement are the two absolutely Romantic works framed by the 20th-century pieces: Liszt\u2019s Totentanz<\/em> and Chopin\u2019s coupled pair of movements Andante spianato<\/em> et Grande polonaise brillante<\/em>. Born only a year apart, the two composers were united in friendship as well \u2013 and yet, these two pieces of music are so different! In contrast to the demonic darkness of Totentanz<\/em>, the gestures employed in the Andante spianato<\/em> et Grande polonaise brillante<\/em> are dominated by a noble bearing and an elegant sense of poetry. Still only 22 years old, Russian soloist Alexander Malofeev was only 13 when he won the gold medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians. His compatriot, the Moscow-born maestra Alevtina Ioffe, began her international career in 2018 and has since made triumphant debuts in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Weimar, Paris and Seattle.<\/p>\n The five concerts of the Hungarian National Philharmonic\u2019s Kocsis season ticket offer an extraordinary variety of styles, genres, and performers. Generating the excitement in the first night\u2019s programme of Prokofiev, Liszt, Chopin and Bart\u00f3k will be two exceptional Russian artists: the young piano virtuoso Alexander Malofeev and, expanding the thankfully growing contingent of female conductors, Maestra Alevtina Ioffe. Next up, taking the podium this time as conductor will be the legendary oboist and composer Heinz Holliger, as he pays tribute to both his former mentor, S\u00e1ndor Veress, and Veress\u2019s own teacher, Bart\u00f3k, by interpreting works of theirs \u2013 with the Russian Ilya Gringolts serving as the violin virtuoso for the evening. Joined by some excellent singers, Gy\u00f6rgy Vashegyi will revive the late 18th-century Parisian tradition of church concerts, performing both Pergolesi\u2019s and Haydn\u2019s Stabat Mater<\/em>s one after the other. Carlo Montanaro and Barnab\u00e1s Kelemen\u2019s programme evoking the magic of Rome will include, in addition to Respighi, a Liszt piano piece transcribed by Zolt\u00e1n Kocsis and Beethoven\u2019s Violin Concerto<\/em>. The subscription concludes by captivating listeners with the passions Berlioz brought to his Symphonie fantastique<\/em>, as relayed by that most experienced of interpreters, Ken-Ichiro Kobayashi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-121113","concerts","type-concerts","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["hu","en"],"languages":{"hu":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":{"alcim":"Kocsis\/1","kiemelt_kep":{"ID":121114,"id":121114,"title":"2023.12.07","filename":"2023.12.07.png","filesize":840168,"url":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07.png","link":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/en\/koncertek\/a-zongora-ifju-virtuoza\/2023-12-07\/","alt":"","author":"951590","description":"","caption":"","name":"2023-12-07","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":121113,"date":"2023-04-17 11:39:27","modified":"2023-04-17 11:39:27","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":560,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-300x88.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":88,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-768x224.png","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":187,"large":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-1024x299.png","large-width":640,"large-height":187,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-1536x448.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":448,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07.png","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":560,"person-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-165x165.png","person-size-width":165,"person-size-height":165,"person-size-2":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-165x220.png","person-size-2-width":165,"person-size-2-height":220,"album-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-263x263.png","album-size-width":263,"album-size-height":263,"news-lead-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-360x203.png","news-lead-size-width":360,"news-lead-size-height":203,"director-index-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-359x450.png","director-index-size-width":359,"director-index-size-height":450,"person-lead-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-555x555.png","person-lead-size-width":555,"person-lead-size-height":555,"slider-size":"https:\/\/www.filharmonikusok.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2023.12.07-1600x560.png","slider-size-width":1600,"slider-size-height":560}},"kiemelt_kep_en":null,"megjegyzes":"","esemeny_datum":"20231207","esemeny_idopontja":"7.30 pm","esemeny_vege":"9.15 pm","sajat_program":true,"esemeny_tipusa":["koncertek"],"esemeny_helyszine":{"ID":87689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2016-09-08 08:02:38","post_date_gmt":"2016-09-08 08:02:38","post_content":"","post_title":"{:hu}M\u00fcpa -
