Koncertná sieň Slovenskej filharmónieD/E serie – Three Centuries of Music
Concert Hall of Slovak Philharmonic
What was happening in music at the beginning of the 20th century? The variety of styles, the intricate way of searching for one's own manuscript, the breaking away from the established harmonic procedures... This concert will be a kind of excursion into the possible forms of music's direction. The Slavonic Piano Concerto by the Ukrainian Boris Lyatoshinsky combines virtuosic solo surfaces with the sonorous, film music-like sound of the orchestra. The broad emotional charge must be mastered interpretively by the prominent Ukrainian pianist Antonii Barishevski. Witold Lutosławski's chromatically saturated variations will contrast with Arnold Schoenberg's even more harmonically gripping work, which was originally written for an à capella choir. The concert will close with The Psalm Symphony, a representative and highly evocative work by Igor Stravinsky, who turned to sacred themes and humility several times in his work towards the end of his life.
