Denis Matsuev and the Chamber Orchestra Vienna-Berlin A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Denis Matsuev, an artist frequently celebrated by Hungarian audiences, takes to the stage of the Liszt Academy as an experienced exponent of the distinguished Russian school of piano. Many critics consider the virtuoso artist carries on the tradition of Gilels, Richter and Horowitz. For this performance he captivates us with a special Shostakovich work originally composed as a trumpet concerto. Matsuev (40) started on his conquest of the foremost concert venues around the world from a town in Siberia, winning the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow (1998), organized every fourth year. He is welcomed as a regular guest performer at many places including New York’s Carnegie Hall, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Musikverein in Vienna. For this concert we hear him with an ensemble of remarkable quality and composition formed from the musicians of the Vienna Philharmonics and Berlin Philharmonics, two of the world’s best orchestras, in a beautiful and exciting programme bookended by the two most recognized string orchestral serenades. His partner is Gábor Tarkövi, solo trumpet player of the Berlin Philharmonics, in Shostakovich’s scintillating concerto.
