The German conductor Kevin John Edusei takes you on an imaginary grand ball. Composed in 1934, the "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" unfolds the quintessentially Slavic lyricism of Sergei Rachmaninov. The impeccable technique of great pianist Andrei Korobeinikov promises to enhance the lyricism of this dazzling piece, often used in cinema. The highlight of this exceptional program, Brahms' "Symphony No. 1" is the magnificent achievement of a composer who transcends the Beethovenian model.
