El año 1917
Synopsis
Some fates are private; others belong to history. This programme brings together two Russian masterpieces shaped by that dual tension.
Rachmaninoff composed his Piano Concerto No. 2 after a period of creative paralysis and profound personal crisis. From that darkness emerged one of the most beloved works in the repertoire: music of soaring lyricism, profound emotional power and generous virtuosity. Simon Trpčeski is the soloist in a work that transforms vulnerability into resilience.
The second half of the concert turns to Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 12, The Year 1917, dedicated to Lenin and closely associated with the official memory of the Russian Revolution. Yet Shostakovich rarely allows a single interpretation to prevail: beneath the historical narrative lies a complex dialogue between the individual, political power and historical memory.
Víctor Pablo Pérez conducts the Sinfónica de Tenerife in a programme in which history enters the concert hall in all its symbolic complexity.
