“Crystalline clarity”; “bravura power”; “so mighty as to sweep away any concerns” – critics can sometimes be lost for words when pianist Denis Kozhukhin performs with the 鶹Լ Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and there’s a good reason why he’s one of our favourite regular guests. Imagine all that artistry (and all that chemistry) in Rachmaninov’s sweeping Fourth Piano Concerto. That’s the centrepiece of a concert that opens with Matthias Pintscher conducting his own music, plus something new and powerful from his student Ricardo Ferro, before plunging into the deliriously Romantic world of Schoenberg’s Pelléas und Mélisande. This lush orchestral saga of doomed love drove audiences wild in Mahler’s Vienna, and you’re about to hear why.
