Tugan Sokhiev conductor
Yefim Bronfman piano

Sergei Rachmaninoff
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30
Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27

Two masterpieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff bring together Tugan Sokhiev and pianist Yefim Bronfman, who is making his debut with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. A true Everest of the piano repertoire, the Piano Concerto No. 3 combines extraordinary virtuosity with a lyricism of deeply moving intensity. Yefim Bronfman’s musical authority, powerful sound and depth of interpretation make him one of the work’s greatest interpreters.
In the second half, Tugan Sokhiev, Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the OSR, conducts the majestic Symphony No. 2, a work that marked a new beginning for Rachmaninoff following the failure of his Symphony No. 1. With its inexhaustible melodic flow, sumptuous orchestration and ardent romanticism, this score ranks among the composer’s most beloved works.
An exceptional concert bringing together two outstanding artists to celebrate one of Russia’s greatest composers.
