Russian Piano Classics: Konstantin Lifschitz & Alexei Volodin

Russian Piano Classics
俄羅斯鋼琴經典

1 stage, 2 pianos, 4 hands, 6 composers, and 10 masterworks! Following the extraordinary Beethoven sonata cycle in 2017, pianist Konstantin Lifschitz returns to HKU with renowned fellow pianist Alexei Volodin. The story of their lifelong friendship, started from their childhood days in Moscow’s Gnessin Academy under the legendary Tatiana Zelikman, is told through an earnestly curated programme: Medtner’s ethereal Fairy Tales, Mussorgsky’s stately Pictures at an Exhibition, Stravinsky’s idiosyncratic Rite of Spring, Prokofiev’s picturesque 3 Pieces for Piano, two sets of 24 Preludes by Rachmaninov and Shostakovich, and more. The two internationally celebrated pianists will narrate these pianistic gems over four concerts.

一個舞台、兩架鋼琴、四手齊奏、六位作曲大師，十部鋼琴經典！自2017年好評如潮的貝多芬鋼琴奏鳴曲全集後，列夫席茲將夥拍童年好友、莫斯科尼辛斯音樂學院同門霍羅丁炮製四場美樂盛宴。從麥哲納空靈飄緲的《神話》、穆索斯基充滿意象的《圖畫展覽會》、史特拉汶斯基的《春之祭》、浦羅哥菲夫的《三首鋼琴小品》，以至全套拉赫曼尼諾夫和蕭斯塔夫維契的前奏曲，兩位享負盛名的鋼琴家將以獨奏和雙鋼琴合奏精彩呈現俄羅斯鋼琴經典！
