Description
How was Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s famous Piano Concerto in B minor originally conceived? The composer revised it several times, and today we generally hear the final version. When Pianist Kirill Gerstein comes to Grafenegg, he goes back to Tchaikovsky’s earlier ideas, as can be heard right from the opening bars. The chords, played in other versions with every finger hammering the keyboard simultaneously, are arpeggiated here, in a kind of rolling motion, note after note. This produces a lyrical sonic pattern, which Gerstein also prefers because it pushed the concerto somewhat away from virtuosic thundering and allows it better to unfold its melodic qualities. Such qualities will also be on show after the interval in Antonín Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony, which under Gustavo Gimeno’s baton will combine with the work’s sombre drama to enthral the audience.
