Petr Limonov piano

Johann Strauss the younger was known as the king of Viennese waltzes, and his overture to the operetta Die Fledermaus (The Bat) is one of his best-loved works.
Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor is one of his most popular and dramatic works. We welcome Petr Limonov to play this concerto, with its grand opening arpeggios and lively finale.
Dohnányi's second symphony is a substantial work scored for a large orchestra, composed
towards the end of the second World War. It combines music in the style of the
Romantic period with modern and Hungarian influences, including a classic dramatic poem of Hungarian literature,
The Tragedy of Man by Imre Madach. The drama is reflected in sections of the symphony
that are reminiscent of modern-day film scores for big-screen adventures.
