Programme Note
Written at his villa near Lake Lucerne in the summer of 1934, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini – which the composer premiered in America – was an immediate sensation. It’s a dazzling display inspired by Paganini’s last Caprice, pausing only for the famous romantic melody in Variation 18 before a bravura finish. We’re delighted to welcome the 20-year-old Ukrainian virtuoso Khrystyna Mykhailichenko, who performs regularly in Paris, Washington, New York and Vienna, as well as her native Kyiv.
After two sizzling, street-smart works inspired by South America – Gershwin’s jazzy homage to Havana, and Piazzolla’s Spring in Buenos Aires played by young British-Polish violinist Emily Trubshaw – today’s concert climaxes with the clashing tectonic plates of Janáček’s Sinfonietta: a delirious earthquake of sound, and a blazing, brassy hymn to liberation.
