Athens State Orchestra – Lukas Karytinos – Daniil Trifonov
Works by Koumendakis, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich
If there is a contemporary pianist who can be regarded as a worthy heir to the great stars of the golden age of piano, then Daniil Trifonov fits the description. The electrifying virtuosity and deep expressive power of his signature style guarantee a riveting performance of Rachmaninoff’s timeless Piano Concerto No. 2. The Athens State Orchestra will also present Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 9 under the baton of established conductor Lukas Karytinos, also known as Shostakovich’s “classical” symphony due to its density, clarity, and freshness. The concert will come to a close with the spellbinding The Pedal Tone for a Child by Giorgos Koumendakis, inspired by the invaluable Byzantine music tradition.
