Known as a prominent interpreter of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s music, Boris Giltburg believes that the composer’s First Piano Concerto lacks nothing. “It has heart-aching yearning and nostalgia, lush, warm-summer-day-laziness, singular beauty, tender and loving.”
Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is among Béla Bartók’s best-known works. Completed in 1936, the composition fascinates with its contrasts that make the music at once wild and controlled, calm and terrifying.
