Featuring
Programme
- Kodály Dances of Galánta, 15′
- Rachmaninov Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, 24′
- Debussy Nocturnes: Sirènes, 11′
- Stravinsky The Firebird Suite (1919), 22′
Like Brahms and Liszt before him, Rachmaninoff was inspired by a simple 19th-century tune for the violin and ended up writing one of the Romantic period's greatest pieces. Here, pianist Sunwook Kim guides us with ease through the 24 beautiful variations, while conductor Lionel Bringuier surrounds it with colour - from the fields of Hungary to the glittering fantasy-world of Stravinsky's The Firebird.
