A symphonic concert on April 27, 2018 at the Artur Rubinstein Philharmonic will be an opportunity not only to listen to works that rarely appear in philharmonic repertoires (including one Lodz pre-premiere), but also to celebrate the Bulgarian Presidency in the European Union.
Ahead of us is the Lodz pre-premiere of Maurycy Moszkowski's Piano Concerto in B minor, discovered a few years ago. This German-Polish-Jewish pianist (born in 1854 in Wrocław) composed several hundred virtuoso pieces for the piano. They were appreciated and played by well-known soloists, including Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Apart from Moszkowski's Etude, the most frequently performed is the Piano Concerto in E major, as it was believed, the only one. It turned out, however, that there is another concerto written earlier. Along with the Lodz Philharmonics, it will be presented by Bulgarian artists – pianist Ludmil Angelov, an excellent interpreter of works by Fryderyk Chopin, and conductor Vladimir Kiradjiev.
During this concert, organized to celebrate the Bulgarian Presidency in the EU, the Bulgarian Suite by Pancho Vladigerova, related to the well-known Pasternak family, will also be performed The program of the concert will be completed by Polish melodies by Mieczysław Wajnberg, a Warsaw-born composer of Jewish origin, from 1939 residing in the USSR.
Pre-concert meeting at 6.15 p.m. will be lead by Piotr Matwiejczuk.
