Sergej Rachmaninov: Pictures and Fairy Tales
Études-Tableaux (selection)
Préludes (selection)
Ralf Schnell, piano
The internationally renowned pianist Ralf Schnell makes his debut at the Liederhalle Stuttgart with his latest program 'Sergej Rachmaninov - Pictures and Fairy Tales'!
Many of Sergei Rachmaninov's works are inspired by myths and tales from his native Russia, but also by literature and works of art from other cultures. 'Pictures and Fairy Tales' combines twelve such works, a selection from the Préludes and Études-Tableaux, whose inspiration and musical effect are particularly striking. The program includes Rachmaninov's most famous work, the Prélude op. 3 no. 2, the very rarely performed Étude-Tableaux op. 39 no. 2 'The Sea and the Seagulls' and op. 33 no. 7 'The Fair', the bloodcurdling op. 39 no. 5 and the last of the preludes, the epic op. 32 no. 13.
Like all his recital programs, Ralf Schnell also plays 'Pictures and Fairy Tales' without a break and without interruptions. You can look forward to an evening of mythical tales, intense beauty and fiery virtuosity.
