Overview

Rachmaninoff’s emotionally charged music has always the liveliness and freshness of youth. And when it is performed by young, talented musicians, the result can only be breathtaking. Eminent conductor Dionysis Grammenos leads the Greek Youth Symphony Orchestra in the performance of the Russian composer’s Second symphony, his most popular symphonic work. Virtuoso pianist Vassilis Varvaresos, known for the explosiveness and depth of his performances, will take on the ageless Second piano concerto, a work whose immense popularity has not reduced its capacity to reach the depths of the human soul and evoke the strongest feelings, as if it were heard for the very first time.
