The recital of the magnificent Russian pianist Evgeny Samoyloff is entirely devoted to Tchaikovsky’s music.
Tchaikovsky’s miniatures from The Seasons will unfold an atmosphere of the colourful Russian nature and Russian life and the Nutcracker suite will bring a real magic of the fairytale. This suite, arranged for piano by the Russian pianist Mikhail Pletnev is rarely performed because of its breathtaking virtuosity. Evgeny is one of the few pianists who is proud to include this masterpiece in his repertoire.

Programme:

Seasons op.37a (Selection)

Concert Suite from the Ballet “The Nutcracker” arr. M. Pletnev
