Sergei Rachmaninov’s 3rd Piano Concerto unexpectedly required a trip by ocean liner. This is where the Russian pianist and composer had to practise on a silent keyboard during the long crossing to America. A few weeks later in November 1909, he brought the concerto he had composed specifically for the North American tour to its premiere in New York. Pianist Alexei Volodin, trained at Moscow’s Gnesin Academy, is widely praised for his sensitive touch, which also marks his performance of Rachmaninov’s concerto.

Introduction to the concert
Professor Lutz-Werner Hesse provides an insight into the compositions and the creative work of the composer, as well as an overview of the historical context and background in a half-hourly concert introduction on the Mondays of symphony concerts performed by the Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra. Soloists or the conductor share interesting facts about the concert programme in dialogue with the audience.
Professor Lutz-Werner Hesse is a composer and the managing director of the Wuppertal department of the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln.
Tickets for symphony concerts on Monday evenings include entrance to these concert introductions at 7.00 pm free of charge. (Please note, spaces are limited.)
The venue for the talk is signposted in the foyer.
