CELEBRATE AT PAN'S NEW YEAR CLASSICAL CONCERT - Friday, January 6, 2012 at 8 pm
Salle Pleyel, Paris 8
If you haven't yet seen and heard the great Russian pianist Mikhail Rudy, seize this chance during the Paris stop of his international tours and recordings with famous orchestras from St Petersburg to San Francisco. You'll experience Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto like you never have before, with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France directed by Alexander Vedernikov. From his first concert after escaping to the west (with Stern and Rostropovich in honor of the 90th birthday of Chagall, who became his good friend), Rudy, age 57, as in his recent aptly titled box of 5 CDs, "Le Piano Romantic," masters a repertory from Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and Stravinsky to Brahms, Chopin and Liszt up through Janacek. After his script for the film and play "The Pianist," the BBC made a movie of his autobiography "Le Roman d’un Pianiste ou L’Impatience de Vivre." Tonight's program ends with extracts from Prokofiev's ballet Cendrillon, so lyrical and enchanting, you'll want to dance your way home. 30€ tickets – Cat 2, group price.
