Benjamin Grosvenor

Benjamin Grosvenor joue, avec l'Orchestre national de France placé sous la direction de Cristian Măcelaru, le 2e Concerto pour piano et orchestre de Rachmaninov. 00:00 • Premier mouvement (Moderato) 10:40 • Deuxième mouvement (Adagio sostenuto) 22:05 • Troisième mouvement (Allegro scherzando) #Rachmaninov #BenjaminGrosvenor #OrchestrenationaldeFrance Il y a quelque chose de romanesque dans la manière dont Rachmaninov fut amené à entreprendre son Deuxième Concerto pour piano, dix ans après avoir composé le Premier (qui fut cependant révisé en 1917). Il faut revenir au concert du 15 mars 1897, au cours duquel est créée la Première Symphonie du compositeur. Ce soir-là, l’œuvre nouvelle est tellement malmenée par ses interprètes, et tellement peu défendue par la critique dans les jours qui viennent (César Cui, en particulier, se montre particulièrement virulent à l’égard de la symphonie), que Rachmaninov se sent blessé, accablé, meurtri. Victime d’un profond découragement, il se retire en lui-même, donne des tournées de concert en Russie et à Londres, essaye de trouver une compensation dans l’alcool, et cesse finalement de composer pendant trois ans. Il avouera plus tard avoir vécu, le soir du concert, « l’heure la plus douloureuse de (sa) vie ».

Dances is a dazzling display of solo works for piano from Bach to Boogie Woogie; via Chopin, Granados, Albeniz, Scriabin and the Blue Danube. Shining the spotlight on the music of movement, this album was inspired by a letter from the great pianist-composer Ferruccio Busoni to his pupil Egon Petri proposing a “dance programme” as a theme for Petri’s recitals, a concept Grosvenor expanded on for his Queen Elizabeth Hall debut recital in 2012. A former Gramophone Young Artist of the Year, Grosvenor will appearing at two BBC Proms in 2014 with a performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra (8th August), followed by a solo recital at Cadogan Hall (1st Sep). In 2011, he was awarded the honour of opening the BBC Proms Concerts season and the youngest-ever soloist to perform on the ‘First Night’. Want to receive updates from us?
