Info for Schumann, Bach & Rachmaninov: Concertos Without Orchestra

Auf seinem Debütalbum präsentiert der junge türkische Pianist Salih Can Gevrek, Associate Artist an der Königin-Elisabeth-Musikkapelle, das Konzept "Concertos Without Orchestra". Er stellt zwei spiegelbildliche Werke vor, die beide von Anspielungen auf den musikalischen Stil und die Struktur von Konzerten mit Orchester durchdrungen sind. J. S. Bachs berühmtes Italienisches Konzert wird auf subtile Weise mit Schumanns weniger bekannter, aber ebenso virtuoser Sonate Nr. 3 f-Moll op. 14, auch bekannt als "Konzert ohne Orchester", verbunden. Die selten aufgenommenen Moments musicaux von Rachmaninov vervollständigen dieses musikalische Panorama anlässlich seines 80. Todestages. Diese Reise durch Barock, Romantik und Postromantik verbindet die drei sehr unterschiedlichen Werke durch Dramatik und Poesie in der Musik.
