Our first orchestra led by the doyen of the Russian conducting school Vladimir Fedoseyev will close the BMF 2013 with a performance of a rarely played piano concerto by the music symbolist Alexandr Skryabin featuring an excellently technically skilled Alexei Volodin, the representative of the middle generation of Russian pianists. The highlight will be the Symphony No. 4 by Tchaikovsky, which belongs to the essential repertory pieces of the conductor. The performance of the Bergglocke by Ján Levoslav Bella will commemorate the 170th anniversary of the composer’s birth.
