Concert de cloenda "Rakhmàninov: Concert de piano"

A closing concert devoted to the piano works of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Russian composer and pianist, in Sala 1 Pau Casals in Barcelona.

A closing concert focusing on the piano works of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Russian composer and pianist (1873-1943) who spent much of his career between Russia and the United States. His piano writing, with its broad melodies and late Romantic harmony, forms part of the regular repertoire of pianists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Among his best-known works are his concertos for piano and orchestra, the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and the Preludes for piano, including the Prelude in C sharp minor. The title of the evening refers to this part of his piano repertoire.

Sala 1 Pau Casals hosts this classical music concert in Barcelona, with the piano at the centre of the programme. It is an occasion for anyone who wants to hear Rachmaninoff's music live in a piano recital format.
