| | | | | In the Mirror Foyer 13 January’14 Monday 18:00 MUSICAL LITERATURE Concert in two parts The programme comprises romances, Russian and foreign songs The title of the concert immediately brings to mind a music school subject. But for the author of the concert, pianist Tatyana Sotnikova, these words mean much more: “I wanted to emphasize how dramatically a literary piece changes when music steps into it. Like a diamond after cutting, it acquires absolutely different properties and colours.” The programme comprises compositions based on different literary sources ranging from legends (Liszt’s Die Lorelei, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Swietezianka) and biblical themes (Brahms’ Four Serious Songs, Dargomyzhsky’s The Garden, Rimsky-Korsakov’s Hebrew Song) to Proto-Renaissance poetry (Liszt’s Petrarch Sonnet) and Enlightenment (Tchaikovsky’s “No, only he who has known” and Mignon’s Song); from fairy tales (Ravel’s Sheherazade) to Pushkin poems (Vlasov’s To the Fountain of Bakhchisarai Palace), from Shakespeare to Tsvetaeva (Shostakovich’s Hamlet’s Dialogue with His Conscience). |
