Program notes
Acclaimed maestro Mirga Gražinytė‑Tyla takes the podium at Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw for a thrilling concert with piano virtuoso Gabriela Montero, who dazzles in Tchaikovsky’s perennial favorite Piano Concerto No. 1, lending her artistic sensitivity and astonishing skill to some of the most memorable melodies in classical music. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra bookends the piano treasure with Raminta Šerkšnytė’s De Profundis and Mieczysław Weinberg’s Symphony No. 3. The result is a rich program that perfectly blends Šerkšnytė’s dramatic dissonances and Weinberg’s stormy tension with Tchaikovsky’s sweeping Romantic lyricism.
