    A duel of Russian titans: Rachmaninov’s Romanticism meets Shostakovich’s fury

    Two iconic Russian compositions, penned just 40 years apart, offer a striking contrast of musical temperaments: Rachmaninov’s beloved Second Piano Concerto, with its lush, sweeping romanticism, and Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony, a harrowing wartime anthem forged in the crucible of Leningrad under siege. Together, they represent the breadth of Russian music, from soulful yearning to blistering defiance.

    If concert programmes came with health advisories, this one by the National Symphony Orchestra might warn of possible infarction – supreme indulgence followed by heart-stopping cacophony. Heedless of these risks, the audience lapped it up as evinced by the flurry of standing ovations. Indeed there was much to admire.

    French pianist Lise dem la Salle was less interested in savouring the lush harmonies of Rachmaninov or unfurling his yearning melodies than in having the audience on the

    “Phantasmagoria invites us on a musical, poetic, and initiatory inner journey; an evocation of Liszt’s contrasting universe, where darkness and light intertwine in a fascinating dialogue. Surrounded in mystery, my new album Phantasmagoria evokes the unreal, the evanescence of visions born at the intersection of the sublime and the abyss. The Sonata, the Réminiscences de Don Juan, and the Cantique d’amour embody this duality of feelings, oscillating between consuming passions and lyrical, meditative ecstasies; between shadow and brilliance. Phantasmagoria becomes a metaphor for the inner journey, tormented and luminous, that Liszt invites us to experience.”  Lise de la Salle
