Nikolai Lugansky plays piano music by Rachmaninov at the Wigmore Hall. Presented by Martin Handley. An all-Rachmaninov programme from a leading exponent of this repertoire, celebrated for the expressivity of his playing and the emotional variety of his interpretations. Lugansky begins with the 10 Preludes Op. 23, written in 1900-1903, when Rachmaninov was short of money after his marriage. Though the motivation for their composition was predominantly financial, they transcend their background and are some of Rachmaninov's most heartfelt and expressive works. After the enormous set of variations based on a traditional theme also used by Corelli, La Folia, the concert ends with the second set of Études-Tableaux Op. 39, a set of 9 "study pictures" exploring different facets of piano technique and expressive effect. Rachmaninov: 10 Preludes Op. 23. Variations on a Theme of Corelli Op. 42. Etudes-tableaux Op. 39 Recorded at the Wigmore Hall, London, on 20th March 2023.

John Eliot Gardiner conducts Schumann at the Royal Concertgebouw.
John Eliot Gardiner conducts Scenes from Goethe's Faust, Robert Schumann's dramatic masterpiece with an all-star cast at the Royal Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. Schumann started work on this two-hour epic in 1842 and was still working on it a year before his death in 1856. For, although he was a prodigiously fast worker, on this occasion he was daunted by the task in hand, as he explained in a letter to Felix Mendelssohn: 'Any composer would not only be judged by his treatment of one of the seminal and most-widely acclaimed works in German literature, but would also be setting himself up to be compared to Mozart.' In this performance given in Amsterdam in 2019, John Eliot Gardiner conducts a top line-up of soloists including Christian Gerhaher as Faust and Christiane Karg as Gretchen. Robert Schumann: Scenes from Goethe's Faust. Christian Gerhaher (baritone: Faust), Christiane Karg (soprano: Gretchen). Louise Alder (soprano). Ann Hallenberg (contralto). Claire Barnett-Jones (mezzo). Werner Güra (tenor: Ariel). Tareq Nazmi (bass). Kurt Rydl (bass: Mephistopheles). Netherlands Chamber Choir. National Children's Choir. Laurens Collegium Rotterdam.

John Eliot Gardiner at 80.
Martin Handley introduces a live performance from St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square as John Eliot Gardiner celebrates his 80th birthday by conducting the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra in Bach's Mass in B minor. No-one knows for sure why Bach, a lifelong Lutheran, chose to make a full Latin setting of the Catholic Mass, but written towards the end of his life, it seems to have been a way of summing up all he was musically and spiritually capable of - of leaving something for posterity - after a lifetime of professional underappreciation and what must have felt like ephemeral drudgery. For this major project, which he probably never heard performed, Bach reworked a lot of his older music, both sacred and profane. But the result, far from being an incoherent patchwork, has a compelling musical unity coupled to a profound spirituality: a European work of art at least the equal of anything from humankind anywhere at any time. Bach: Mass in B minor. Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, John Eliot Gardiner (conductor).

Mahler's Third Symphony from the Lucerne Festival Orchestra.
Fiona Talkington presents Paavo Jarvi conducting the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in Mahler's Third Symphony at the opening concert of this year's Lucerne Festival. Mahler here presents a creation story of the world itself coming into being, beginning with inorganic nature, rocks, and mountains, before plants, animals and, ultimately, humanity are successively added to the picture. Yet our species is not the pinnacle. For Mahler, the highest form of existence is love, which he translates into music with a stirring, hymn-like theme. `What God Tells Me" was Mahler's initial title for this final movement: music as a promise of blessing. Mahler: Symphony No 3 in D minor. Wiebke Lehmkuhl (alto), Women of the Bavarian Radio Chorus, Luzerner Kantorei, Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Paavo Jarvi (conductor).
