SCHUBERT THE GREAT
Nikolai Lugansky
Described by Gramophone as“ the most trailblazing and meteoric performer of all,” Nikolai Lugansky is a pianist of extraordinary depth and versatility.
He regularly works with top-level conductors such as Charles Dutoit, Vladimir Jurowski, Gianandrea Noseda, Mikhail Pletnev, Yuri Temirkanov and Osmo Vänskä. Concerto highlights for the 2017 – 2018 season include engagements with the London and Baltimore symphony orchestras, Orchestra dell’ Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Junge Deutsche Philharmonie and the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra. He will also take part in European tours with the Russian National Orchestra and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and Sakari Oramo.
A regular recitalist the world over, upcoming performances include London’ s Wigmore Hall, Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, New York’ s 92 nd Street Y, Washington Performing Arts, Aix-en-Provence, Lisbon, Tokyo, Rio de Janiero and the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire. Lugansky regularly appears at some of the world’ s most distinguished festivals, including La Roque d’ Anthéron, the Verbier Festival, Tanglewood, Aspen and Ravinia. His chamber music collaborators include Vadim Repin, Alexander Kniazev, Mischa Maisky and Leonidas Kavakos.
Nikolai Lugansky has won a number of awards for his many recordings. His recital CD featuring Rachmaninoff’ s piano sonatas won the Diapason d’ Or and an ECHO Klassik Award, whilst his recording of concertos by Grieg and Prokofiev with Kent Nagano and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin was a Gramophone Editor’ s Choice. His earlier recordings have also won a number of awards, including a Diapason d’ Or, BBC Music Magazine Award and ECHO Klassik prize. Lugansky’ s most recent disc of Tchaikovsky’ s Grande
Sonata and The Seasons, released in June 2017, was met with enthusiastic reviews and was described as“ insightful and mature”( The Guardian).
Lugansky is artistic director of the Tambov Rachmaninoff Festival and is also a supporter of, and regular performer at, the Rachmaninoff Estate and Museum of Ivanovka.
Lugansky studied at Moscow’ s Central Music School and the Moscow Conservatoire, where his teachers included Tatiana Kestner, Tatiana Nikolayeva and Sergei Dorensky. He was awarded the honor of People’ s Artist of Russia in April 2013.
Nikolai Lugansky makes his BSO orchestral debut.
About the Concert
PIANO CONCERTO NO. 2 IN G MINOR
Sergei Prokofiev
Born in Sontsovka, Ukraine, April 23, 1891; died in Moscow, U. S. S. R., March 5, 1953
Sergei Prokofiev was only 21 and still a student at the St. Petersburg Conservatory when he wrote his ambitious Second Piano Concerto in 1912 – 1913. A cosseted only child and extremely precocious, he had driven his illustrious teachers crazy. Rarely bowing to authority, he even argued publicly about orchestration with the master himself, Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov. For all his temerity, Prokofiev only received mediocre marks in composition, but in 1914, he did capture the Rubinstein Prize, the Conservatory’ s highest honor for pianists.
His musical voice was already basically formed: brilliant, sardonic, in love with clashing harmonies and spiky rhythms. What Richard Aldrich of The New York Times wrote of his piano playing in 1918 seems already to have been true five years earlier:“ He is an individual virtuoso with a technique all his own. He can create big sonorities, sometimes mellow to richness, more often brittle and raucous. His fingers are steel, his wrists steel, his biceps and triceps steel.”
