Bard Music Festival Presents

Program Five • Rachmaninoff’s Russian Contemporaries

Sunday, August 7, 2022
Olin Hall
1:30 pm – 2:30 pm EDT/GMT-4

Rachmaninoff considered Medtner “the greatest composer of our time,” and the latter’s little-known Piano Quintet features in Program Five, “Rachmaninoff’s Russian Contemporaries.”

A collection of piano, vocal and chamber music from the early 1900s, this program also presents Rachmaninoff’s superlative Cello Sonata and selections from his Thirteen Preludes and Études-tableaux; further piano selections by his brilliant friend and classmate Scriabin, their mutual friend Felix Blumenfeld and the short-lived Vasily Kalinnikov; and works by two Russians better known for their subsequent innovations: Stravinsky, represented by his settings of Two Poems of Paul Verlaine, and Prokofiev, whose single-movement Third Piano Sonata is perhaps the most carefully crafted of his early contributions to the genre.

1 pm Preconcert Talk
