For the inauguration of the new season, Riccardo Chailly guides us again to the discovery of the Russian repertoire: Tchaikovsky's Fourth Symphony is a “musical confession of the soul”, as its author wrote to Baroness von Meck, a music that bears the intense and complex feelings that he felt after the failure of his marriage, when he was forced to leave Russia and to move to Europe from city to city. Started at home, resumed and completed in France, performed for the first time in Chicago, Prokof'ev's Third Piano Concerto is also the work of a man in continuous research, able to amaze the public with a percussive use of the instrument never heard before. For the occasion, Alexandre Kantorow, the first French pianist to win the Tchaikovsky competition in 2019 and one of the greatest performers of our time, makes his debut with the Filarmonica.
