The Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, led by artistic director maestro Gintaras Rinkevičius, together with piano virtuoso Alexander Paley, invites you to the second evening, where the works for piano and orchestra of the Polish composer and pianist Frédéric Chopin (1810–1849) will be played.
F. Chopin gained worldwide recognition while he was still alive - he became one of the most prominent figures of the Romantic era, whose poetic genius and professional skill had no equal. Like J.S. Bach, whose work was admired by the famous romantic, F. Chopin was a wonderful improviser, in his music trellis and ornaments became not an additional, but a central part of the work. The composer's work was also shaped by Polish folk music, the classical tradition of W. A. Mozart and F. Schubert, and the intimate atmosphere of the Paris salons, where he was a frequent guest and always felt at his best, playing to the audience gathered here.
During his lifetime, F. Chopin wrote more than two hundred pieces for solo piano, but only six of them were composed for piano with orchestra. Tonight, piano virtuoso A. Paley together with the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, conducted by maestro G. Rinkevičius, will perform F. Chopin's Krakowiak, "Andante spianato", "Grande polonaise brillante" and the Second of the composer's two piano concertos of incredible beauty. Immediately after his studies in 1829-1830 wrote concerts inspired by F. Chopin's first love, 19th century. Warsaw's musical elite were recognized as genius compositions. Both concerts are carefully perfected, the solo parts are characterized by virtuosity, and the variety of sound shades of the piano. Tadeusz Zieliński, the author of a book about the life and work of F. Chopin, writes: "At first glance, the concerto in E minor may seem like the twin of the concerto in F minor - they share a similar style, concept, expression, similar details, ideas and effects. However, there are significant differences between them: the concerto in E minor reveals maturity and perfection, using traditional forms typical of the 19th century. for music, and in the F minor concert you can hear more original and surprising ideas, as well as a more delicate and intimate sound."
F. Chopin became one of the first music stars, his brilliant music, rebellious views, romances that attracted public attention (among them - with the famous French writer George Sand) and his early death turned him into a real symbol of the Romantic era. The famous Polish American pianist Arthur Rubinstein, considered one of the most famous interpreters of F. Chopin of all time, said: "Even in these times, when feelings have become unfashionable, F. Chopin remains. His music is the universal language of people. When I call F. Chopin, I know that I am speaking directly to people's hearts."
