Discover the dramatic origin story of two of Russia’s most compelling musical voices — Sergei Rachmaninoff and Alexander Scriabin. Though classmates at the Moscow Conservatory, their lives and legacies took vastly different paths, each developing a distinct artistic voice that shaped the course of modern music. In this immersive multimedia presentation, pianist Konstantin Soukhovetski explores the composers’ intertwined history through storytelling, historical footage and live performance. The program features beloved and lesser-known works, including Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp minor, Melodie and Polichinelle, alongside Scriabin’s Étude in C-sharp minor, Nocturne and more. Illuminating and emotionally rich, this unique program offers a fresh look at two giants of the Romantic Era.

From an early age, Alexander Gadjiev found the piano entertaining. He was particularly amused by how easy it is to produce a note, but how difficult it is to shape notes. This childhood enthusiasm developed into something more: at the age of nine, Alexander Gadjiev played with an orchestra for the first time. At ten, he had his first solo performance, followed in the years that followed by top marks and a long list of competition successes. But the Italian-Slovenian pianist has more than just a technical talent for the keyboard. He also considers his fluency in five languages ​​a key to his success, allowing him to absorb and process different musical styles and languages, adapting them to his own taste. With his nuanced touch, he will guide the audience through masterpieces of piano literature on July 3. Short character pieces by the humanist ambassador Beethoven will be followed by Polish folklore by the introspective Chopin. Dreamy sound vignettes by Debussy fade into Scriabin's expressive etudes, and finally, Mussorgsky's piano cycle opens the doors to a musical foray into the exhibition of his friend, the painter Viktor Hartmann.

“It is all too common for many young virtuosos to offer more flair than substance. But Alexander Malofeev is no ordinary prodigy…Rachmaninoff unfolded in multiple dimensions, with playing of fiery intensity and searching expression. Malofeev worked like a sculptor, reveling in the first movement’s melodic curves and thick textures. His pearly tone made the quiet moments shimmer, and the finale sounded with a hymn-like serenity.” (Boston Classical Review)
