Khatia Buniatishvili - Recital: Ravel, Mussorgsky. Live HD at Salle Pleyel (March 4th 2014).

The exciting Venezuelan conductor Domingo Hindoyan leads the LA Phil in Prokofiev’s majestic Fifth Symphony, conceived by the composer as “glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit” set against the backdrop of World War II drawing to a close. Khatia Buniatishvili is “an extraordinary pianist with a magnificent technique, an inherent musicality and … a genuine musical personality” (Los Angeles Times), and the Georgian pianist returns for Rachmaninoff’s heart-on-its-sleeve Second Piano Concerto.

Walt Disney Concert Hall

The irrepressibly virtuosic Khatia Buniatishvili returns to Carnegie Hall for her highly anticipated debut in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. Buniatishvili has earned legions of fans with her “fantastic fingers, a charismatic stage presence, a warm, glowing tone and strongly expressed ideas” (Gramophone), and her performances always boast fleet-fingered fireworks. With multiple works by Liszt, two Beethoven piano sonatas, and Stravinsky’s Three Movements from Pétrouchka on the program (the latter composed for pianist Arthur Rubinstein), this concert is an excellent recommendation for anyone interested in essential piano repertoire.

Carnegie Hall

With its numerous stages, its very eager audience and generous institutions (such as the Royal Philharmonic Society), London has always been a magnet for artists. Hosted by Khatia Buniatishvili (with Tchaikovsky), Jaap van Zweden and the Gstaad Festival Orchestra, this evening is a magnificent showcase for the city. The Seventh Symphony was Dvořák's first commissioned work. Premiered to thunderous applause on April 22, 1885 at St. James's Hall, it raised the delicate question for the Czech composer of where to draw the line between his natural inclination to let his heart and Moravian roots speak for themselves and the (new for him) need to appeal to an audience accustomed to the codes of “Western” Romanticism, embodied in particular by his mentor Johannes Brahms. With his characteristic talent and generosity, the great Antonin got it absolutely right... first time around!
