Rimsky-Korsakoff’s piano concerto is one of the most obscure works of Russian Romanticism. Written in 1883 in memory of Franz Liszt, this work, with its monothematic structure based on a Russian folk theme, made a great impression on Balakirev, who was surprised to hear such an idiomatically written soloist part by a composer who was not himself a pianist. At the age of fourteen, Zlata Chochieva had played the work under the direction of Mikhail Pletnev, then director of the Russian National Orchestra. For her, this concerto remains a “miracle of taste, poetry and inspiration”. Her intelligent and clear playing is perfectly suited to the very delicate lyricism that Rimsky-Korsakoff employs in this magnificent score full of numerous and subtle contrasts. |
