The following text has been machine translated from the German with no human editing.
Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 is one of the most popular works in the Romantic piano repertoire. With its sweeping melodies, virtuoso solo passages and emotional expressiveness, it is one of the best-known compositions of the late Romantic period and, at the same time, places high demands on both the soloist and the orchestra. Alongside this masterpiece, the programme features Edvard Grieg’s colourful Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 and Antonín Dvořák’s spirited Slavonic Dance No. 8.
Paul Gurti received his initial musical training from Grigor Asmaryan at the Saarbrücken Academy of Music and is currently studying under Prof. Fedele Antonicelli at the Saar University of Music. He is a multiple prize-winner at national and international competitions.
