DESCRIPTION

Details: Lukáš Vondrácek and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Scarcely do we encounter a connection between a musician and a composer so close, strong and energising. When, at the age of 15, Vondrácek was invited by Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Czech Philharmonic to perform Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 1, he had garnered international acclaim at numerous concerts and competitions. Just a year later, the pianist toured the USA and appeared at Carnegie Hall. At the age of 29, he triumphed at the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels (2016), performing Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3, conducted by Marin Alsop. Love at first listen, Rachmaninoff has become his flagship composer: "Besides affording the opportunity to showcase one's technique, his music impresses by being contrastive and having an immense dynamic range... What more could a person keen on tone colour wish? It's sheer beauty!" Lukáš Vondrácek has been invited to perform Rachmaninoff's concertos by the most prominent orchestras and conductors worldwide. The present album is one of the few sweet fruits of the Covid pandemic, which cleared the soloist's otherwise jam-packed diary and afforded him peaceful time for recording. The booklet contains an interview with Lukáš Vondrácek, within which he provides an account of his ample experience of and great affinity to Rachmaninoff. Yet the most powerful confession is the recording itself, made with the superb Prague Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Tomáš Brauner, capturing performances rendering every detail, teeming with emotion, colour and contrast. Sheer beauty indeed! Rachmaninoff in Lukáš Vondrácek's hands. A lavish musical feast.
