Ukrainian conductor Oksana Lyniv is constantly breaking new ground. Now she conducts Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony and Rachmaninoff’s grandiose Piano Concerto No. 3 with lively and passion. Soloist is Swedish world pianist Roland Pöntinen.

Oksana Lyniv conducted her first orchestra at the age of 16. With strong ties to her former homeland, she is significant in the musical development there. Lyniv sees himself as a link between West and East, between Schumann and Rachmaninoff if you will.

Symphony No. 3 from 1850, called the Rhine Symphony, was the last symphony Robert Schumann wrote. He wanted to pay tribute to his hometown along the Rhine, and was inspired by Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony when he depicted folk life and idyllic landscapes along the riverbank.

The recently 150th anniversary Sergei Rachmaninoff had an artistic breakdown and after hypnosis he returned with the third piano concerto. This powerful and wistful masterpiece is a technical and artistic challenge, depicted among other things in the acclaimed feature film Shine in 1996. Roland Pöntinen has explored Rachmaninoff for a long time and is a master of piano music of this caliber.

The evening begins with music by contemporary Ukrainian composer Bohdana Frolyak, an adagio for orchestra she wrote in memory of her teacher.

2 April 2024 Låt dig överraskas, njuta och upptäcka nytt!

Med basen i en trygg punkt vågar vi möta det spännande, det som utmanar och kanske till och med det som skrämmer. För mig är det rymden som svindlar mest. Det oändliga mörkret, dit några söker sig och där andra söker. Det kan vi möta tillsammans.

10 August 2023 Passion för piano

Stora pianister har den där fantastiska förmågan att kunna omvandla sina musikaliska visioner till anslag, fraser, avrundningar, pauser, extatiska utbrott och vemodiga suckar.

Nr 4 2017-2018 Tonsättarporträtt: Sergej Rachmaninov

Rachmaninov har skrivit några av musikhistoriens mest spelade och älskade pianokonserter. På bilder ser han ofta sorgsen ut och blev bland annat kallad “två meter ryskt svårmod”. Det finns en sorgsen grundton i hans liv och den har sin berättelse.
