About

Mikhail Pletnev and the then newly-formed Rachmaninoff International Orchestra (RIO) performed under the baton of Kent Nagano all four Rachmaninov Piano Concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in October 2023.

The Rachmaninoff International Orchestra, is named after the composer, pianist and conductor, Sergei Rachmaninov. Like its namesake the Rachmaninoff International Orchestra is committed to achieving artistic excellence.

2023 marked the 150th anniversary of the birth of 20th-century composer Sergei Rachmaninov, whose work is beloved for its breathtaking drama, absolute passion and the extraordinary technical sophistication.

In the piano repertoire there might be no more challenging task than performing Rachmaninov’s complete piano concertos – nor an artist more up to this task than the great Mikhail Pletnev.

Rounding out this concert is legendary maestro Kent Nagano, who leads Pletnev and his ensemble with his usual deft hand and the unshakeable confidence required to unify these monumental works.

‘Mikhail Pletnev in Rachmaninoff’s concertos is the opposite of flashy and kitsch. Rarely has the theme in D minor which opens Concerto No. 3 seemed so imbued with nobility. The deluge of virtuosity that follows is never noisy, always sovereign.’ – Classica France
