A Rachmaninoff Feast with Alissa Firsova & David Cohen

Join us for a musical extravaganza featuring Alissa Firsova & David Cohen, indulging in a feast of Rachmaninoff's timeless masterpieces!

Alissa Firsova is returning to the Amsterdam Piano Series with some masterpieces by Serge Rachmaninoff. After the Preludes, op. 23, she’ll be joined by cellist David Cohen for a journey through the lush Sonata, op. 19.

Rachmaninoff

Lose yourself in the luscious world of Rachmaninoff. Inspired by the sets of preludes by Bach, Chopin and Scriabin, Rachmaninoff immortalised his own set, showcasing some of his most masterful piano-writing, with shining virtuosity, soaring tunes and heartfelt melancholy, reflecting his piano concertos and symphonies. Tonight we hear his extraordinary first set of 10 Preludes.

Alissa Firsova & David Cohen

One of the most exciting cellists of our time, David Cohen joins Alissa Firsova in the second half for what promises to be a powerhouse performance of a piano-concerto of another kind, the Sonata for cello and piano. Leader of the cellos of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), David Cohen is also in demand in leading festivals and concert halls of the world as soloist, chamber-musician and conductor and recently performed a monumental Elgar Cello Concerto with Antonio Pappano together with his musical family, LSO. Not to be missed!
