“The textures [in the Tchaikovsky] are lighter and sprinkled with arpeggios…Pomp has gone; the mood is poetic, as though we had dipped into Schumann’s piano concerto by mistake…Pianist and orchestra pounce on the [Prokofiev’s] pungent rhythms like hungry lions and stir burning energy and rage. This is Gerstein’s first concerto album and it’s definitely one you notice.”

Event Details
With Don Giovanni, Mozart and Da Ponte successfully created a masterwork of the operatic canon. In this dramma giocoso or ‘lighthearted drama’, they achieved—through Mozart’s sophisticated psychological composition, spellbinding melodies, and brilliant instrumentation—an extraordinary study of human nature that, in Kirill Serebrennikov’s fearless hands, brings up compelling questions about sex, the power of seduction, the pursuit of individual freedom, and the right to defy societal norms.
