Conductor Matthias Bamert Piano Nikolai Demidenko

Arweinydd Matthias Bamert Piano Nikolai Demidenko

Rossini Overture, La Gazza Ladra Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 4 Prokofiev Suite Romeo and Juliet

Rossini Agorawd La Gazza Ladram Rachmaninov Concerto i’r Piano Rhif 4 Prokofiev Cyfres Romeo a Juliet

Two great Russian classics by Rachmaninov and Prokoviev.

Rachmaninov poured an inexhaustible stream of lyrical melody into his Fourth Piano Concerto, whilst Prokoviev unlocked the full bittersweet drama of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers in his ballet Romeo and Juliet.

Dau glasur Rwsiaidd gan Rachmaninov a Prokoviev.

Mae Pedwaredd Concerto i’r Piano Rachmaninov yn fôr o alawon telynegol, a llwyddodd Prokoviev i ddatgloi drama chwerwfelys carwyr anffodus Shakespeare yn gyflawn yn ei fale Romeo a Juliet.
