The sight of young artists fearlessly<br />

conquering concertos which strike fear<br />

into <strong>the</strong> hearts of much older players is<br />

familiar now, but 17 year old es<strong>the</strong>r Yoo’s<br />

heart-stopping blend of confidence and<br />

bravura tempered by poise is indescribably<br />

exciting, especially in Sibelius’ Violin Concerto,<br />

with which she won <strong>the</strong> 2010 Sibelius<br />

Competition in Helsinki. With its dark<br />

brooding opening, song-like slow movement<br />

and restlessly dancing finale, it’s widely<br />

regarded as <strong>the</strong> most taxing in <strong>the</strong> repertoire.<br />

Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet ballet is one of<br />

<strong>the</strong> greatest scores of <strong>the</strong> twentieth century,<br />

its transcendent “symphonic” qualities make<br />

it widely performed in <strong>the</strong> concert hall where<br />

it never fails to move audiences with its<br />

power and eloquence.<br />

Russian Conductor edvard Tchivzhel<br />

returns to Brisbane with Tchaikovsky’s<br />

symphonic poem Francesca da Rimini, a<br />

<strong>music</strong>al vortex of anguished love where <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>music</strong> demonstrates a lyrical and dramatic<br />

genius. In <strong>the</strong> final work Maestro Tchivzhel<br />

and <strong>the</strong> orchestra will sweep <strong>the</strong> audience<br />

into total submission with Rachmaninov’s<br />

Symphonic Dances, darkly glamorous, even<br />

slightly wicked <strong>music</strong> and his last orchestral<br />

work... In between, Russian pianist nikolai<br />

Demidenko, once described as a force of<br />

nature at <strong>the</strong> keyboard, in Rachmaninov’s<br />

spikily brilliant Fourth Piano Concerto. Both<br />

works prove Rachmaninov’s creative power<br />

remained undimmed at <strong>the</strong> end of his life.<br />
