Rachmaninov Symphony No. 2 in E minor, Op. 27
Theodosia Ntokou piano
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
The festival is thrilled to present one of the most exciting emerging instrumental talents, Greek pianist Theodosia Ntokou, who has counted Martha Argerich as her mentor since 2009. Theodosia joins the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra for all the fresh air, spontaneity and playfulness of Shostakovich's most prominent piano concerto – followed here by Rachmaninov’s symphony of infernal whirlwinds, passionate declarations of love and heartfelt longing for peace.
