Dimitri Kitajenko Conductor
Anastasia Kobekina Violoncello

Dimitri Kitajenko, one of today's great Russian conductors, returns to Salzburg with the top-class Konzerthausorchester Berlin and an already very successful compatriot, the young cellist Anastasia Kobekina. She will play Tchaikovsky's highly virtuosic Rococo Variations. This masterpiece of the cello repertoire is also very Russian. Even if we follow Shakespeare's tracks with Prokofiev to Verona, where Romeo and Juliet suffer from their immortal love. To irresistible orchestral colours and rhythms. At the end there is the 2nd Symphony of a composer who is known above all as a piano master, but who was also a great symphonist of the late Romantic period: Sergei Rachmaninov. One cannot escape the harmonic art and touching melancholy of his sound language.
