SOI Spring 2023: Beethoven, Rachmaninoff & Tchaikovsky

Symphony Orchestra of India

John Axelrod, conductor
Alim Beisembayev, piano

Programme:
Beethoven: Leonore Overture No. 3
Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 “Pathétique”

The “highly imaginative and dynamic” John Axelrod makes his debut with the Symphony Orchestra of India in a programme featuring Tchaikovsky’s Sixth Symphony—the “Pathétique”, or “passionate”—which he described as “the best thing I ever composed or shall compose.” Pianist Alim Beisembayev, first prize winner at the Leeds International Piano Competition, join the SOI to perform the same work which won him the coveted award—Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini. The programme opens with Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3—one of Beethoven’s many attempts at the overture for his only opera, Fidelio, which though did not find place in the opera, has become a staple of concert repertoire.

This event runs approximately 105 minutes including one intermission.

Pre-concert talk by Dr. Cavas Bilimoria at 4:15 pm in the JBT Museum.
