Malofeev Plays Tchaikovsky

Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 1 soars under Sasha Malofeev’s dazzling musicianship on Opening Night. Leonard Bernstein’s brilliant overture to the witty operetta Candide—inspired by Voltaire’s satire—contrasts Richard Strauss’ famed Der Rosenkavalier Suite, evoking an era of splendid waltzes, courting rituals, and romance.
