A song without words that is most expressive. A piano concerto that brought its composer out of a state of deep depression. A symphony that finally erases a devastating failure. Rachmaninoff's works are fascinating for the history of their creation. Although the critics of the time found them sentimental and nostalgic, we love to listen to them because they are beautiful!…

The orchestral version of Vocalise originally written for voice and piano, and a gem of the vocal repertoire, will open the concert, followed by the Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by Anna Vinnitskaya, described by the Washington Post as "a true lioness" and by Gramophone as "an unforgettable and sparkling interplay of light and shadow". After the interval, the monumental musical triumph, Symphony No. 2, is played.
"Why do you need words when you can express everything better and more articulately with your voice and your interpretation than anyone can with words?" - Rachmaninoff wrote to singer Antonina Nezhdanova, to whom he dedicated the last of the Op. 34 14 songs. The vocal part of Vocalise must be performed on a preferred vowel. The sustained notes and supple melodies create an almost violin-like sound. It's no wonder that many instrumental versions of the popular song have been written, with the orchestral version being created by the composer himself. This orchestration perhaps enhances the sensuality and hypnotic beauty of the piece.
Speaking of hypnosis... In 1901, Rachmaninoff completed his Piano Concerto No. 2, which was a breakthrough for him: it helped him stop drinking and overcome the depression caused by a failed performance. After the failure of Symphony No. 1, he thought he was incapable of composing. He devoted the piece that brought the breakthrough to his physician, Nicolai Dahl, who helped not only his recovery but also the creation of the work with hypnotherapy. The traditional three-movement piano concerto with its beautiful melodies, exciting dialogues, several wind solos and solemn C major finale became the conclusion of a successful therapy. The composer never again fell into depression.
But writing symphonies remained a sensitive issue. Rachmaninoff returned to the genre only after a decade of failure, and was dissatisfied with his first drafts. He forced himself to adapt the work, and in 1908, as conductor, he led the first performance in St. Petersburg to success. He was awarded the Glinka Prize for this as well as for the Piano Concerto. He had completely overcome his trauma. The opening movement of the hour-long work begins with a slow introduction that is suggestive and brooding. It then gradually builds to a stormy development. The themes recur as motifs in later movements. A more serene scherzo using the Dies irae melody, and a slow movement containing one of the composer's most beautiful motifs follow, before a bright, richly orchestrated, triumphant finale brings the work to a close.

Ünnepeljétek velünk az idén 10 éve megújult Várkert Bazár jubileumi kulturális évadát a május 31-től június 2-ig tartó VárkertFeszt művészeti fesztiválunkon! A háromnapos rendezvénysorozaton izgalmas családi eseményekkel, fergeteges koncertekkel, irodalmi programokkal, tárlatvezetésekkel, workshopokkal és különleges gasztro-meglepetésekkel várjuk a kicsiket és a nagyokat a Várkert Bazárban.
A történet két szélhámosról szól: Lawrence úriember, akiről könnyen elhisszük, hogy nemesi sarj, egy száműzött uralkodó; Freddy Benson azonban kisstílű. Meséjében szegény, beteg nagymamájának gyűjt könyöradományokat. Kettejük barátsága akkor kezdődik, amikor kiderül, hogy mindketten a Riviérán kívánnak turistákat kifosztani, és rájönnek, hogy szövetkezve könnyebb. A Steve Martin és Michael Caine játékával fémjelzett film nem véletlenül ihlette meg a „színházcsinálókat”. A fordulatokban gazdag és rendkívül humoros történet kiváló zenével fűszerezve robbant be a Broadwayre, útját azóta is töretlen nevetésorkán, tapsvihar és díjeső övezi.
Macskabál van az elhagyott színház ódon színpadán. Minden évben egyszer megrendezik a bált, és erre összegyűlnek a környék - nagyon is emberi tulajdonságokkal felruházott - macskái. Eltáncolják és eldalolják életüket.
Stephen, the king Levente Szörényi - János Bródy
Minden idők egyik legkedveltebb romantikus története, az ikonikus film sikeréhez méltó, musicalként születik újjá a Madách Színház színpadán.
