Slavic masters

Alexander Gavrylyuk is at home in all markets, but music by the great Russian masters has a special place in his heart. A large part of the programme is dedicated to music by Chopin and Rachmaninov. Internationally, Gavrylyuk already made a great impression with performances of Rachmaninov's piano concertos. With the solo works of this composer, this will certainly happen again in the Edesche Concert Hall


Alexander Gavrylyuk

NRC Handelsblad writes: "Gavrylyuk is a master pianist from an early age. Anyone who at this age can already play the piano so superiorly and truly, was born with the gift of divine concentration. He seems to naturally possess all those qualities that the famous violinist Jascha Heifetz considered indispensable for a great soloist: the nerves of a bullfighter, the digestion of a farmer, the vitality of a brothel keeper, the tact of a diplomat and the concentration of a Tibetan monk"


From Bach to Rachmaninov

The programme Alexander Gavrylyuk plays in Edesche Concert Hall is a fine reflection of the diversity of his repertoire. It starts with Bach: "The foundation of the great building that is classical music," says Gavrylyuk. Haydn forms the next layer of the building: "Fragile and elegant." This is followed by Chopin, Skrjabin and Rachmaninov. Despite the different styles and periods, Gavrylyuk sees his programme as a whole: "To me, they are different chapters of the same story. It's one image."


Rachmaninov's Second Piano Sonata (version 1931)

Sergei Rachmaninov was a lifelong doubter who regularly reviewed his compositions. His First and Fourth Piano Concerts had to go. Rachmaninov was also uncertain about his robust Second Piano Sonata (1913). Is the second version from 1931, played by Alexander Gavrylyuk, really that much better now? At least a little shorter and maybe a little more transparent. Nothing changed in the intensity of the piece and Rachmaninov kept the passion and passion intact, including the heavy bells that the composer loved so much


Alexander Gavrylyuk: "I serve the music, not myself"
"The less you care about yourself, the better the music. I serve the music, not myself or my own status. It helps that I now have two little daughters. Then you experience that you're not the center of the universe yourself." "
(Read the interview with Alexander Gavrylyuk.)

For master pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk everything revolves around the beauty of the music. "No other art can move people so deeply," he said in NRC Handelsblad. And move Gavrylyuk. Whether it's music by Bach, Haydn or Chopin, or the sound poetry of the great Russians Rachmaninov and Skrjabin, every note is a match for this unparalleled piano phenomenon.
