Temirkanov / Royal Stockholm Po, Argerich(P)Ravel: Piano Concerto, Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet

Nobel Prize Concert 2009
Martha Argerich, piano
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra / Yuri Temirkanov, conductor

Each year Nobel Media organises a classical concert as a tribute to the Nobel Laureates. This 2009 concert features the charismatic virtuoso Martha Argerich playing Ravel's mercurial Piano Concerto in G major, supported with vivacity and polish by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and Russian conductor Yuri Temirkanov. Bringing the first half of the concert to a close, Argerich plays Chopin's tiny, gem-like Mazurka, Op. 24 No. 2 in C major. Under Temirkanov's baton, the orchestra then gives rich and insightful performances of music by Shostakovich and Prokofiev. ( Euro Arts )
