St. Petersburg Philharmonic Yuri Temirkanov conductor Nikolai Lugansky piano Saturday, April 2 8 PM HILL AUDITORIUM • ANN ARBOR With a history dating back more than 200 years, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic is embedded with musical history, performing the world premiere of Beethoven s Missa Solemnis in 1824, as well as Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6, Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1, and many works by Shostakovich. Pianist Nikolai Lugansky, who won the 1994 Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, makes his UMS debut. A Russian newspaper said of his performance in the final round of competition: "It was like getting sunstroke, a musical shock. Nobody could imagine that the soul of this unpretentious, modest young man, with his ascetic, but also poetic appearance, held such a volcano inside with inspired and resolute control." 0 PROGRAM Rachmaninoff Rimsky-Korsakov Piano Concerto No. 2 in c minor, Op. 18 (1900-01) Scheherazade, Op. 35 (1888) 10:11 MAJOR ORCHESTRAS SPONSORED BY FOREST SPONSORED IN PART SY DONALD MORELOCK.
