Description
Fedor Rudin
– Violin
Boris Kuznetsov
– Piano
The Russian-French violinist and conductor Fedor Rudin, who has been nominated for the International Classical Music Award, traces his own family heritage in his new studio album “Heritage” together with pianist Boris Kuznetsov. The focus is on his famous grandfather Edison Denisov, who taught and composed in Moscow until the 1990s and thus made a key contribution to the diversity of Russian music after 1945. As a critical contemporary and generational successor to Prokofiev and Shostakovich, Edison Denisov (1929-1996) developed his very own musical language. Today, he is considered one of the great pioneers of Russian post-war modernism.
The concert program includes Denisov’s Three Concert Pieces op. 15, the First Sonata for Violin and Piano op. 80 by Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) and the Suite in the Old Style (1972) by Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998).
Tickets for 26 euros in the Great Hall and 18 euros in the Salon (reduced 8 euros) are available in our webshop.
