Georgian pianist David Khrikuli, laureate of numerous international competitions and one of the most exciting young pianists of his generation, brings Rachmaninoff's beloved Piano Concerto No. 2 to life in all its soaring lyricism, brooding passion and breathtaking virtuosity. The concert culminates in Dvořák's Symphony No. 8, a score of radiant invention and folk-infused warmth, brimming with melodic generosity and the unmistakable joy of a composer at the height of his powers.
