成人快手

Lauren Zhang brings youthful verve to a performance of Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto. Described as the "Everest of piano concertos" because of the scale of the technical demands it makes on its pianist, it also covers a huge emotional terrain in its adventurous musical design. Zhang is reunited with the conductor Mark Wigglesworth: with whom she won the 成人快手 Young Musician competition in 2018 performing Prokofiev.
And Prokofiev's Symphony no 7 precedes the concerto performance. The 成人快手 Scottish Symphony Orchestra will perform this melancholic work, from 1957.
Prokofiev is a Russian composer, and another Russian-born composer is Alissa Firsova. The orchestra begins its concert with a performance of her ecstatically romantic music "Die Windsbraut", inspired by the tragic love affair between Alma Mahler and Oskar Kokoschka as depicted in his titular painting, "The Bride of the Wind".
