Rachmaninoff: Complete Works for Cello and Piano

We invite you to enjoy the masterpieces of Sergei Rachmaninoff at the Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam , a historic Renaissance church in the heart of the city. A talented duo, formed by violist Leonardo Badila and pianist Alexander Doronin , presents an intimate evening devoted to the deep soul and soaring passion of Rachmaninoff’s music, with his works for cello and piano reimagined here for viola. The warm, human voice of the viola entwines with the piano’s thunder and tenderness, revealing every shade of the composer’s romantic world. Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) was a composer, a conductor and one of the finest pianists of his time. He is regarded as one of the last great voices of the Romantic tradition, and his music is admired for its long, singing melodies, rich harmonies and emotional depth. In a chamber setting, these qualities can be heard at their most direct and personal. The concert is organised by RED EVENTS & Distribution Ltd ., an international cultural events producer known for creating distinctive experiences in atmospheric and architecturally remarkable settings, from churches, cathedrals and historic mansions to rooftops, greenhouses and other unconventional venues across Europe, the United Kingdom, Azerbaijan, Georgia and beyond.
