Alexandre Kantorow plays Saint-Saëns Alexandre Kantorow is the greatest piano sensation of recent years. In 2019 he became the first Frenchman to win the famous Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.

In addition, the orchestra plays a unique version of Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin. Of the six parts that Ravel originally wrote for piano solo, he himself arranged four parts for chamber orchestra. Marijn van Prooijen completed this version with a new arrangement of the two missing parts.

Alexandre Kantorow is voor de derde keer te gast bij het Nederlands Kamerorkest, dit keer met Saint-Saëns’ virtuoze Pianoconcert nr. 2. Daarnaast presenteert het orkest nieuwe versies van bekende meesterwerken van Rameau en Ravel.
Alexandre Kantorow speelt Saint-Saëns
Alexandre Kantorow is de grootste pianosensatie van de laatste jaren. In 2019 won hij als eerste Fransman het fameuze Tsjaikovski Concours in Moskou. Met zijn prikkelende interpretaties van Saint-Saëns’ pianoconcerten heeft hij al vaak indruk gemaakt en zijn Saint-Saëns-album bij het label BIS is uitgeroepen tot ‘beste opname van het jaar’. Dit is de derde keer dat Kantorow te gast is bij het Nederlands Kamerorkest, hetzelfde orkest dat regelmatig samenwerkte met zijn vader, de beroemde violist en dirigent Jean-Jacques Kantorow, en tevens oud-docent van Gordan Nikolić.

Franse meesterwerken in een nieuw jasje
Hoewel de Franse barokcomponist Rameau de mooiste prologen en orkestintermezzo’s schreef, heeft hij nooit een volledig werk voor orkest gecomponeerd. Speciaal voor dit concert stelde het Nederlands Kamerorkest een imaginaire symfonie samen, met hoogtepunten uit onder andere Zoroastre, Castor & Pollux en Les Indes Galantes. Daarnaast speelt het orkest een unieke versie van Ravels Le Tombeau de Couperin. Van de zes delen die Ravel oorspronkelijk voor pianosolo schreef, bewerkte hij zelf vier delen voor kamerorkest. Marijn van Prooijen voltooide deze versie met een nieuw arrangement van de twee ontbrekende delen.
