Lukas Geniu\u0161as<\/strong> is one of the most exciting and prominent pianists of his generation. Praised for his talent and maturity (“The Guardian”), he is regularly invited to give recitals at such prestigious international venues as London’s Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Paris’s Salle Gaveau and Louvre Auditorium, New York’s Frick Collection, Washington’s Phillips Collection, Genoa’s Teatro Carlo Felice, Milan’s Sala Verdi, and many others. The pianist is a passionate champion of chamber music and an exceptionally curious performer who delights in performing works by contemporary composers and tackling repertoire rarely heard in concert halls.<\/p>\n

Geniu\u0161as’s critically acclaimed discography includes works by Beethoven, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, and Chopin, as well as chamber music recordings. Released by the Mirare label, his first recording of Prokofiev’s piano sonatas was awarded the “Choc de Classica” and Diapason magazine’s Recital of the Year award in 2019. In 2022, together with opera soloist Asmik Grigorian, the pianist won the prestigious Gramophone Classical Music Award for their collaborative work \u2013 the album of Rachmaninoff romances titled Dissonance.<\/p>\n

Tonight at the LVSO Concert Hall, Geniu\u0161as will present the audience with Ludwig van Beethoven’s (1770-1827) Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major. Following its premiere, the German magazine Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung wrote in 1809: “This concerto is the most admirable, singular, artistic and complex Beethoven concerto ever created.”<\/p>\n

In the second half of the concert, the Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra, conducted by its artistic director and chief conductor Gintaras Rinkevi\u010dius, will perform Symphony No. 7 by the Czech composer Anton\u00edn Dvo\u0159\u00e1k (1841-1904). Commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society, the symphony was first performed in London in 1885 and instantly won critical acclaim. “Along with the four symphonies of Brahms and Schubert’s Ninth, Dvo\u0159\u00e1k’s Seventh Symphony is among the finest and purest examples of this art form since the time of Beethoven,” wrote Sir Donald Tovey, a prominent British music analyst and musicologist of the era.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":234813,"template":"","categories":[6,4],"tags":[],"ticket-vendor":[21],"class_list":["post-234812","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-naktine-veikla","category-koncertai","ticket-vendor-bilietai-lt"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
