DVD + Blu-Ray:
Chailly & Malofeev Play Rachmaninoff

Chailly & Malofeev trace Rachmaninoff’s journey from youthful brilliance to final mastery at the 2024 Lucerne Festival.

In 2024, Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra continued their acclaimed Rachmaninoff cycle with a concert spanning the composer's lifetime: from the youthful freshness of the composer's earliest works like the rarely performed Youth Symphony and his Piano Concerto No. 1, to the musical mastery and maturity of his last major work, the Symphonic Dances. Young piano prodigy Alexander Malofeev, in whose repertoire Rachmaninoff's music occupies a special place, gave his much-lauded Lucerne Festival debut as the soloist of the evening with an electrifying performance.
