The great Slavic piano tradition has always been rooted in the in-depth study of the great masters, leading to numerous transcriptions of works by Baroque composers. Pianists Irina Krasnyanskaya and Jean-Fabien Schneider return to the roots with brilliant transcriptions of Bach and Handel’s music, as well as with a two-piano version of Prokofiev’s delightful Classical Symphony, in which the composer humorously revisits 18th-century music.

At the crossroads of Europe, musicians from foreign lands lived, worked, and composed across the territories of the Russian Empire, Poland, and Ukraine. The ensemble Les Temps Perdus, conducted by Elizaveta Miller, highlights these unique voices — Franz Xaver Mozart, John Pratsch, Anton Titz, Anton Eberl, Domenico Dall’Oglio — who bridged Western traditions with East-European contexts, while never renouncing their own identity. The program concludes with a work by Valentin Silvestrov, the Ukrainian composer and a leading figure in contemporary music, whose poetic voice resonates today with particular intensity.
