Michael Tilson Thomas : Monumental

During his long-awaited residency at the OSM, the great American conductor Michael Tilson Thomas was to conduct Grieg’s “Two Elegiac Songs” and then lead us into Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, a masterpiece of the concerto repertoire that is by turns scathing, lyrical, meditative and then explosive, and that puts the 21-year-old Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev to the test. Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, in a peak of majesty and grandeur, closes this monumental program.

However, the OSM announced on Tuesday that Russian pianist Alexander Malofeev would not perform the Prokofiev Concerto on March 9, 10 and 13, given the context that we know and that has been widely commented on in the public space. “The Tragic Overture” by Brahms will therefore replace the performance of the gifted soloist.
