— Intermission 20 min —

Gustav Holst

The Planets, op. 32
(with the participation of young musicians from the Gulbenkian Orchestra Course)
Total approximate duration: 110 min.

A pianist of exceptional sensitivity, Boris Giltburg is one of today’s most fascinating concert pianists making his debut at Gulbenkian Music. After an immersion in the works of Beethoven and Ravel, Giltburg has now dedicated himself to Rachmaninoff, with Gramophone magazine writing that “his originality comes from a convergence of heart and mind, served by immaculate technique and motivated by a deep and abiding love for one of the greatest composer-pianists of the 20th century”. Under the direction of Giancarlo Guerrero, and joined by the young musicians of the Gulbenkian Orchestra Course, the Gulbenkian Orchestra will also play Gustav Holst’s celebrated orchestral suite The Planets.
