2. Tchaikovsky and Saariaho with Mälkki

Italian pianist Beatrice Rana, who has ferocious technique but is distinguished by her musical intelligence (The New York Times), plays the quintessential Russian piano concerto. The LA Phils brilliant Principal Guest Conductor, Susanna Mlkki, is widely regarded for her skill at presenting new music in the clearest possible light. She gave the world premiere of her fellow Finns Vista in early 2021, describing it as a piece that reveals new horizons. The ever-unfolding world of Kaija Saariahos soundscape is rich and broad, and the orchestral palette is novel. Mlkki also illuminates the kaleidoscopic colors of Alexander Scriabins sensual and spiritual The Poem of Ecstasy.
