“What makes things genius? Details!” ~ Natasha Paremski
Born in Moscow, Russian-American pianist Natasha Paremski moved to the United States at the age of eight, becoming a U.S. citizen shortly thereafter. She is a passionate chamber musician and a regular recital partner of Zuill Bailey.
Tune in Monday, June 6th at 8:00 p.m. to hear her step into the spotlight to play Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.
Andreas Delfs also conducts Kurt Weill’s Suite from The Threepenny Opera, showcasing American jazz’s influence and featuring the banjo, bandoneon, and a trap set. Boris Blacher’s Orchestral Variations on a Theme by Paganini opens with Paganini’s theme, finishing with a grand ending. Aram Khachaturian’s Suite from Spartacus thrills from the start.
The soloist Natasha Paremski calls the Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini “so satiating.”
She told WXXI’s Julia Figueras, “The melodic writing is just out of this world. It's really stunning, and there are so many inner voices and motifs going in and out. I sometimes you think, oh, which voice am I going to bring out today?”
