Rachmaninov dedicated his Piano Concerto No. 2 (1901) to Nikolai Dahl because he was the doctor who pulled the young artist out of deep depression. The piece was the first evidence that the composer had returned to life. This fiendishly difficult work, which is also about the descent into hell, is presented in detail by Gábor Hollerung as the closing event in the 2013-14 ‘Understandable Music’ series. The soloist will be Roman Rabinovich, the highly promising Israeli pianist and winner of the Rubinstein Competition in 2008.
