Pianist Lim Dong-hyek to perform Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in Seoul

Pianist Lim Dong-hyek will perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in Seoul this November with conductor Adriel Kim and Orchestra The Original. The concert, titled Reboot, marks Lim’s first performance of the concerto in four years and his first collaboration with the orchestra. Kim will also conduct Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7, and the program includes the world premiere of Thai composer Narong Prangcharoen’s newly commissioned Vanishing Silence.

Lim has scaled back his recent concert appearances.

Rachmaninoff wrote the concerto after overcoming profound despair and regaining his creative confidence.

The program spans concerto repertoire, symphonic works and contemporary compositions.

Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7 is one of his three major late-period symphonies and is described as having dark emotional intensity and a tightly woven musical structure.

Pianist Lim Dong-hyek will perform one of the most beloved works in the piano repertoire when he performs Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 under the baton of creative conductor Adriel Kim this November.

Having scaled back his recent concert appearances, Lim will perform the concerto for the first time in four years, making the occasion a particularly meaningful encounter with audiences.

The concert marks the first collaboration between Lim and Orchestra The Original. Audiences will be watching to see how Lim’s delicate touch and Kim’s meticulous conducting combine to create a distinctive musical dialogue.

At the heart of the program is Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Written after the composer overcame a period of profound despair and regained his creative confidence, the work has remained a favorite among audiences for its lyrical melodies and sweeping emotions. Lim’s return to the concerto after four years adds another layer of anticipation, with listeners eager to hear how his interpretation has evolved over time. The concert’s title, “Reboot,” further underscores the significance of the music.

Kim will also lead the orchestra through a program spanning concerto repertoire, symphonic works and contemporary compositions. Following his collaboration with Lim, he will conduct Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7, bringing the orchestra’s rich ensemble sound and the work’s dramatic narrative to the fore.

One of Dvořák’s three major late-period symphonies, Symphony No. 7 is distinguished by its dark emotional intensity and tightly woven musical structure. Hearing how Kim navigates its tension and lyricism is expected to be another highlight of the evening.

The concert will also feature a world premiere. "Vanishing Silence," a newly commissioned work by Thai composer Narong Prangcharoen, will be performed for the first time by Orchestra The Original. By performing a contemporary composition alongside established masterpieces, the program seeks to highlight both the enduring appeal and the evolving landscape of classical music.

From Lim’s revisit of Rachmaninoff and Kim’s interpretation of Dvořák to the unveiling of a newly commissioned work, the concert promises an opportunity to experience familiar masterpieces from a fresh perspective while also witnessing the birth of a new musical creation.

今年11月，钢琴家林东赫将在富有创意的指挥家金安德烈的执棒下，演奏拉赫玛尼诺夫第二钢琴协奏曲，这是钢琴曲目中最受欢迎的作品之一。

林志强近期减少了音乐会演出，此次将是他四年来首次演奏这首协奏曲，因此这次演出对于观众来说意义非凡。

这场音乐会是林与The Original乐团的首次合作。观众们将拭目以待，看看林细腻的演奏和金一丝不苟的指挥如何融合，创造出独具特色的音乐对话。

音乐会的核心曲目是拉赫玛尼诺夫第二钢琴协奏曲。这部作品创作于作曲家走出人生低谷、重拾创作信心之后，其抒情的旋律和饱满的情感一直深受听众喜爱。林时隔四年重返乐坛，演奏这部协奏曲，更增添了一份期待，听众们渴望聆听他随着时间的推移，对作品的诠释发生了怎样的变化。音乐会的主题“重启”（Reboot）也进一步凸显了这部作品的意义。

金将指挥乐团演奏一系列协奏曲、交响乐作品和当代作品。继与林合作之后，他将指挥德沃夏克第七交响曲，充分展现乐团丰富的合奏音色和作品跌宕起伏的叙事性。

德沃夏克的第三交响曲是其晚期三大交响曲之一，第七交响曲以其深沉的情感张力和严密的音乐结构而著称。聆听金恩惠如何演绎其中的张力与抒情，预计将成为当晚的另一大亮点。

音乐会还将带来一场世界首演。由泰国作曲家纳隆·普朗查伦（Narong Prangcharoen）全新委约创作的作品《消逝的寂静》（Vanishing Silence）将由“原创乐团”（Orchestra The Original）首次演奏。通过将当代作品与经典名作并置呈现，这场音乐会旨在凸显古典音乐经久不衰的魅力及其不断发展的面貌。

从林对拉赫玛尼诺夫作品的重新演绎和金对德沃夏克作品的诠释，到新委约作品的揭幕，这场音乐会承诺将提供一个机会，让观众以全新的视角体验熟悉的杰作，同时见证新音乐作品的诞生。
