Beloved Music
This concert was in memory of Raisa Gorbachev. It was performed by my Metro Philharmonic in Moscow in 2002 with soloists and chorus. The program consists of works that she loved best as told me my Mikhail and Irina Gorbachev. It consists of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, piano soloist Pavel Nersisyan, (first movement), excerpts from Swan Lake, the final two movements of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony, Schubert's Ave Maria sung by Lolita Semyenina of the Bolshoi Theater, Mahler's Adagietto from his Fifth Symphony, a Russian Romance called Utra Tumannaya (Misty Morning) sung by the chorus of the Alfred Schnittke Conservatory, and the Libera Me from the Verdi Requiem. After that, Mikhail Gorbachev unexpectedly mounts the stage with his family and gives an emotional quite off the cuff talk. We end the program with Va Pensiero (Chorus of the Jews) from Verdi's Nabucco.
