Hitchcock's Vertigo, Mozart, Rachmaninoff and Amin Tafreshi
Van Engelenhoven presents a highly diverse program this evening. After a beloved Mozart sonata, you'll hear his latest collaboration with composer Ramin Amin Tafreshi in a world premiere of a major work that will reflect on the questions and tensions of our time. After the intermission, you'll hear music by composers who all lived on the West Coast of the United States, but whose roots lay elsewhere. Famous preludes by Rachmaninoff are followed by film scores by Franz Waxman and Bernard Herrmann, including a suite from Hitchcock's Vertigo , composed and arranged by Van Engelenhoven.
Ramon van Engelenhoven
In 2015, he won the Grand Finale of the Young Pianist Foundation competition and was the very first laureate to receive the Youri Egorov Grand Prix—a recognition of talent with international potential. Since his previous recital at the Concertgebouw, he made waves at the 2023 Prinsengracht Concert. His recently released CD, "Korngold – A Portrait for Piano," was nominated for an Edison Award. "Van Engelenhoven delivers an impressive calling card and proves to be a passionate advocate of Korngold's music," the jury stated.
