Rachmaninoff Variations by Teodor Doré

Teodor Doré reimagines the legacy of Rachmaninoff in his acclaimed Variations, premiered at Carnegie Hall and now brought to Australian audiences for the first time.

Crimean-born, London-based pianist and composer Teodor Doré makes his Australian debut with a program of solo piano transcriptions of Rachmaninoff’s works (as a prologue of the piano trio program) alongside his own compositions. Following a sold-out Carnegie Hall premiere, his album Rachmaninoff Variations - recorded at Abbey Road Studios and praised by BBC Radio 3 as “fascinating” - continues to receive international acclaim. Doré is the first musician granted permission by the Rachmaninoff family to orchestrate the composer’s lost Suite in D minor. The recording will take place in Budapest in October 2025. His interpretation offers a rare and deeply personal insight into Rachmaninoff’s early style and artistic legacy. 

Presented by Teodor Doré
