Among other things Director of the State Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia Ruzanna Sirunyan noted: "The whole program of the concert has a quite rich program.

Bernd Glemser (born 1962, Dürbheim) is a German pianist. A student of Vitaly Margulis, in 1989 he became Germany's youngest piano professor at Saarbrücken's Musikhochschule. He has recorded major pieces by Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Schumann, Scriabin, and Tchaikovsky as well as pieces by Liszt, Tausig, Godowski and Busoni. In 2003 Glemser was decorated with the Bundesverdienstkreuz. The pianist has particular affinity for the works of Sergey Rachmaninov. This makes Glemser the obvious choice for Wolfgang Sawallisch to have invited to perform the composer's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The ensemble, which recorded with Rachmaninov during the composer's lifetime, celebrated its 100th birthday with this work.
