Concerts with works by

Robert Schumann

Schumann and Chopin

In this concert, you can expect pure romance! Robert Schumann's Second Symphony practically glows with energy, emotion, and vitality. Written during a time of personal crises, the music tells of inner struggle, but also of triumph and hope. The finale in particular is a true fireworks display, making Schumann's genius and unwavering will to live impressively palpable. On the other hand, Frédéric Chopin's First Piano Concerto transports its listeners to a world full of elegance and passion. With virtuosic runs and enchanting melodies, Chopin demonstrates why he was celebrated as one of the greatest pianists and composers of his time. As the icing on the cake, an overture by Fanny Hensel, the sister of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who was equally as talented as her brilliant brother, will be performed.

Goldscheider. Guarrera. Festivalcampus-Ensemble Horn-Metamorphosen

Ben Goldscheider returns to Heidelberg with a program featuring Brahms, Ligeti, Widmann, Mozart, Schumann, and Simpson. His selection explores the horn's timbral and symbolic versatility. Widmann's "Air" creates illusions of near and far using natural harmonics. Mozart's Horn Quintet and concerto showcase the horn's solo potential. From Schumann's romanticism, the program shifts to Widmann's sadistic hunt and Simpson's nocturnal thrill. A public rehearsal will take place at 11 am.

Bartók Mendelssohn Bartholdy Schumann

Tragedy to Triumph

Schubert’s unstoppable Ninth Symphony is known as ‘the Great’ – and with Vladimir Jurowski bringing all his insight and imagination, you’ll hear why. For Vilde Frang, ‘music is the noblest form of communication, a constant interaction’ – and that generous philosophy, combined with her luminous, deeply expressive sound, has made this remarkable Norwegian violinist a real favourite with British audiences. Tonight, she explores the special poetry of Schumann’s only violin concerto: the tender heart of a concert that begins with Beethoven’s drama-fuelled Coriolan Overture, and ends with the wide-open spaces and pure, sunlit energy of Schubert’s unstoppable Ninth Symphony. It’s known as ‘the Great’ – and with LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladimir Jurowski bringing all his insight and imagination, you’ll hear why.*Please note change of programme from originally advertised.

Lang Lang

Lang Lang makes a bold return, with a programme demanding nothing less than his full powers—from the grace of Fauré, to the moody visions of Schumann, to the alternately delicate and vigorous sensibility of Chopin.

LPO at Saffron Hall

Not for nothing is Schubert’s expansive final symphony known as ‘The Great’ – it is music of broad vistas, lofty ambition, but also a sparkling vivacity and seamlessly stitched, intricate detail.LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladamir Jurowski brings a depth of insight and imagination to this totemic work, and to the arresting drama of Beethoven’s work. He and violinist Vilde Frang are a perfectly attuned pairing to bring out the poetry and eloquence of Schumann’s concerto. Frang is making waves. A deeply expressive communicator with a luminous sound, and astonishing technical facility, she is an ever-thoughtful interpreter.

Sebastian Breuninger, Julius Bekesch, Chaim Steller & Chirstian Giger

Gastspiel Bielefeld

Composer Fanny Hensel's work was long overshadowed by her famous brother Felix Mendelssohn, receiving proper recognition far too late. Robert Schumann's violin concerto suffered a similar fate, deemed a failed attempt and shelved by performers, with its release forbidden for 100 years. Today it's in the repertoire, and Brahms's Symphony No. 1 will form an impressive closing piece for the evening.

Schumann and Brahms

"The melodies fly so freely that one must be careful not to step on any." When listening to Johannes Brahms' Second Symphony, one can hear that he composed it almost in the midst of nature. He spent an entire summer at Lake Wörthersee in Austria, where one can still trace the landscapes that inspired his melodies. Even the audience at the time believed to hear blue skies, babbling springs, sunshine, and cool shadows in it, and to this day, it is probably his most popular work for orchestra. In contrast, Robert Schumann's Violin Concerto is very introspective, and for a long time, it stood somewhat in the shadow of other concerts of its kind. Very human and full of soulful emotions set to music, it certainly does not fall short of them!
