Alexander Krichel / Piano Recital

There are hardly any composers for whom the term »piano composer« applies as much as for Frédéric Chopin and Sergei Rachmaninov. Both were deeply committed to the black and white keys, both as musicians and as composers. Chopin’s highly sensitive and naturally flowing compositions are characterised above all by the delicacy of sound and colour. Rachmaninov, on the other hand, is characterised by an absolute loss of control and emotional extremes ranging from the deepest romantic sentiment to the hottest drama. A perfect combination for the Hamburg pianist Alexander Krichel, whose playing has been praised by the press as »highly emotional« and »tremendously powerful«.

Alexander Krichel / Sabin Tambrea

On this concert evening, pianist Alexander Krichel and actor and narrator Sabin Tambrea bring a forgotten genre back to the stage: melodrama. This unique form of art combines spoken text with music in a dramatic performance. In works by Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss and Max von Schillings, the two artists present both mystical, dark encounters and romantic, dramatic love scenes.
