Lang Lang / Piano Recital

Wed, Mar 6, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Lang Lang (Piano)
An interviewer recently asked Lang Lang what his thoughts were about the word genius. The pianist answered that he thought nothing of it, adding that he was happy first and foremost to be a musician and to perform masterpieces from past and present for concert audiences. Lang Lang’s greatest aim in any concert, he went on, was to make a connection with the audience through music – to elicit emotions and to give something that people would remember. It’s nearly three years since Lang Lang gave his last solo recital in Hamburg. With a well-balanced programme of Gabriel Fauré, Robert Schumann and Frédéric Chopin, he will once again do the honours in the Grand Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.

Lang Lang plays Schumann, Chopin and Fauré

Tue, Nov 12, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Lang Lang (Piano)
Celebrity pianist Lang Lang opens our piano series with an evening of high romanticism. Frédéric Chopin’s mazurkas are a fascinating combion of folk-dance vigour with virtuosity and a sensitive awareness of sound, and Schumann’s Kreisleriana cycle bubbles over with imagination and emotion. Schumann’s cycle portrayed the composer in eight pieces, which together give – he wrote – a “picture of my character, my endeavours”. To open the concert, Lang Lang plays Gabriel Fauré’s Pavane, which combines romantic sensitivity with archaic baroque references.

Cinematic Symphony on Organ / Fritz Lang / Metropolis with live music

Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 20:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Karol Mossakowski (Organ)
Cinematic Symphony on OrganOrgan improvisation complements old cinema exceptionally well, lending century-old films a new dimension. The concept is almost as old as cinematography itself. The first screening with an organ took place in 1908, at the Alcazar Theatre in Chicago. That was how silent movies – accompanied by the one-person orchestra at the manuals – would celebrate their triumphs for the next two decades, until talking movies were invented and popularised in the late 30s and early 40s. The purpose-built instruments even earned their own name: the film or theatre organ. If there was a thing they could not do! Among the sound effects they could imitate, one could find snoring, laughter, and even… kisses. The organ could yell for revenge, frantically pull at something or someone with sharp claws, cry bitter tears of sorrow, weep for love, moan at pangs of conscience, cry like a baby, giggle like a toddler, and even… bark like a dog. A musician who can improvise at the organ for film is a true rarity. They must be able to join melodies, harmonies and counterpoint together into a neat musical form. And simultaneously, to follow the picture being shown at the moment… Concert duration: approximately 150 minutes
