Brahms' second piano concerto

Wed, May 14, 2025, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Stéphane Denève (Conductor), Víkingur Ólafsson (Piano)
Icelandic Víkingur Ólafsson is currently one of the world's most acclaimed and sought-after pianists. The New York Times coined him ”Iceland's Glenn Gould”, and his recordings are showered with five-star reviews. This season, he is the Artist-in-Residence at Konserthuset Stockholm.Following the success of Bach's Goldberg Variations, which he performed to a full house here at Konserthuset last season, he now takes on another of the classical music world's great B's – Brahms. He presents Beethoven's late piano sonatas in a solo recital a few days before this concert, and now Brahms with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.Brahms was at the height of his fame and ironically referred to composing a "tiny piano concerto" in letters. It is, of course, quite the opposite, with music brimming with drama, passion, and sincerity. Unlike his first, Brahms's second piano concerto was a success right from its premiere.French conductor Stéphane Denève also leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in American Stacy Garrop's beautiful Penelope Waits from 2013, inspired by Greek mythology, and mythological music with dance themes by Paul Dukas and Richard Strauss.

Hélène Grimaud plays Schumann's Piano Concerto

Wed, Apr 17, 2024, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Jakub Hrůša (Conductor), Hélène Grimaud (Piano)
»Two souls dwell, alas! in my heart« – Schumann knew only too well this dilemma described by Goethe in »Faust«: in his life, highs and lows, creative rushes and crises continually alternated. When he composed his piano concerto in 1845, he was living with his family in Dresden – where, however, he hardly played a role next to Wagner. And so the sounds of this touching work tell of his suffering and longings. Immortalised in the notes is his beloved wife Clara, who thought of it: »How rich in invention, how intriguing from the beginning to the end.« We look forward to the interpretations of Lukáš Vondráček and Hélène Grimaud – who is often described as a musical philosopher. The fact that Clara and Brahms were one heart and soul must have been a thorn in Schumann‘s side. Even after his tragic demise, the two of them remained close and consulted each other on artistic matters. After Brahms completed his elaborate third symphony in the summer of 1883 in the Wiesbaden region, Clara raved about its »mysterious spell«: »What poetry, the most harmonious mood throughout it all, the movements all as if from one mould, a heartbeat, each movement a gem!« Two Wagner pieces full of deep psychological tensions will serve as a frame of reference for us: The stage-saga about the swan knight Lohengrin, first performed in 1850, takes us into an environment detached from the hustle and bustle of the world – but into which reality crashes bitterly. The Tannhäuser opera of 1845 revolves around an outsider: he is torn between sinful passion and the desire for godly love – and only finds redemption in death, according to Wagner with the reconciliation of the elements: »Spirit and senses, God and nature embrace in the holy and uniting kiss of love.«
