Discover Talent: Illia Ovcharenko

Sat, Apr 13, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Illia Ovcharenko (Piano)
With technical brilliance and emotional insight, the young Ukrainian pianist Illia Ovcharenko presents a daring programme that really packs a punch. In the fifth and final concert of the Liszt spotlight in 2023/24, he combines two visionary Romantic piano works: Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor and Robert Schumann’s Fantasie in C. Each in its own way, these works break down musical boundaries and still get even the most experienced pianists sweating. With stamina and uncompromising expressiveness, and pushing the limits of the pianistically possible, Liszt and Schumann create large arcs of suspense in which they cover the entire spectrum of human emotion. So when he performs these two milestones of piano music in Hamburg, you can be sure that Illia Ovcharenko will be giving it his all.

Thomas Dunford / Théotime Langlois de Swarte: »The Mad Lover«

Mon, Jun 17, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Théotime Langlois de Swarte (Baroque violin), Thomas Dunford (Lute)
These two Frenchmen are among the brightest rising stars of the early-music scene. The Baroque violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte was mentored by the star conductor William Christie. And Thomas Dunford has jammed on his lute with Bobby McFerrin. With their duo programme »The Mad Lover«, the two musicians travel back to 17th-century England, an era in which the ostinato groove became a virtuosic engine driving sonatas, suites and fantasias. The inspiration for this programme was a »Ground« from the stage music to the play »The Mad Lover« by John Eccles. This sensuous work, which is based on a simple recurring bass ostinato, gave Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Thomas Dunford the idea of arranging works of this kind for the charming combination of violin and lute. And they found just what they were looking for in works by Henry Purcell and the England-based Italian Nicola Matteis.
