Bruce Liu / Piano Recital

Date & Time
Wed, Mar 13, 2024, 19:30
Every season, the »Master Pianists« concert series presents a promising young talent who has the potential to become a star. The choice was not difficult this time round: since his explosive success at the 2021 Chopin Competition in Warsaw, 25-year-old Bruce Liu has been literally swamped with concert offers. An exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon in spring 2022 was followed in the summer by an unprecedented triumphal procession from one European festival to the next. Liu’s recital programmes last... Read full text

Sein Chopin klingt wie eine eigene Sprache – universell verständlich und individuell berührend zugleich: Bruce Liu gehört aktuell zu den besten Interpreten des feinsinnigen Komponisten.Mandarin, Französisch, Englisch? Für Bruce Liu nur eine Frage des Gegenübers – in allen drei Sprachen unterhält sich der in Paris geborene Kanadier mit chinesischen Wurzeln gleichermaßen gewandt. Doch sein bestes Ausdrucksmittel ist zweifelsohne die Musik. Seit dem ersten Platz beim Chopin-Wettbewerb 2021 erreicht der junge Pianist mit seinem feinsinnigen Spiel Musikbegeisterte. Sein Chopin klingt wie eine eigene Sprache – universell verständlich und individuell berührend zugleich.

Piano Recital

Sun, Dec 1, 2024, 19:00
Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)
Grigory Sokolov (Piano)
Grigory Sokolov, photo: Mary Slepkova / DG Grigory Sokolov has worked hard to secure privileges that few contemporary musicians can boast. He gives practically no interviews, rarely visits the recording studio, has performed solo for a number of years and compiles his own recital programmes, without particularly hurrying to announce them. He first sat at a piano at the age of five, almost 70 years ago. Ever since he has been reluctant to part with his beloved instrument, especially during his lengthy performances, giving endless encores (at times as long as a separate recital). Paradoxically, he is a rare example of an artist who communicates with the outside world almost exclusively through his performances, which force reviewers into extraordinary, at times quite humorous, verbal gymnastics in search of the right concepts to describe the artistry of his playing and the aura he creates around him. A voluminous anthology of surprising metaphors might be compiled from the texts on Sokolov’s playing, which may suggest that it is impossible to capture the personality of this remarkable pianist, let alone his interpretations, in words.

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.

Arcadi Volodos / Piano Recital

Wed, Apr 3, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Arcadi Volodos (Piano)
There is nothing the Russian pianist Arcadi Volodos could not play on his instrument. He quickly made a name for himself as a specialist in the highly virtuosic repertoire, but he also has a deep insight into the music like very few pianists of his generation. The Süddeutsche Zeitung accurately described him as »a searcher, a thinker, a spiritual musician«. Arcadi Volodos is the perfect artist to perform the music of Franz Schubert, who, with the piano sonatas of his middle and late creative period, opened the door to a sound cosmos of unfathomable breadth. The Piano Sonata D 845 – a work full of drama and dark passion – is a particularly beautiful part of that cosmos.

Andrea Merlo / Piano Recital

Sat, Apr 6, 2024, 20:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Andrea Merlo (Piano)
The Polish composer Frédéric Chopin, born in 1810, was considered a child prodigy: his piano playing was technically far ahead of his time, and his use of pedals greatly expanded the tonal and technical possibilities of the instrument. Although Chopin followed in the tradition of great role models such as Bach, Mozart and Schubert, he was also particularly influenced by Polish folk music and Italian bel canto. In Chopin’s music, melodies meet great musical demands. Selected piano works by Frédéric Chopin will be performed at the Laeiszhalle by Andrea Merlo, who studied at the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre and attracted attention as a soloist at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Lukas Geniušas / Piano Recital

Mon, Apr 8, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Lukas Geniušas (Piano)
With virtuosic aplomb and an unusually broad repertoire, the Lithuanian Lukas Geniušas is making his mark as an exceptional young pianist. Geniušas combines Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor, a familiar milestone of the piano repertoire despite its many difficulties, with an exciting and rarely performed work by Frederic Rzewski, in which Geniušas takes on the role of speaking pianist. Frederic Rzewski’s »De profundis« (From the Depths) refers to a letter written by Oscar Wilde. Wilde wrote this forbidden love letter from prison after being convicted and incarcerated for his homosexuality. Spoken elements from Wilde’s text and instrumental passages become a psychological profile in word and music, through the performance of which Geniušas showcases his acting talent too. What links Rzewski’s work and Liszt’s Sonata in B Minor is their shared existential expression and revolutionary power.

»If there are any living piano gods at all, this man is definitely one of them.« Anyone who has ever heard a piano recital by Grigory Sokolov can only agree with RONDO magazine. Without show and glamour, solely through the power of his art, the exceptional pianist succeeds in turning each of his concerts into an extraordinary experience.
