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.

Bruce Liu / Piano Recital

Wed, Mar 13, 2024, 19:30
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Bruce Liu (Piano)
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 year always included compositions by Rameau, Ravel, Liszt and Chopin – music that Bruce Liu connects with his native Paris, and that will also be on his first album. »Music has a power that helps me put my emotional house in order« – this is how the Canadian pianist with Chinese roots describes the importance of piano playing in his life.

Alexander Yakovlev / Piano Recital

Mon, Apr 1, 2024, 17:00
Laeiszhalle, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Alexander Yakovlev (Piano)
Alexander Yakovlev is a graduate of the Rostov State Conservatory, where he also completed postgraduate studies with Sergei Osipenko and studied composition with Leonid Klinichev. He then studied at the Salzburg Mozarteum with Alexei Lyubimov and in Berlin at the University of the Arts with Pascal Devoyon. The pianist’s international career grew rapidly after he won the Chopin Competition in Rome in 2006. The Vatican radio broadcast of his performance of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor was heard around the world. After a series of notable debuts on such prestigious stages as Carnegie Hall in New York, Victoria Hall in Geneva, the Grand Hall of the Berlin Philharmonic and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, Alexander Yakovlev has inspired an ever-growing public demand for his artistry.

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.

Geister Duo / Piano Recital

Wed, Apr 30, 2025, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
David Salmon (Piano), Manuel Vieillard (Piano)
The turning point from the 19th to the 20th century is one of the most exciting moments in the history of music – especially in France, where late-Romantic offshoots combined with the new sounds of impressionism and expressionism into a scintillating mix. At the end of the »Pianomania« series, where in this season everything revolves around the theme of »Transcriptions«, Geister Duo, consisting of the two pianists David Salmon and Manuel Vieillard, takes us along on a journey into precisely this period and demonstrates that large orchestral works can also display their appeal on 176 keys. The two of them got to know each other while studying in Paris and have formed a steadfast duo ever since. In 2021, they scooped up big at the ARD International Music Competition and, besides winning First Prize, they also won five special prizes. Alongside Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, one of the most important protagonists in turn-of-the-century France was also the Russian Igor Stravinsky, whose ground-breaking ballet music – including the infamous scandalous ballet »The Rite of Spring« – premiered in Paris. Geister Duo now opens its concert in Hamburg with a four-handed version of Stravinsky’s ballet »Petrushka«, in which three puppets of a charlatan come alive at a fair in Saint Petersburg. It proceeds no less figuratively on two pianos after the interval – with Paul Dukas’ setting of Goethe’s »The Sorcerer’s Apprentice« to music. This primarily became world famous thanks to Walt Disney’s film »Fantasia« with Mickey Mouse as the clumsy sorcerer’s pupil. The programme is rounded off with a selection from Debussy’s atmospherically dense »Trois Nocturnes« and the orchestral hit »Boléro«, which Ravel arranged for two pianos.

Alexander Krichel / Piano Recital

Thu, May 16, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Alexander Krichel (Piano)
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«.
