Date & Time

Sun, Dec 10, 2023, 17:00

Venue

Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)

This concert promises emotional states of matter along with several »souls«: because in the technical sector, the term »soul« means the precious core of cables – and there are several of them in the Jann organ's keyboard. Our guest is Cameron Carpenter, a musical magician who will literally pull out all the stops to make the 5,800 pipes of our instrument sound. The American keyboard virtuoso looks at an organ as a kind of tool that expands his body and... Read full text

Alexandre Kantorow plays Bartók, Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninoff and Bach

Sun, Jun 2, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

Alexandre Kantorow (Piano)

The press has hailed Alexandre Kantorow as “the reincarnated Liszt” because of his ability to make even the most fiendishly difficult of pieces come across as though tossed off lightly. In 2019, he became the first French pianist to win the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition, and that launched a meteoric international career. For his debut in our Piano series, the inclusion of Franz Liszt’s hyper-virtuosic music seemed imperative. He’ll also perform Bartók’s Rhapsody – at times passionate, at others exuberant – as well as Rachmaninoff’s dramatic First Sonata, Brahms’s Rhapsody in B minor and his transcription of the Bach Chaconne.

Piano Alexander Lonquich plays Rihm, C. P. E. Bach, Schumann and Bruckner

Tue, Dec 17, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Chamber Music Hall (Berlin)

Alexander Lonquich (Piano)

Alexander Lonquich is famous not only for his nuanced sound, but also for his original programming. For this programme, he has chosen a wide range of colourful discoveries that convey maximum expressivity in short movements. Alongside Bruckner’s delicate Erinnerung, there are two ebullient piano sonatas by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and these are offset by alternatingly powerful and melancholic works by composer in residence Wolfgang Rihm, who died in July. Little-known Novellettes by Robert Schumann, a master of the expressive piano miniature, also punctuate the evening.

Concertgebouw Orchestra plays Bruckner and Messiaen

Thu, Jan 16, 2025, 20:15

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Concertgebouw Orchestra, Simone Young (Conductor)

Anton Bruckner was a deeply religious organist, as well as a composer whose highly personal sound was far ahead of its time. The same was true of Olivier Messiaen a century later. Simone Young forges a musical and spiritual bond between Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony and Messiaen’s exquisite symphonic meditations on the Ascension.The Sixth Symphony is shorter, lighter in tone and less monumental than Bruckner’s other symphonies. ‘Die Sechste ist die keckste’ (the Sixth is the sauciest), Bruckner himself once wrote. Perhaps most remarkable is the third movement: instead of the lively, Ländler-like folk dances that characterise his scherzos, Bruckner wrote a rather dark and eerie movement here, with a theme from his Fifth appearing in the Trio. Conductor Simone Young: ‘In his symphonies, Bruckner lived the drama and the emotions he could not find in his personal life.’

Concertgebouw Orchestra plays Rachmaninoff and Sibelius

Wed, Mar 12, 2025, 20:15

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Concertgebouw Orchestra, Santtu-Matias Rouvali (Conductor), Kirill Gerstein (Piano)

Pianist Kirill Gerstein can do it all, having already demonstrated as much with the Concertgebouw Orchestra in works by Rachmaninoff – the Piano Concerto No. 2 and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini – as well as Liszt, Richard Strauss, Shostakovich and Adès. Now he tackles the Mount Everest of piano concertos – Rachmaninoff’s Third. Rachmaninoff’s characteristic melancholy always culminates in exuberant finales. The Third Piano Concerto is an uncontested high point of his œuvre: it is not only a virtuoso work, but also a compelling dialogue between piano and orchestra. And the more you hear it, the more it reveals. This also applies to Anna Clyne’s turbulent Fractured Time, the second work on the orchestra’s repertoire by this successful and fascinating composer.And speaking of exuberant finales – the orchestra is performing Jean Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony after the interval. This well-loved symphony is sombre in character, the composer having suffered from deep depression. But during the compositional process, the sun gradually broke through, and the music culminates in a radiant and sublime ending. Sibelius’s symphonies fit Santtu-Matias Rouvali like a glove, and he has been a welcome guest with the Concertgebouw Orchestra since his first appearance in 2020. Like a passionate sculptor, the Finnish conductor moulds the orchestra in changeable shapes and colours – just what Sibelius’s epic music calls for.
