Der Künstlername angelehnt an eine Martial-Arts-Ikone, Kartfahren als Hobby: Bruce Liu steckt voller Überraschungen. Genauso wie sein unerhört farbenreiches Klavierspiel, mit dem er sich in die erste Liga der Klassikwelt katapultiert hat.Geboren wurde Bruce Liu in Paris, aufgewachsen ist er in Kanada, doch geprägt haben ihn nicht zuletzt seine asiatischen Wurzeln. »Ich merke, dass mir die Geschichte Chinas – Konfuzianismus, Taoismus – im Blut liegt. Aber durch meine Profession bin ich auch der europäischen Kultur eng verbunden.« Sein Anschlag hat... Read full text

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra / María Dueñas / Kazuki Yamada

Thu, Mar 7, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, María Dueñas (Violin), Kazuki Yamada (Conductor)
Wherever violinist María Dueñas (born in Granada in 2002) appears, audience and critics alike are full of enthusiasm. She is rightly perceived as an exceptional talent: the musician with mixed Austrian and Spanish roots impresses not only with an astonishing artistic maturity and a beautiful tone, but also with the cadenzas that she composes herself. After she won first prize at the 2021 Yehudi Menuhin Competition, Deutsche Grammophon immediately gave her an exclusive recording contract. She has devoted her first album to Beethoven’s Violin Concerto – the work she is playing in this concert. She is accompanied by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with its newly-appointed chief conductor Kazuki Yamada, who follows in the footsteps of several great predecessors: Sir Simon Rattle, Andris Nelsons and Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.

National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine / Raphaela Gromes / Volodymyr Sirenko

Tue, Nov 19, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, Raphaela Gromes (Cello), Volodymyr Sirenko (Conductor)
The celebrated young cellist Raphaela Gromes and the National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine had planned their joint concerts, which kicked off in Kyiv, in the hope that peace would come soon. Now the war is still raging, making the concerts, which feature two of Antonín Dvořák’s most beautiful works and an overture by Mozart’s Russian-Ukrainian contemporary Dimitrij Bortnjanski, all the more a mission of peace. »I was deeply impressed by the solidarity of the Ukrainians, by their incredible courage and will to fight staunchly for freedom and democracy,« said Raphaela Gromes after her performance in Kyiv in December 2023. In Dvořák’s Cello Concerto she is accompanied by the National State Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine under the baton of long-standing chief conductor Volodymyr Sirenko, who have seen themselves as cultural ambassadors of their homeland since the orchestra was founded. With its vocal melodies and dramatic climaxes, it offers the soloist plenty of scope for virtuoso dexterity and unbridled passion. The many famous melodies from the composer’s subsequent Ninth Symphony, »From the New World«, are sure to resonate long after the concert, carrying the hope for peace from the concert hall out into the world.
