Julia Lezhneva | Alexander Melnikov

ISABELLE FAUST & ALEXANDER MELNIKOV

Following an acclaimed performance of Baroque repertoire last season, Isabelle Faust returns with a program that reveals a completely different side of her musical personality. Together with pianist Alexander Melnikov, a close collaborator since the beginning of her international career, she explores three large-scale Romantic sonatas by Johannes Brahms and Robert Schumann in a fascinating juxtaposition with exquisite miniatures by Webern and Kurtág.

Isabelle Faust. Alexander Melnikov Schumann existenziell

Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov perform Schumann's deeply personal Violin Sonatas op. 105 and 121, composed during a period of strife and crisis. The program also features Brahms' Sonata op. 120 and works by Webern and Kurtág, offering a stark contrast. The concert will be recorded and broadcast, followed by an artist talk.

Biennale of the Berliner Philharmoniker Piano recital with Alexander Melnikov

Was the world a better place in the Romantic era? Alexander Melnikov explores this question through his piano recital – following the theme of our Biennale entitled Paradise lost? On the threat to nature. With Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy, Melnikov leads you through idyllic landscapes and man-made chasms, reveals the poetry of Schumann’s Waldszenen, and shows atmospheric images of nature in Franz Liszt’s piano works. The forest appears here as a place of retreat – from the self and from encroaching industrialisation. By contrast, Alexander Scriabin prophesies the destruction of the world in the grand conflagration of Vers la flamme.
