Mahler 5

Thu, Oct 10, 2024, 19:00

Alte Oper (Frankfurt am Main)

Francesco Piemontesi (Piano), Alain Altinoglu (Conductor)

Zum Saison-Start der »Großen Reihe« eine ganz Große unter den Sinfonien: Mahlers »Fünfte«, in ihrem Zentrum der so eindringliche Adagietto-Satz, der die Zeit zum Stillstand bringt und die Harfe zum sphärischen Leuchten. Dazu ein Beethoven, der voranstürmt, als müsste diese Zeit wieder eingeholt werden. Mit Gustav Mahler die Spielzeit zu eröffnen, ist gleichsam ein Heimspiel – die Frankfurter Mahler-Tradition reicht lange zurück. Das hr-Sinfonieorchester steht international ein für seine preisgekrönte Mahler-Kompetenz. So wie der aus dem Tessin stammende Pianist Francesco Piemontesi berühmt ist für seine Wiener Klassiker. Bei ihm ist Beethovens geradezu kämpferisch auftrumpfendes, immer wieder aufs Neue mitreißende Es-Dur-Klavierkonzert in den besten Händen. »Piemontesi gilt zu Recht als Klangzauberer«, so die NZZ über den ohne jeden Star-Rummel auskommenden Schweizer, und legt noch hochachtungsvoll nach: »Er ist auch ein Klangtüftler.«Konzertdauer: ca. 140 Minuten – inklusive Pause
