Nicolas van Poucke plays Rachmaninoff and Debussy

Date & Time
Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 20:15
Rachmaninoff's Études-tableaux, op. 33 are musical 'picture studies', vivid evocations of visual imagery. The composer deliberately left them untitled, allowing both the performer and the audience the freedom to interpret the images the music conjures. What remains unmistakable, however, is the grandeur and emotional depth of these pieces - passionate yet melancholic - making them a perfect showcase for Van Poucke's virtuosity and imaginative artistry.Debussy’s Préludes book IDebussy’s Préludes are musical impressions that relocate the audience into a world of...

Nicolas van Poucke plays Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze

Sun, Mar 30, 2025, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Recital Hall (Amsterdam)
Nicolas van Poucke (Piano)
Schumann's alter egos, Eusebius and Florestan, are well known and represent his dreamy, thoughtful side (Eusebius) and his impulsive, fiery side (Florestan). These characters are part of an imaginary group of friends, the Davidsbund, that Schumann had created in his head. In the Davidsbündlertänze these alter egos conduct a lively dialogue, in which the contrasts between them are beautifully expressed. So important were these characters to Schumann that he even attributed the composition to them; Schumann's own name does not appear anywhere on the title page of the first edition of the Davidsbündlertänze.

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.
