Chopin and Bach / Hayato Sumino’s piano recital

Venue

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)

Bach and Chopin. Two worlds, two geniuses, two points of reference for the tradition of the keyboard. The former is the essence of spirituality, the musical structure and the richness of the baroque world. The latter symbolises musical romanticism. Chopin scholars emphasise the fact that he renewed Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and finesse of ornament, using them as foundations upon which he built a musical world of his own, still much beloved everywhere around the world. Their music serves as... Read full text

Piano Recital

Sun, Dec 1, 2024, 19:00

Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)

Grigory Sokolov (Piano)

Grigory Sokolov, photo: Mary Slepkova / DG Grigory Sokolov has worked hard to secure privileges that few contemporary musicians can boast. He gives practically no interviews, rarely visits the recording studio, has performed solo for a number of years and compiles his own recital programmes, without particularly hurrying to announce them. He first sat at a piano at the age of five, almost 70 years ago. Ever since he has been reluctant to part with his beloved instrument, especially during his lengthy performances, giving endless encores (at times as long as a separate recital). Paradoxically, he is a rare example of an artist who communicates with the outside world almost exclusively through his performances, which force reviewers into extraordinary, at times quite humorous, verbal gymnastics in search of the right concepts to describe the artistry of his playing and the aura he creates around him. A voluminous anthology of surprising metaphors might be compiled from the texts on Sokolov’s playing, which may suggest that it is impossible to capture the personality of this remarkable pianist, let alone his interpretations, in words.

Beautiful like a storm / Lukas Sternath’s piano recital

Sat, Oct 26, 2024, 18:00

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Lukas Sternath (Piano)

Robert Schumann composed his last piano piece communicating with his fears. He claimed that ghosts were playing music that was both most beautiful and repulsing especially for him, revealing their secrets and threatening him with hell. As the artist left us used to his music being interpreted through the lens of his private life, excessive interpretations and negations of this unusual and beautiful cycle of variations’ worth are not uncommon. It is just as “mad” as Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B minor is “sane”, the latter being a striking drama of symphonic breadth, enclosed within a single-movement form, destructive and beautiful like a storm. How will this background work together with a new piece by Patricia Kopatchinskaya, composer known for playing with classics, finding hidden meanings and enlivening concert programmes? Let us learn.

Virtuosity and charm / ECHO Rising Stars Recital (cancelled)

Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Carlos Ferreira (Clarinet), Pedro Emanuel Pereira (Piano)

The concert has been cancelled. Refunds for tickets purchased online will be made automatically. Tickets purchased at NOSPR box offices can be refunded by visiting NOSPR box offices.While Charles-Marie Widor remains best known among organ music aficionados, clarinetists owe to him the Introduction et Rondo – a piece, in which they can show both virtuosity and a lyrical charm. Debussy’s Première rhapsodie, in turn, is a product made to a commission from the Paris Conservatoire: a school piece which exceeded expectations to such a degree that the composer was later happy to arrange in for the clarinet and orchestra. While doing so, he retained the characteristic fogged-up sound, thanks to which the solo instrument cannot be mistaken f other. The young virtuoso Carlos Ferreira finds satisfaction both in his work with the prestigious Orchestre National de France and in chamber music – in a duo with the pianist and composer Pedro Emanuel Pereira, who wrote the suite Duas Igrejas, ringing with the nostalgia of the Portuguese fado, especially for him. On their joint album, we can also find the neoclassical Sonatina by Joseph Horovitz. What else are they going to surprise us with? This we will learn from the concert...

Paul Lewis / Schubert’s Sonatas / Piano masterpieces

Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)

Paul Lewis (Piano)

Franz Schubert held the torch at Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral. It was a symbolic moment – the younger composer was taking over the Promethean flame from a genius. Despite the pathos, it is an accurate association when comparing their symphonies or quartets. However, Schubert did not take over the flame for long – he died less than two years later. In the last months of his life, he created a series of masterpieces, among them three piano sonatas. After their publication, they were heavily criticised for departing from Beethovenian patterns. However, inspiration does not mean imitation after all! Schubert's style is gentle and less definite. Every play is lined with melancholy; contemplation borders on the sublime and ecstasy. Very few people can portray the entire universe of these three sisters' works as aptly as Paul Lewis. It has to be experienced. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 140 minutes

Piano recital with Marie-Ange Nguci

Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 15:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Marie-Ange Nguci (Piano)

The French-Albanian pianist Marie-Ange Nguci has positioned herself as one of the most exciting young soloists on the world's major stages. The term 'unique' is worn out, but it's difficult to find better words to describe her. Nguci was admitted to the conservatory in Paris at the age of 13 and graduated three years later with top marks. Since then, she has studied both pedagogy and musical analysis in Paris, as well as conducting at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.In recent years, she has made her debut on virtually all of the world's major stages: Musikverein in Vienna, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Tonhalle in Zurich, the Sydney Opera House, Philharmonie de Paris. The list could go on. With the concert together with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 (Thursday, November 21) and this recital, she makes her long-awaited debut at Konserthuset Stockholm.We hear her in musically exciting and technically demanding pieces such as Scriabin's fifth piano sonata, which alternates between floating impressionism and explosive chords, Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit with its cascading soundscapes, and Prokofiev's intense sixth piano sonata.Schumann's Kreisleriana, subtitled Fantasies for Pianoforte, oscillates between feverish nervousness and darkly veiled contemplations. He wrote them for his beloved wife Clara but nevertheless dedicated them to Frédéric Chopin, whom he considered to be a genius.

Tim Burton's favourite composer / Metropolis Piano Quartet

Thu, Feb 20, 2025, 19:30

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Metropolis Piano Quartet:, Sulamita Ślubowska (Violin), Dawid Jadamus (Viola), Łukasz Frant (Cello), Joanna Galon-Frant (Piano)

It promises to be a remarkable expedition in directions not obvious for chamber music. Spanish music enjoyed a heyday of national style at the turn of the 20th century. We are familiar in Poland with works by de Falla, Albéniz or Granados from this repertoire. Turina, on the other hand, is mainly associated with guitar music lovers. In the mellifluous Piano Quartet op. 67, he combines catchy Spanish themes with classical form, characteristic simplicity and serenity. The music of the eminent Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks is characterised by a meditative tone famous in this part of Europe. His Piano Quartet will unite lovers of classical harmonies with those seeking more contemporary forms of expression. Danny Elfman's quartet, meanwhile, will add to this concert the eclectic spirit of Hollywood, where the composer, acclaimed for his soundtracks for films by Tim Burton (Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland), Gus Van Sant (Milk) or the Simpsons series, is well known.

Sings and whispers. Matilda Lloyd's trumpet

Sun, Oct 27, 2024, 18:00

Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Chamber Hall (Katowice)

Matilda Lloyd (Trumpet), Jonathan Ware (Piano)

Over the last two centuries, wind instruments were pushed into the background of classical music by strings, which were considered “nobler”. The trumpet is troubled by the stereotype of a “signal” instrument, even though, after all, it would still sing so beautifully in the baroque era. Maybe it is this tradition that the British composer Dani Howard will reference; certainly, we are going to hear the trumpet singing in the lyrical and elevated Legende by George Enescu. Matilda Lloyd has actually sang an entire album with arrangements of operatic arias – it is a must-listen! One of the pieces to be found there is the Song of the rain by Chopin’s friend, the singer and composer Pauline Viardot, taken from her opera The Last Sorcerer. In her Katowice concert, the trumpeter will return to Paris, reaching for arrangements of the well-known works of Debussy and Ravel, as well as for the proud Intrada by Arthur Honegger, in which the trumpet presents itself to us without even the slightest complexes. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration: approximately 70 minutes
