Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich / Víkingur Ólafsson / Paavo Järvi

Sat, Mar 15, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Víkingur Ólafsson (Piano), Paavo Järvi (Conductor)
Brahms times two is the motto this season for the exceptional Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson: after travelling around the world with Bach’s Goldberg Variations, this season he has taken on both of Johannes Brahms’ piano concertos – with different partners at his side. The opening concert with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in November will be followed in March by the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and the large-scale symphonic Second Piano Concerto. The orchestra brings Schumann’s »Rhenish« Symphony as a lively addition – a showpiece for the Swiss orchestra and its energetic chief conductor Paavo Järvi. You can hear in the cheerfully flowing sounds of this symphony the motivational boost that the move from Leipzig to Düsseldorf on the Rhine meant for the composer.
