Tschaikowskys 1. Klavierkonzert & 5. Sinfonie

Chopins 1. Klavierkonzert | Beethovens 4. Sinfonie

Ludwig van Beethoven, revered as a titan of Viennese Classicism, began his career as a piano virtuoso. His encroaching deafness led him to focus on composing, paving the way for Romanticism and composers like Chopin. Pianist Sophia Pacini suggests the two composers may be closer than commonly thought.

Mahlers 5. Sinfonie | Beethovens 3. Klavierkonzert

Joana Mallwitz dirigiert Mahlers berühmte 5. Sinfonie, ein monumentales Werk, in dem der Komponist an die Grenzen sinfonischen Schaffens gegangen ist: Herzklopfen ist angesagt! Zuvor wird die Echopreisträgerin Alice-Sara Ott Beethovens 3. Klavierkonzert interpretieren, das in eher düsterer Schicksalshaftigkeit anhebt, sich zum Ende hin aber nach einem lichten C-Dur wendet.

Beethovens 1. Sinfonie

Estonia, especially its capital Tallinn, is renowned for its diverse music scene. The Estonian Sinfonietta, led by Maria Seletskaja, performs Mozart's Violin Concerto KV 216 and Beethoven's 1st Symphony alongside contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's poignant "Spiegel im Spiegel." This concert promises a captivating blend of classical and modern Estonian music.

Beethovens 5. Sinfonie | Brahms' Doppelkonzert

Das wunderbare Doppelkonzert – uraufgeführt im Kölner Gürzenich 1887 unter dem Dirigat des Komponisten – war das letzte Orchesterwerk von Johannes Brahms. Das am Ende des 3. Satzes ungarisierende Thema steht der Schicksalssinfonie mit dem kraftvollen Einstieg gegenüber!

Mozarts Klavierkonzert Nr. 21 | Schuberts Große C-Dur-Sinfonie

Schubert's Great C Major Symphony, unearthed by Robert Schumann, premiered posthumously in 1839 at Leipzig's Gewandhaus, conducted by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Mozart's Piano Concerto KV 467, featuring Angela Hewitt, also celebrates C major, "our harmonic home."

Klaus Mäkelä Royal Concert­gebouw Orches­tra Mahler 1. Sinfonie

28-year-old Klaus Mäkelä will become the new chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam in 2027. The orchestra expressed unanimous excitement about the appointment.

Sinfonie & Holly­wood

Carl Maria von Weber's friendship with Munich court clarinetist Joseph Bärmann inspired three works, including Clarinet Concerto No. 2, which will be performed by Sharon Kam. Erich Wolfgang Korngold's only symphony also features the clarinet prominently. This F-sharp major symphony blends Hollywood sounds with Austrian nostalgia, reflecting Korngold's exile experience. The world premiere of a piece by Florian Kovacic, conducted by Yoel Gamzou, further explores stylistic fusion.
