Venue

It would be hard to imagine a more contrasting pair: On the one hand, Víkingur Ólafsson – a rather introverted artist, reserved in demeanour, richly nuanced in his playing. On the other, Yuja Wang, whose demeanour is almost as spectacular as her sensational pianistic skills. What they both have in common: They are unimpressed by the opinions of others.

Víkingur Ólafsson / Piano Recital

Mon, Jun 24, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Víkingur Ólafsson (Piano)

They are the pinnacle of the art of piano playing – walking around them, climbing them and absorbing them in all their facets can accompany a pianist’s life from beginning to end. At once massive and incredibly varied, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations stand out as the lone peak in the world of variation works. Icelandic keyboard wizard Víkingur Ólafsson has dedicated his 2023/24 season entirely to the famous aria with its 30 variations. The audience was able to experience the brilliant start to the tour in the Laeiszhalle back in October – he is now coming to the Elbphilharmonie for the grand finale of his journey around the world with the Goldberg Variations.

Piano recital by Yuja Wang

Wed, Jun 19, 2024, 20:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Yuja Wang (Piano)

Yuja Wang is known for the dazzling fireworks of her pianism. At the same time, she has a formidable expressive range, and can render intimate moments as persuasively as she does passages of fervent emotion. In this recital, Yuja Wang offers listeners a selection of virtuosic piano works – with Samuel Barber’s lushly complex piano sonata, the diverse moods of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Preludes, and ballads by Frédéric Chopin, whose emotional spectrum ranges from contemplative intimacy to explosive drama.
