Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra / Mao Fujita / Sebastian Weigle

Fri, Oct 18, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra, Mao Fujita (Piano), Sebastian Weigle (Conductor)

»Mao Fujita is a miracle of articulation,« says NDR Kultur. And it’s true: although the 25-year-old Japanese pianist is anything but a virtuoso, he has taken the piano world by storm over the last five years. Competition win after competition win, appearances at renowned festivals were not long in coming and with Fujita’s recording of Mozart’s complete piano sonatas, he has definitively positioned himself as a subtle interpreter of demanding scores. »We pianists have to look at the details. The technical aspects and all the virtuosity in the music play a subordinate role,« says Mao Fujita, revealing his secret as to why even the most virtuoso works sound transparent and elegant to him. Tchaikovsky’s passionate piano concerto can be experienced in a completely new way!

Mao Fujita / Piano Recital

Mon, May 6, 2024, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Mao Fujita (Piano)

At the age of just 24, Mao Fujita is already at home on the world’s top concert platforms and at the side of major orchestras such as the Munich Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra. In his hometown, he studied at the Tokyo College of Music, and he is currently refining his playing as a student of Kirill Gerstein’s in Berlin. He has also received a lot of praise for his recording of the complete Mozart sonatas: »You can hear how much pleasure he takes in the many, often witty little details,« commented the NDR reviewer. It’s with Mozart that Fujita opens his first solo recital at the Elbphilharmonie. The varied foray into the worlds of Classical and Romantic music continues with a Chopin Barcarolle, with the »Kreisleriana« that Schumann dedicated to Chopin, and then Prokofiev’s impressive F-minor Sonata. In addition, an interesting rarity in the shape of the dreamy and playful »Les fêtes« by French impressionist Déodat de Séverac is on the programme.
