Vielseitigkeit und Flexibilität, ein Repertoire, das von der Renaissance bis in die Gegenwart reicht, ungewöhnliche Präsentationsformen und außergewöhnliche Projekte und natürlich Interpretationen auf höchstem musikalischen Niveau: Das Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO) ist im nationalen und internationalen Musikleben eine feste Größe. Die Liste seiner Chefdirigenten ist von illustren Namen geprägt wie Ferenc Friscay, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Chailly. Seit 2017/18 steht der britische Dirigent Robin Ticciati an der Spitze des DSO und sorgt dort für Furore.

Solist dieses Konzerts ist der norwegische Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes. Die Presse feiert ihn als „einen Pianisten von meisterhafter Eleganz, Kraft und Einsicht“, als „einen der begabtesten Musiker seiner Generation“. Mit souveräner Technik und spannenden Interpretationen überzeugt er nicht nur auf dem Konzertpodium, er hat sich damit auch zahlreiche internationale Preise erspielt.

Mozart: Piano Concerto in E-flat Major, K. 482

Programme also includes
Mozart: La clemenza di Tito . Overture, K. 621
Beethoven: Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major (“Eroica”), Op. 55

The different faces of Viennese Classicism at one concert: a late opera overture by Mozart, one of his mature piano concertos, and a hugely influential symphony by Beethoven that pries open formal conventions. A major Berlin symphony orchestra with an exciting history, one of the greatest Northern European piano stars of our era and a British conductor who despite – at age 38 – his relative youth has been racking up triumph after triumph for many years and has already appeared before the Hungarian audience more than once as a guest of the Budapest Festival Orchestra. This time, Robin Ticciati will be visiting us at the helm of his own orchestra, as he has served as the chief conductor of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin since 2017.

Sa technique époustouflante et son imagination musicale font du Norvégien Leif Ove Andsnes l’un des pianistes les plus acclamés au monde.

Friand du répertoire romantique, il s’attaque au Concerto pour piano de Schumann, marqué par une écriture impétueuse.

Robert Schumann Piano Concerto in a minor

Programme also includes
Sergey Prokofiev Symphony No. 5

Norwegian Leif Ove Andsnes is one of the world’s most prominent and in-demand concert pianists. He debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra with Grieg’s Piano Concerto. Since then, he has appeared on Konserthuset’s large stage on several occasions, most recently in 2014 in a solo recital dedicated entirely to Beethoven. Now we hear him perform Robert Schumann’s beloved Piano Concerto, which is in fact reminiscent of Grieg’s equally popular concerto in several ways. Both concertos begin similarly, with a characteristic powerful orchestral chord followed by falling chords on the piano.

Prokofiev said his fifth symphony is a tribute to the “generosity, strength and spiritual purity of the free and happy individual. I did not deliberately choose the theme; rather, it came to me, then matured, and had to be expressed”. He surely felt at that time like a chosen and privileged person. Since 1941, he had been living with Mira Mendelson, who would be his second wife. He was one of the country’s most esteemed and frequently played composers. In addition, the war would soon be won.

The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Franz Welser-Möst, who received the Eric Ericson Honorary Chair in 2018. He conducts the orchestra for two weeks each season.

Benjamin Britten : Piano Concerto (1938)

Ralph Vaughan Williams : Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (1910)
Edward Elgar : Enigma Variations (1899-99)

On this all-British evening, Leif Ove Andsnes, our internationally
acclaimed piano star, performs Benjamin Britten’s virtuoso, melodic and easily accessible piano concerto, which was a great success when the 25-year-old composer premiered it in 1938. Tabita Berglund and KSO’s strings begin with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ beautiful and calm imagination on a theme by the Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis. After a break, we can enjoy Edward Elgar’s magnificent and multifaceted works of variation, built on his own theme and where a number of friends and colleagues are portrayed.
