Meet the acclaimed French conductor Marie Jacquot who leads the Gothenburg Symphony in Ravel’s richly ornamented and elegant Valses nobles et sentimentales. Swedish Peter Jablonski is the soloist in Polish Grażyna Bacewicz’s late-romantic, virtuosic and dreamily imaginative piano concerto. 

Grażyna Bacewicz was both celebrated and uniquely successful as a female composer during her lifetime. She graduated in composition at the Warsaw Conservatory and combined her composing with life as a touring piano soloist until the mid-1950s. After that, she devoted herself exclusively to composing. She wrote the concerto for piano and orchestra from 1949 for the 100th anniversary of the death of compatriot Frédéric Chopin. 

The evening ends in the same romantic spirit with César Franck’s only full-scale symphony, the Symphony in D minor, which premiered at the end of the vibrant 1880s. 

Peter Jablonski made a big breakthrough in his 20s and has been an internationally acclaimed artist for many years. He is one of the leading pianists of his generation and has performed with over 150 major orchestras and conductors over the past 30 years. To our delight, he is now making a long-awaited return visit to the Gothenburg Symphony.

10 August 2023 Passion för piano

Stora pianister har den där fantastiska förmågan att kunna omvandla sina musikaliska visioner till anslag, fraser, avrundningar, pauser, extatiska utbrott och vemodiga suckar.
