Event has already taken place. Triumphant concert with Santtu-Matias Rouvali conductor och Leif Ove Andsnes piano!
Hear the triumphant 5th piano concerto by Beethoven, the Emperor Concerto conducted by Santtu-Matias Rouvali. Norwegian star pianist Leif Ove Andsnes elegantly handles the piano keys, as gracefully as the puppeteer dances through Stravinsky’s ballet Petrusjka.
The piano concerto is Beethoven’s last and the most famous with its heroic themes. The composer himself could no longer play at the premiere, he had become too deaf to play with the orchestra.
The evening opens with an orchestral masterpiece by child prodigy Lili Boulanger. She was only 24 years old but managed to amaze the whole world. That spring morning in Paris she dressed in tones was completed shortly before her death in 1918.
Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka takes place in a Russian puppet theater during carnival time. In the music, we hear both folk melodies and waltzes from Vienna, but reworked and with harmonies that bite.
