Concert Stream: The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Rantala / Kuusisto

»I don’t regard classical music and jazz as separate entities. In my eyes, they both belong to a cultural category called music«. Finnish pianist Iiro Rantala makes no secret of his artistic credo. And in keeping with it, he actually studied both genres, he is a successful performer of both classical and jazz music, and he unites the two in his concerts.

In the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Rantala has found a truly flexible partner with a love of experiment. Together they have garnered regular audience acclaim with their readings of Mozart, and this concert again features one of Mozart’s piano concertos, followed by the Poulenc Sinfonietta, which dances fleet of foot between different styles. To round off the evening, Rantala does justice to his reputation as a musician without boundaries with a humorous »Best of Beethoven« medley.
