The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Constantinos Carydis
Shostakovich / Mozart / Shostakovich
Pianist Anna Vinnitskaya was always an early starter: she took her first piano lessons aged six, she was still a teenager when she enrolled at music college, and only 26 when she was appointed to a professorship – in Hamburg! The Russian-born artist has been living in Hamburg since then, and it goes without saying that she is a welcome guest at the Elbphilharmonie.
Anna Vinnitskaya now gives evidence of her skill at keyboard on two evenings with the two piano concertos by Dmitri Shostakovich. Tonight’s programme features the Russian composer’s First Piano Concerto, in which Ms Vinnitskaya is accompanied by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen. The score makes more than a few sly winks in the direction of Beethoven, Liszt and Haydn, and there is a racy trumpet part!
On the rostrum in the Grand Hall is the internationally sought-after Greek conductor Constantinos Carydis, who also wields the baton over music by Mozart. The concert comes to a close with Mozart’s »Jupiter« Symphony, which is widely regarded as the closing words of his entire oeuvre.
