Virtuosität hoch zwei

Manchmal schreibt das Leben kuriose Geschichten: Seong-Jin Cho etwa kann erzählen, dass er einmal bei einem Wettbewerb sowohl mit Geige als auch Klavier teilgenommen hat. Als Geiger gewann er einen dritten Preis – als Pianist ging er leer aus. Zum Glück hat er sich trotzdem für das Klavier entschieden. Was wäre der Musikwelt sonst entgangen! Auch dieses gemeinsame Rezital zweier Weltstars hätte so wohl nie stattgefunden: Erstmals in ihren großartigen Karrieren begegnen sich Augustin Hadelich und Seong-Jin Cho auf dem Kammermusikpodium.

Was diese Begegnung so besonders macht? Es treffen sich Seelenverwandte. Beide haben sich ihren Weg an die Weltspitze ohne jede Attitüde und mit einer Bescheidenheit erspielt, die man heute selten findet. Äußerer Effekt hat in ihrem Spiel keinen Platz. Dafür aber eine Intensität, die ihresgleichen sucht. Das Publikum darf sich freuen auf dieses Gipfeltreffen zweier künstlerischer Feingeister und tieflotender Klangpoeten.

Coughing, clapping, chatting – Tips for your concert visit

A concert at the Elbphilharmonie is a unique experience for both audience and artists. Guests and musicians alike rave about the precise acoustics in the Grand Hall. You can hear every note, even from the highest balcony.

Unfortunately, the opposite is also true: even presumably quiet noises from the audience are clearly audible in the entire hall. We therefore ask our visitors to take the following recommendations into consideration: Tips for your concert visit
