Description
A single, breathing note opens the evening: Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vocalise unfolds without words. The adagio hovers between melancholy and warmth, between inner contemplation and expansive orchestral colour – music as pure emotion, beyond language. With his Fourth Piano Concerto, Ludwig van Beethoven leads us into a new dimension of dialogue. It is not the orchestra but the piano that begins – quietly, tentatively, poetically. From this intimate moment develops a work of extraordinary balance: lyrical expansiveness in the first movement, existential conflict in the Andante, dance-like liberation in the final Rondo. The soloist for the evening is Seth Schultheis, winner of the Beethoven Telekom Competition, who shapes this concerto as a dramatic dialogue between the individual and the collective.
After the interval, the curtain opens to reveal a world of colours, scents and adventures: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade is orchestral storytelling at its finest. Inspired by »One Thousand and One Nights«, a rush of sound unfolds with shimmering string lines, exotic rhythms and virtuoso solos. The sea roars, ships are wrecked, celebrations explode in brilliant splendour – and above it all rises the voice of Scheherazade, who saves lives with her storytelling.
