For the plot of “Tannhäuser” (1845), Richard Wagner drew on two different German legends. Central parts of this great romantic opera can already be heard in the approximately 13-minute overture: the Venusberg music from the first act, Tannhäuser’s ode to Venus from the second and the pilgrims’ chorus from the third act. This is “Tannhäuser” atmosphere in concentrated form.

Blechacz likes to be a little shy, much more so in conversation than with his instrument: "I would rather answer your questions with music than in an interview," he once told his journalist counterpart. So let's listen to him instead. For example, when he plays Chopin. He never teases anything salon-like out of this music; with him, this music does not sound like cuddly poetry. Blechacz shows its endangered elegance, its rough edges in a very small space. Where some of his colleagues try to explain Chopin with the help of the pedal, Blechacz exercises restraint with his right foot. As a result, his Chopin often sounds pleasantly unpadded, but shimmering and, when necessary, also irascible and dry. "Chopin has become a kind of life partner for me," he admits today. "In his music, I am completely at one with myself."

"The conductor for tonight's concert had to cancel." What now? A huge mess? That would be - by any standard - a serious offense. A clear case for music commissioner Flunke!
