No other contemporary singer's name is as synonymous with the Lied as that of Julian Prégardien. Although also impressive on the operatic stage and in oratorios with his deeply sensitive tenor, the German singer reveals himself particularly intensely in the lyrical, poetic, and romantic genre of the Lied. He repeatedly delves into this cosmos, especially with songs by Schubert, but also by other composers who are at home in this field. To ensure that an orchestra like the CAMERATA—known for its vocal sound and chamber music sensitivity—can also perform in the area of ​​Lieder normally reserved for piano accompaniment, orchestral arrangements of two Lied compositions by Beethoven and Schubert were selected. Even in the original, they depict epic song scenes, whose dimensions are all the more enhanced with orchestral support. To the songs with words, the CAMERATA adds the endless song without words from Schubert's Symphony in B minor.

Isabelle Faust, one of the most impressive violinists of our time, sums it up: "It's always about conveying the magic of music in the moment." The current "Artist in Residence" of the WDR Symphony Orchestra presents Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Violin Concerto in this concert. The work has everything that makes the hearts of music fans beat faster: warming lyricism, breathtaking virtuosity, and intoxicating sonic splendor. Robert Schumann was a close friend of Mendelssohn. Isabelle Faust also interprets his exciting violin fantasy, before Schubert's mysterious "Unfinished" concludes the concert, conducted by the British conductor Andrew Manze.

There is pathos and passion from the first bar of Brahms's first piano concerto. A powerful timpani roll sets off a great symphonic drama, and during the concert both soloist and orchestra face great trials. But at the same time they share the same desire to perform the dazzlingly beautiful music.

The renowned Fauré Quartet expands its sound palette with the Finnish double bass player Janne Saksala, soloist and principal double bass of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2008. Together they will present a programme that brings together the highlights of Romantic chamber music. The focus is on Franz Schubert’s immortal »Forellenquintett«, whose effervescent liveliness and catchy melodies take on a new depth in the interpretation of this exceptional ensemble. This masterpiece is complemented by Schubert’s rarely performed »Adagio« and »Rondo Concertant« as well as Robert Schumann’s passionate piano quartet, a masterpiece of the genre that reflects the entire emotional world of Romanticism.

Cleverly conceived and unusual programs are Víkingur Ólafsson's trademark.

Beethoven's piano concertos and symphonies belong to the core of orchestral repertoire but it's some time since we've heard his 2nd piano concerto, in which echoes of Mozart can be heard. Schubert composed his first six symphonies before his 20th birthday, although during his lifetime they were only performed in private circles. His 2nd symphony was probably performed for the first time in 1877. While Brahms found them interesting Dvořák was very taken with their melodies, harmonic progressions and the exquisite detail in Schubert's orchestration.

Marianna Shirinyan is the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra's Artist in Residence – and we're celebrating that with an entire concert featuring only piano. Because the piano can do it all: “The piano is a percussion instrument, it's a string instrument – ​​and it's a singing instrument; the piano can sing,” says Marianna Shirinyan. “As pianists, we are incredibly rich. A lifetime is not enough to play the music that has been written for our instrument.”

A cherished presence on Washington Performing Arts stages, Midori returns with pianist Ieva Jokubaviciute for a program that traverses lyricism, passion, and brilliance. Anchored by Beethoven’s radiant “Spring” Sonata, the recital interweaves romantic nuance in the works of Clara and Robert Schumann, Poulenc’s bold contrasts, and the virtuosic sweep of Schubert’s Rondo Brillante—all brought to life with Midori’s musical insight and expressive power. A new work written for Midori by New York-based violinist and composer Che Buford combines violin and electronics. Buford describes their compositions as exploring the possibilities of timbre and acoustical phenomena and connecting them to elements of place, memory, poetry, and the quotidian.

Hailed as “entrancing” (BBC Music Magazine) and "artists in the deepest sense of the word" (CutCommon), Merz Trio, winners of the Naumburg, Concert Artists Guild, Fischoff and Chesapeake Competitions, and recipients of a Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant, have been lauded for their “stunning virtuosity... fresh and surprising interpretations” (Reading Eagle), and “perfection of intonation and ensemble” (Hudson Review). Merz Trio are passionately committed to reshaping the narrative of classical music through vibrantly dynamic programming and wide-ranging interdisciplinary collaboration. Their narrative programming style juxtaposes classical standards, new music, and their own arrangements of familiar and forgotten works, fluidly interwoven and guided with speaking from the Trio’s members. Their interdisciplinary collaborations include ongoing projects with directors Emma Jaster and Jon Levin, dancer Caroline Copeland, and Sandglass Puppet Theater.

Beethoven's piano sonatas are profound explorations of the great themes of music, life, and human existence. They are among the greatest masterpieces in the history of music and reflect both his personal journey and the evolution of music. For his concert, Víkingur Ólafsson has chosen Sonatas No. 27 and 30. The latter is considered one of the summit works of piano literature. It combines clarity and depth, and especially the second movement, a meditative Adagio, allows space for intimate reflection, while the finale, with its varying themes, showcases Beethoven's creativity. Beethoven's great predecessor, Johann Sebastian Bach, and one of his famous successors, Franz Schubert, are also featured in the program with other works, highlighting significant events in European piano music. Invited by the Dresden Philharmonic in cooperation with DK Deutsche Klassik.

From Schubert in the early 19th century to Sibelius 100 years later, the Romantic composers were fascinated by the strange and the exotic, by the unfamiliar and the otherworldly. Mendelssohn travelled to the remote Atlantic islands of Scotland where he was inspired to write his Hebrides overture, mimicking the sound of the sea and the wailing of ancient bagpipes. In his violin concerto, Sibelius caught the incantations of Finnish folk music and the wailing of wind in the northern forests. And Schubert’s last and greatest symphony was considered so long and so strange by his contemporaries, it lay unperformed for years. Now it is one of the central works of Western classical music. As Robert Schumann wrote, after its first performance: “This symphony opens an entirely new world to us, producing such an effect on us as none has produced since Beethoven”.

Beethoven’s only full-length ballet, The Creatures of Prometheus, is set to a story on a theme close to its composer’s heart — the civilising power of art. The titular creatures whom Prometheus brings to life represent humanity itself, and Beethoven responded to the story of their enlightenment with engaging, sunny music.

An exuberant joie de vivre characterizes Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Symphony No. 4, which he began composing in Rome and Naples. Franz Schubert's budget never allowed a trip to Italy—but at least Italian opera was performed in Vienna. He supposedly bet his friends that he could compose overtures as lively as Rossini's, and subsequently created the overture "in the Italian style." Busoni's brilliant comedy overture also follows in the tradition of Rossini, but uses a late-Romantic orchestra, while Richard Strauss wrote his melancholic, serene oboe concerto for a deliberately small ensemble.

At just 18 years old, Russian pianist Alexandra Dovgan has a career that has already taken her all over Europe and as far away as Buenos Aires and Detroit. A protégé of Grigory Sokolov, who predicted "a great future" for her , she stands out with a sound of incredible beauty and precision, served by an authentic personality. After the darkest and most passionate of Schubert's last three sonatas, she takes on Franck's Prelude, Chorale and Fugue , a combined homage to Bach and Liszt, then to the young Prokofiev - just 21 years old - who wrote a 2nd Sonata already tending towards modernism.

Clara Schumann was a formidable character – a phenomenally gifted pianist, brilliant composer, editor of her husband Robert Schumann’s compositions and key supporter of Brahms, her contribution to the world of music is vast. The first half of this concert celebrates Clara herself, first in Gabriela Ortiz’s Clara, a musical telling of the story of her relationship with Robert, and then in her own Piano Concerto, a dancing, dazzling tour-de-force. The second half of the programme features two composers important to Clara, both writing with a distinctly sun-kissed, Italian flavour.

The acclaimed Verona Quartet, among the most distinguished ensembles on the chamber music scene today, makes its return appearance in our series with a program inspired by songs. The Schubert and Mendelssohn string quartets take their inspiration from their own songs “Death and the Maiden” and “Ist es wahr?”. George Walker wrote his “Lyric” for string quartet after his graduation from Oberlin Conservatory (where the Verona Quartet are in residence) based on the lyrical sound of the human voice and spirit. Canadian singer and songwriter Tanya Tagaq uses an ingenious imagination of imparting traditional Inuk throat singing onto the sound of western string instruments.

Matthias Goerne is one of the world’s most versatile and sought-after vocalists, known for his powerful performances and recordings of Schubert. He has appeared on the world’s principal opera stages, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York; the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; and the Vienna State Opera. Grammy Award-winning pianist Daniil Trifonov has made a spectacular ascent of the classical music world, as a solo artist, champion of the concerto repertoire, and chamber and vocal collaborator. A rare chance to hear Trifonov perform solo and in collaboration with Goerne for the beauty and pathos, drama and despair of the Schwanengesang, or Swan Songs, composed in Schubert’s last year.

Beethoven, Brahms, Bach – these have been Igor Levit's most important companions in recent years. The fact that his new program includes sonatas by Franz Schubert and Frédéric Chopin alongside Robert Schumann's Nocturnes is a cause for concern. "There are composers I prefer to listen to rather than play," Levit declared for many years when it came to Chopin. Of course, as probably every trained pianist does, he studied his etudes and sonatas during his studies, but this exploration only rarely found its way into the public eye. Until now! The third sonata, which Chopin himself called a "concerto without an orchestra," forms the significant climax of his piano recital at the Elbphilharmonie.

For her seventh solo recital with PCMS, British pianist Imogen Cooper returns to Perelman Theater for an evening of works that showcases her stunning virtuosity, graceful lyricism, and poetic interpretations.

For Schubert, writing a song was not just putting the words to music, but rather translating the poetry into music. And never more so than in his most well-known cycle of 24 songs, Winterreise (Winter’s Journey), set upon poems by Wilhelm Müller. Baritone Matthias Goerne (“today’s leading interpreter of German art songs” (Chicago Tribune) and pianist Daniil Trifonov (“one of the most awesome pianists of our time” (New York Times) interpret Schubert’s gripping, heart-wrenching songs at this not-to-be-missed recital. The austere beauty and power of Winterreise is sure to resonate in your heart and soul.

Like few other orchestras, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra represents the unique unifying power of music. With members from 25 nations, organized as a democratic collective in which every voice counts, it is only too happy to collaborate with soloists for whom cosmopolitanism and freedom of expression are equally important. A dedicated musician like Igor Levit is therefore the ideal partner for the MCO! When a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, for whom freedom of artistic expression was always his highest priority, is also on the program, it is clear that making music together takes on a political dimension. And Franz Schubert's "Great" Symphony in C major also fits perfectly into this cleverly conceived program: After all, his large-scale orchestral work was modeled on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony – the ultimate work of freedom!

From its atmospheric beginning, Le Silence des Sirènes evokes vivid imagery of ill-fated ships on top of great, swelling waves: the score is alive with crashing percussion and warning brass interjections, the enigmatic sirens’ song provided by Faustine de Monès. Unsuk Chin drew upon several classical sources for the work, including Homer, Joyce and – most notably – Kafka, whose short story gave the work its name. Britten’s Four Sea Interludes opens the programme: orchestral ‘scene changes’ from his opera Peter Grimes conveying the changing mood of the storytelling, but always with an atmospheric undercurrent of foreboding. Schubert’s majestic Symphony No.9 will round off the evening, with conductor Elena Schwarz showing us exactly why it’s known as ‘The Great’.

"A work like something from another world" – this is how critic Joachim Kaiser describes Franz Schubert's String Quintet in C major. Indeed, what the composer created just a few weeks before his untimely death in 1828 transcends the boundaries of classical chamber music, and not just because of its extraordinary playing time of around fifty minutes. Instead of the second viola, which was common at the time, Schubert uses a second cello – a trick that lends the work a tonal depth and emotional dimension that is unparalleled.
