In a programme that also includes Beethoven’s sublimely concentrated and distilled examples, it’s the rebellious spirit of Bartók’s landmark 14 Bagatelles that most intrigues Piotr Anderszewski. Scabrous or shadowy, sardonic or impishly playful, they earth a visceral connection to the rhythms of Bartók’s beloved Hungarian folk music.

Barbican Centre

In Strauss's masterful  Ein Heldenleben, a young hero sets out, full of courage and lyrical exuberance. Out in the world, he meets both enemies and love before he can finally retire, fed up with days. Richard Strauss may have seen himself as the musical hero when he wrote this work – quotations from his own works keep popping up, especially when the hero is portrayed as a peacemaker and benefactor.
