Conductor

As early as the 18th century, composers were fighting for a European continent without national boundaries. Their music transfer affected not only singers and instrumentalists, but also styles, genres and trends. Italian violinists caused a sensation in London and Dresden, and in Hamburg people danced à la française. You can hear this in the second baroque concert of the season. The Croatian pianist Dejan Lazić and Dutch conductor Jan Willem de Vriend provide additional international flair.

Mozart-Matinee

Konzerthaus Berlin

Good news for all fans of Sebastian Knauer - the pianist is back at the Konzerthaus with Mozart's Concerto in D minor, premiered in 1785. Compared to earlier works in this genre, the orchestra is increasingly taking on the role of piano partner, which is of course good news for the Konzerthausorchester.

Arcangelo Corelli's Christmas concert is as much a part of the festivities as cookies and candlelight. It consists of six contrasting, short movements, of which the last movement, the "Pastorale", is particularly catchy: it is easy to imagine that the shepherds played the catchy lullaby in 12/8 time as a serenade for the sleeping Christ Child, while the Star of Bethlehem illuminated the scene.

Christmas concert

Together with his sister Maria Anna, known as Nannerl, who was also a gifted pianist, Mozart played his Concerto for Two Pianos, composed in Salzburg in 1779. It represents an important stage in his development of the piano concerto, the genre in which he was particularly successful during his years in Vienna, from 1781 onwards. The high point and conclusion of this phase is the Piano Concerto in C minor, composed in 1786. Of all Mozart's piano concertos, this one most clearly shows him to be a pioneer of Romanticism.
