Pianist

Elegance, lightness and tonal refinement – this programme captures the unmistakable spirit of French music. Works by Camille Saint-Saëns, Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy and Ernest Chausson can be heard between subtle melody and dance-like drive – finely orchestrated, full of esprit and sensuality. From the delicate combination of harp and violin to Chausson’s large-scale concerto for violin, piano and string quartet, an evening of French charm and tonal finesse unfolds.

Their paths converged in Vienna – those of the composers Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden, Johannes Brahms, and Hermann Grädener. Mrs. Kralik von Meyrswalden, the daughter of a Bohemian glass industrialist, had come to the music capital from Linz. The two somewhat older gentlemen came from Northern Germany: Brahms, as is well known, from Hamburg, and Grädener from Kiel. Grädener's father, Carl Georg, born in Rostock, maintained close contact with the greats of the music world. Even Clara Schumann stopped by the Grädeners on her travels. Hermann Grädener, in turn, became a friend of Johannes Brahms in Vienna. His piano concerto, written in the 1880s, is among the discoveries that pianist Oliver Triendl has been pursuing for years.
