Glücksgefühl by Beethoven, Dvořák, Pejačević, Dj. 26 Set. 2024, De (2024/2024), Director musical Ivan Repušić, hr-Sendesaal, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

A Beethoven as you hardly know him: the Triple Concerto is an artful piece full of charm and esprit, it is irritatingly discreet, gallant and delicate. And it needs three soloists who take care of each other – because only in balance can the full feeling of happiness be achieved. So it makes sense to invite the Sitkovetsky Trio for this solo Beethoven. Founded in 2007 by violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky, the piano trio impresses with its refined ensemble playing, its outstanding playing culture – and its experience with Beethoven's world of sound. The three musicians are currently recording all of Beethoven's trio works for CD. In addition to Beethoven, the program now includes Dvořák's Symphony No. 8, the work with which the Bohemian broke away from his role model Brahms and which – not unlike the Triple Concerto – carries an unusual weightlessness and poetry. The conductor is the Croatian Ivan Repušić, who is currently at home with the Munich Radio Orchestra, but who is also in the starting blocks as chief conductor of the Staatskapelle Weimar and general music director of the Leipzig Opera.
