London Philharmonic Orchestra: Brahms by Brahms, 周一 13 11月 2023, 从 (2023/2023), 导体 Edward Gardner, Isarphilharmonie, Munich, Germany

"A whole world opens up, into which one lets oneself fall completely without much thought." Pianist Hélène Grimaud What Hélène Grimaud says about Brahms’ First Piano Concerto ideally applies to encounters with art in general – also to many a concert evening. All the more so when it is performed by artists who know how to combine reflection and passion in such an impressive way, as Grimaud has done in her world career, which has now spanned more than 30 years. The name of this much-decorated artist is closely associated with the world’s most renowned orchestras and conductors. However, other fields of activity are just as important to her as music: She has distinguished herself as a human rights activist and author of several novels, and her commitment to wolves threatened with extinction is particularly legendary. When Grimaud returns to Munich in autumn, she will have Brahms’ Piano Concerto in her luggage, a work that is so important to her and that fascinated her from the very first second – “profoundly fiery, romantic” as it is. Grimaud will be accompanied by one of the top British orchestras: under the direction of its chief conductor Edward Gardner, the London Philharmonic Orchestra will complement the pure Brahms evening with his First Symphony.
