We are pleased to welcome the successful conductor Cristian Măcelaru back to Gothenburg. He will lead the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in Brahms’ beloved Third Symphony and Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto. Soloist is Austrian star pianist Rudolf Buchbinder.

Earlier announced conductor Herbert Blomstedt and pianist Maria Joao Pires have been forced to cancel for health reasons. Purchased ticket applies.

Pianist Rudolf Buchbinder is one of the most legendary soloists of our time and has been praised for his interpretations of Beethoven. He has devoted his nearly 60-year career to interpreting the classical repertoire and recorded all of Mozart’s major piano works as well as all of Beethoven’s sonatas and piano concertos.

The 43-year-old conductor Cristian Măcelaru is music director of the French National Orchestra (Orchester National de France) since 2020. He has been a guest of Swedish orchestras on several occasions and is Artistic Director of the Enescu Festival in Bucharest, where the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra was a guest in 2023.

Now they are both united this December evening in two of the great masterpieces of the 19th century.

Beethoven’s poetic and playful Piano Concerto No. 4 became his most personally heartfelt. Then Brahms’ third symphony, which celebrates the single life on the theme “free but happy”. At least the opening motif F – Ab – F has been interpreted so: Frei-Aber-Froh. But most famous is the lovingly soft third movement in 3/8- time.
