Omer Meir Wellber mit Prokofjew by Prokofiev, Milch-Sheriff, Beethoven, Du (2023/2023), Chef d'orchestre Omer Meir Wellber, Tonhalle Zürich, Zurich, Suisse

"Anyone who is looking for objectivity does not have to come to my concerts," explains conductor Omer Meir Wellber in no uncertain terms. The following applies to the young Israeli: 100% expression, 100% authenticity, 100% inspiration – in every concert. That suits Sergei Prokofiev, he too wanted to know as a young man. "Kühn" is just the first name for his Third Piano Concerto, Op. 26, which was composed in American exile. But Prokofiev's biography is also bold: the composer returned to Stalinist Russia in 1936. There he also made a career as a film music composer. For example with his cantata «Alexander Newski». It was initially created as the soundtrack to the film of the same name by Sergej Eisenstein and then had a meteoric rise – out of the cinema and into the concert halls.
