Simon Höfele | Elisabeth Brauß | Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn | Emmanuel Tjeknavorian by Rota, Shostakovich, Jolivet, Britten, zo. 21 apr 2024, Van (2024/2024), Dirigent Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Kölner Philharmonie, Keulen, Duitsland

Three high-flyers present a program with entertaining music from the 20th century: young pianist Elisabeth Brauß performs with the young star trumpeter Simon Höfele, while Emmanuel Tjeknavorian appears as a charismatic conductor. “When the audience laughs when my works are performed, it gives me great satisfaction,” Shostakovich is said to have said. His first piano concerto, in which the piano is joined by a trumpet, is rich in strange humor. The Concertino by the Frenchman André Jolivet features the same line-up and brings together the virtuoso newcomers Simon Höfele on the trumpet and Elisabeth Brauß on the piano. The young Armenian-Austrian conductor Emmanuel Tjeknavorian leads the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn.
