Strauss’ Towering Alpine Symphony by Habibi, Scriabin, Strauss, wo. 13 nov 2024, Van (2024/2024), Dirigent Rafael Payare, Maison Symphonique De Montréal, Calgary, Canada

For his return to the Maison symphonique Bruce Liu will perform Scriabin’s sole Piano Concerto, written in a poetic and highly Romantic style. In contrast to this, the vast soundscape of Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony evokes the colossal grandeur of the Bavarian Alps. Iman Habibi reflects upon the climate crisis by placing his Jeder Baum spricht in perspective with Beethoven’s 5th and 6th symphonies.
