Description

ABOUT THE CONCERT

The court theatre entrepreneur Baron Braun approached Beethoven with an offer to compose music for the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus based on a theme by the then famous Italian choreographer Salvatore Viganò. The overture to the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus was composed in 1800, i.e. even earlier than the better-known Egmont, Leonores Nos. 1–3, Coriolanus, and others.

Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in A minor is one of the most performed compositions not only by Grieg, but also of Norwegian music as a whole. The three-movement composition attracts attention with its original Nordic melodies and harmonies, and Grieg projected elements of village folklore into it.

Jan Václav Hugo Voříšek was one of the most important representatives of Czech Classicism and at the same time anticipated the arrival of the Romantic style in his work. Symphony in D major was written in 1821 and soon earned the respect of Beethoven himself, to whose early works it is often compared. Although it can be considered somewhat outdated in some respects, we also find passages that point forward towards Early Romanticism.

The solo piano part will be performed by pianist Adam Gutseriev. The concert will be conducted by the French conductor Emmanuel Plasson.
