Contrasting program

This man is unstoppable! After his fascinating journey around the world with Bach's Goldberg Variations, Víkingur Ólafsson has set himself a program of contrasts for this season: Solitude and contemplation - a pianist alone with 88 keys in 88 concertos - is followed by big sound, big orchestra, big emotion. Both piano concertos by Johannes Brahms will accompany him and us throughout the season. The passionate first one, which the young Brahms initially conceived as a symphony, kicks things off. Accordingly, the piano part is closely linked to the orchestral parts. It's good to have such accomplished partners as the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Edward Gardner at your side! The British orchestra complements the program with Bartók's Miraculous Mandarin and a work by its current composer-in-residence, the Cuban-American composer Tania León.
