„Sinfonia Varsovia“ - Das Warschauer Symphonieorchester in der Tonhalle Düsseldorf

"Sinfonia Varsovia"

The Warsaw Symphony Orchestra at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf

On October 30, you have the chance to immerse yourself in the world of classical music with special talents. The concert by Sinfonia Varsovia will begin at 8 pm under the direction of Martijn Dendievel and with Rafał Blechacz at the piano.

"A very honest, extraordinary and sensitive artist." With these words, Martha Argerich, the grande dame of the piano, paid tribute to her colleague Rafał Blechacz, four decades her junior. It has been clear that she hit the nail on the head at least since 2005, when Blechacz not only won all the special prizes at the highly famous Chopin Competition, but also won the main competition - and impressed so much that the jury did not feel able to award a second prize: The young Pole had so towered over the other finalists that a little distance seemed necessary. The highly virtuoso masterpiece is framed by Robert Schumann's Manfred Overture and Antonín Dvořák's Seventh Symphony: a wide-ranging arc through the multifaceted music of the Romantic period.
