Grande Dame of the Piano

With dark pathos, Wagner’s Faust Overture – inspired by Berlioz’s »Roméo et Juliette« Symphony and Beethoven’s Ninth – opens this concert by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra. Following directly on from the time of its composition at the beginning of the 1840s is the epitome of the Romantic piano concerto with Elisabeth Leonskaja as soloist: Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor, in which the composer strives for the aesthetic ideal of the close interlocking of piano and orchestra.
