Shows

Pianistin Kristina Miller und das Orchester Recreation Kristina Miller takes us on an exuberant keyboard journey from a samba-dancing ox to Cole Porter and Handel's grandiose Hallelujah with her piano partners and four to six hands.

Content

Six hands, one grand piano

On the piano, it takes six hands to recreate the majestic sound of Handel’s Hallelujah in all its glory. This shout of jubilation for the festival of Easter is the crowning point of a programme guaranteed to lift the mood, with works ranging from Cole Porter to Gershwin and Milhaud. The cheerfulness is nowhere more contagious than in Milhaud’s ballet music Le boeuf sur le toit, The Ox on the Roof, with its Brazilian rhythms. As a rule, we associate the ox with Christmas and Whitsun. Here he can get up on the roof and into Helmut List Halle to dance an Easter samba.

Programme

Darius Milhaud: Le boeuf sur le toit (The Ox on the Roof) 
Georg Friedrich Handel: Hallelujah from "Messiah" for piano at six hands 
Franz Schmidt: Halleluja from "Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln"
Music by George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Franz Liszt and others for two, four and six hands
