Two masterpieces of classical music
Beethoven’s greatest violin sonata is such powerful music that it breaks all bonds of emotion. In Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, the piano transcends the black and white of its keys, creating sound paintings in rich colours. Two masterpieces of classical music, with piano virtuoso Bernd Glemser ably partnered by Mirijam Contzen on the violin.
Programme
Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures at an exhibition Ludwig van Beethoven: violin sonata in A major, “Kreutzer Sonata”
The German-Japanese violinist combines grandeur and the highest technical mastery to create sophisticated interpretations. In addition to her engagements with the world's leading orchestras, her passion for chamber music has led to collaborations with highly renowned musicians. She also attaches great importance to promoting exceptional young violinists.
Absolute freedom and absolute control - these are apparently not opposites in Bernd Glemser's brilliant piano playing. The Swabian, born in 1962, won all the piano prizes at an early age and has since performed on the world's greatest stages. And audiences and the press are constantly amazed by the unrivalled quality and poetry of his performances.
