Per aspera ad astra
Bernd Glemser spielt die beiden berühmtesten Werke Beethovens neben der Neunten: die „Mondscheinsonate“ und die Fünfte Symphonie in Liszts Klavierfassung. Die alte Menschheitsdevise „Per aspera ad astra“ (Durch das Raue zu den Sternen) hat in diesen Stücken die letztgültige Gestalt angenommen: durch die Beschwernisse des Lebens zum Sternenlicht der Kunst und Erkenntnis emporzudringen.
Programme
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonatain C-Sharp Minor, op. 27, “Moonlight Sonata” Symphony No. 5 in C minor, op. 67, arranged for piano by Franz Liszt
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.
