The one and only Lang Lang opens our Piano series with Chopin's Mazurkas, in which folk dance and sensitivity form a fascinating connection, and continues the romantic mood with Schumann's cycle Kreisleriana, overflowing with imagination and emotion. Alexander Lonquich continues the series with Schumann's Novelettes, lesser-known but no less magnificent, which he contrasts with other discoveries, including Anton Bruckner's poignant piece Remembrance. Alexander Melnikov contributes to the Berliner Philharmoniker's Biennale in February 2025 with his recital, titled Paradise Lost?, focusing on nature and its impending destruction. His programme ranges from the landscapes traversed by Schubert's "Wanderer" and the natural poetry of a late work by Schumann to the extravagant pianistic experiments of Liszt and Scriabin.
Not to be missed is the season’s Artist in Residence, Seong-Jin Cho, who will present the collected solo piano works of Maurice Ravel on the occasion of his 150th birthday. Music of delicate emotion, it is at once multifaceted and unmistakably Ravel. The nonpareil Mitsuko Uchida concludes the series with two weighty sonatas by Beethoven and Schubert. Schubert's B-flat major Sonata holds a special place in the repertoire. It was the composer's last major work, and exhibits extraordinary expressive range – from rhapsodic sunshine to glimpses of the abyss.
