Piano Solo
Four Sundays at 15.00 and one Sunday at 19.00
Listeners who enjoy concentrated musical performances at a world-class level will get their fill here. When a solo pianist – and in some cases, a duo – performs the masterpieces of the piano literature in the darkened Main Hall at Konserthuset, it is pure magic. Throughout the season, major international pianists will set the stage for the atmosphere commonly described by the expression: “so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.”

They grew up in a family of musicians and have been performing together since they were young. Since 2010, they have had an exclusive contract with the label Deutsche Grammophon.
We hear Stravinsky’s ground-breaking ballet, Rite of Spring, in a version for piano four hands, in which the details momentarily have clearer outlines than in the orchestral version. We also hear Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s masterful Andante and Allegro Brillant, dedicated to Clara Schumann and composed for a concert in Leipzig, at which they both performed the piece.
Schubert composed his magnificent Fantasia for piano four hands shortly before his death. It contains sadness and rumination, light and shimmering melodies, and rhythmically aggressive attacks. The Fantasia is dedicated to his beloved, Caroline Esterházy, who did not return his feelings. We also hear an arrangement of Ravel’s whimsical, dramatic, humorous and ironic La Valse.

He has given recitals at Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Carnegie Hall in New York, among other places. He is renowned for his fiery, intense and poetically penetrating performances, and debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in 2021 in Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2.
In this recital, he tackles one of Franz Schubert’s most technically challenging and difficult-to-master pieces: Wanderer Fantasy. Schubert took the basic theme from one of his romances, Der Wanderer, The Wanderer. Kantorow also presents a bouquet of Schubert’s songs in Liszt’s imaginative arrangements.
With many concerts and an acclaimed album, Kantorow has dug down deep into the music of Johannes Brahms. Kantorow won the Tchaikovsky Competition with Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2. At this concert, he has chosen to perform the Sonata in C major, composed by Brahms at just 20 years old.

She was also the first ever female musician to win the award. She has performed at Konserthuset Stockholm before, but now for the first time, we hear her in her own recital.
Fliter has been praised for her recordings of Beethoven’s best-known sonatas. Here she tackles music by Robert Schumann. To begin with the crystal clear and sweet ”childhood scenes”, Kinderzenen, followed by his imaginative Sonata in G minor – which Clara Schumann “very much looked forward to” her husband Robert completing.
We also hear Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, one of the most striking and diverse piano pieces of the nineteenth century. It is magnificent and virtuosic, and demonstrates the power of the piano and potential of the full orchestra in every way. The pieces are structured as variations, most based on a theme by Baron von Fricken, an amateur flute player whose daughter Schumann had a love affair with before falling madly in love with Clara, whom he married.
