The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/arkadij-volodos/Arcadi Volodos has long been among the leading piano soloists in the world and appears with orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the New York Philharmonic. He also gives recitals on the most prestigious concert stages and now, for the first time ever, we have the opportunity to see him perform at Konserthuset Stockholm.
The programme includes several tranquil, picturesque and technically demanding pieces by Franz Liszt, including the magnificent second ballad inspired by Gottfried Bürger’s gothic and dark ballad Leonore, the extremely virtuoso Legend No 1 ”St François d’Assise: La prédication aux oiseaux” and the gripping Petrarca Sonata 123.
In addition, we will hear music by Robert Schumann. Humoreske was composed with love for his wife Clara. He wrote to her: ”I’ve been sitting at the piano all week, composing and writing, laughing and crying all at once. All this you will find beautifully depicted in my opus 20, the Grand Humoreske ...”.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/lvb250--igor-levit-pathétique/Igor Levit is one of his generation’s most important pianists (he was born in 1987) and he regularly appears on all of the major concert stages worldwide. He has performed at Konserthuset Stockholm on several occasions, each time with Beethoven on the programme. When he returns for the major Beethoven anniversary, he will do so emphatically – in eight concerts, he will perform all 32 of Beethoven’s piano sonatas.
The sonatas are a grandiose listening adventure, a musical journey through storms and passion, happiness and resignation. The music is charged with incredibly expressive power and occasionally approaches the masterful limits of what can be played. The sonatas are typically divided into three groups: the early period, no. 1–11 with clear classical influences and composed between 1792 and 1822; the mid period, with no. 12–27, which traverse a path towards Romanticism, and the late sonatas, no. 28–32, which are considered to surpass all limits. The opportunity to hear all of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, as listeners will here, produces an incredible overview of Beethoven’s musical brilliance and endless desire for musical evolution.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/yuja-wang/Critical superlatives and audience ovations have continuously followed Yuja Wang’s dazzling career. The Beijing-born pianist, celebrated for her charismatic artistry and captivating stage presence, returns to Konserthuset Stockholm for another exciting piano recital. Programme to be announced later on.
Yuja Wang is widely recognized as one of the most important artists of her generation. Her prodigious virtuosity and technical control command critical acclaim. She believes, however, that technique should never be an end in itself, that it should always serve the cause of emotional expression and musical interpretation.
Her artistic credo is ultimately both simple and extraordinarily complex: ”I want to relate all life to music”, she recently told the Observer (London).

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/daniil-trifonov/It is no exaggeration to say that Daniil Trifonov is one of the world’s absolute foremost concert pianists. He has won several prestigious distinctions and awards in famous piano competitions such as the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, and the Rubinstein and Tchaikovsky competitions in Tel Aviv and Moscow. Piano legend Martha Argerich has said of Trifonov that “he has it all, and then some.”
He has previously guest-performed at Konserthuset Stockholm, both in a recital and with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, including at the Nobel Prize Concert in 2015 when he was the soloist in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3. It is with great pleasure that we now welcome back Trifonov. This time, the programme is dedicated entirely to music by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Kunst der Fuge means essentially the art of the fugue, and it is Bach’s monumental masterpiece in the form of several fugues and canons, all based on the same theme. Bach also composed himself into this perpetually fascinating and masterful music, with the notes B, A, C, H, in German notation.
Many of history’s greatest composers and pianists have arranged Bach’s work. Here, we will get to experience the famous Chaconne for solo violin in an unusual arrangement by Johannes Brahms for left hand. With dazzling technique and intense expressiveness, Trifonov will also tackle Rachmaninoff’s version of Prelude, Gavotte and Gigue from Partita in E Major, and Liszt’s arrangement for piano of the Prelude and Fugue in G Minor for organ.
