Concertissimo – Piano Concertos by Beethoven and Mozart

Description

Historical practice above all, the 'played-conducted' concerto has traversed history and is now experiencing a new momentum: the Géza-Anda Foundation and the OCG join forces to pay tribute to this Hungarian-Swiss pianist, a fervent practitioner of the conducted piano concerto. The three young pianists in this concert, all winners of international competitions, will have been prepared during a workshop held in the preceding days by the great Christian Zacharias, a master of the exercise. A burst of youth... "The OCG, as its name indicates, has at the heart of its program what primarily concerns chamber music: interaction, hyper-reactivity, exchange. Here, punctuating the discourse of the best pianists of our time, each will take on a part of the role usually assigned to the conductor. Every passenger enters the cockpit!" — Raphaël Merlin The pianists of this played/conducted concert - Illia Ovcharenko - Julian Trevelyan - Daumants Liepins Program - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Piano Concerto No. 23, KV 488, by Illia Ovcharenko - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Piano Concerto No. 24, KV 491, by Julian Trevelyan - Ludwig van Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. 2, by Daumants Liepins In collaboration with the Géza Anda Foundation
