2. Akademiekonzert: Krzysztof Urbański

In the organizer's words:

Following a long-standing tradition, members of the Bavarian State Orchestra introduce themselves to their audiences as soloists in the Academy Concerts. Now it is the turn of Emanuel Graf, who has been principal cellist here since 2015 and is not only active in the orchestra pit, but also frequently in chamber concerts. On the podium of the Nationaltheater, he will now perform Antonín Dvořák's Cello Concerto, one of the essential solo works for this instrument - about which Johannes Brahms is said to have said: "Why didn't I know that a cello concerto like this could be written? If I had known, I would have written one a long time ago!" Krzysztof Urbański conducts the Bavarian State Orchestra. He made his debut at the Munich Academy Concerts in turbulent times: The 2nd Academy Concert 2020/21 was converted into a "Monday piece" at short notice due to newly tightened pandemic-related protective measures and was thus played and experienced as a live stream. Now the young Polish conductor is returning to the podium at the National Theatre and bringing with him a true virtuoso piece whose elemental force is still overwhelming today: Stravinsky's ballet Le sacre du printemps , which was scandalized at its premiere.
