ALEXANDER MELNIKOV
In the organizer's words:
Alexander Melnikov, piano, harpsichord and conductor
Chamber Academy Potsdam
Marianna Martines | Overture in C major
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy | Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor op. 25 / Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor op.40
Joseph Haydn | Symphony No. 98 in B flat major Hob. I:98
His programmatic ideas are ingenious, his piano playing precise and stylistically confident, often combined with subtle humor. Following his debut in February 2023, the KAP is looking forward to another collaboration with the Berlin-based pianist Alexander Melnikov. According to contemporaries, Mendelssohn Bartholdy was one of the most brilliant pianists of the 19th century; his piano works, from sonatas and fantasies to solo concertos, are rich in variety and lyricism. The overture by the composer Martines also sounds exuberant and lively. Her contemporary Haydn notated a special feature in his Symphony in B flat major: an extraordinary harpsichord solo, which Alexander Melnikov will play himself on this evening.
