Lapwood mit Poulenc

In the organizer's words:

Our concert hall organ, the "orchestra in an instrument", is at the center of Francis Poulenc's Organ Concerto - a work full of contrasts. At times deeply serious, almost sacred, then surprisingly playful, Poulenc combines tradition and modernity in a fascinating way. The evening's soloist, Anna Lapwood, one of the most exciting organists of her generation, inspires with her virtuosity and her ability to win people over to classical music.
The Fifth Symphony by the great Dane Carl Nielsen is considered a jewel of symphonic literature. Premiered in 1922, it is probably the boldest creation of the already always original composer. The "battle" between the orchestra and a rebellious snare drum is particularly impressive, creating thrilling tension. In the course of the symphony, beautiful, calming passages are heard again and again, which are suddenly replaced by rousing "evil" climaxes - an exciting rollercoaster ride of emotions!
