Marc-André Hamelin | Piano

The ballroom of the Wartburg with its romantic decor and unique acoustics is the perfect setting for this piano recital. With Franz Liszt's "Tannhäuser" paraphrase, the French-Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin makes direct reference to the Wagner opera, which is performed here several times a year at this authentic venue. In addition to other works by the Romantic composer, who lived in nearby Weimar for a long time, the program includes Franz Schubert's penultimate piano sonata, one of the most important works of the genre - with enormous demands on the soloist's creative power and virtuosity. Experience the perfect symbiosis of music and space on this evening.
