Following the world premiere of the "Shakespeare Monologues" in the 3rd Philharmonic Concert, Sylvain Cambreling returns to Duisburg for a guest performance. This time, he will be conducting the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, the resident orchestra of the magnificent Laeiszhalle, where he has been chief conductor since 2018. His program includes two Viennese classics: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose genius is particularly evident in his piano concertos, in addition to his operas with their deeply felt character portraits. Number 23 in A major is one of the later concertos composed in Vienna. It was composed at the same time as the work on "Le nozze di Figaro". The final movement with its agitated parlando is also reminiscent of Mozart's great opera finales. The solo part is played by Argentinian pianist Nelson Goerner, who has already performed a Brahms piano quartet as a chamber musician in Duisburg. A few years after Mozart, Beethoven also went to Vienna to receive "Mozart's spirit from Haydn's hands", as his Bonn patron Count von Waldstein wished. The "Pastorale", composed in Vienna, is one of the best-known pieces of program music - with its birdcalls, a violent storm with piccolo lightning and timpani thunder as well as shepherds' songs. A typical Cambreling program, who is known for his multi-layered concert dramaturgies.
