As a result of a reduced preparation time due to illness, Yefim Bronfman, Pablo Heras-Casado and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks will perform the Piano Concerto by Elena Firsova, composed for and premiered by Mr. Bronfmann, instead of the originally planned Piano Concerto by Alfred Schnittke.
Information about the programme
Two highly acclaimed artists are returning to the BRSO: Pablo Heras-Casado and Yefim Bronfman, both famed for their extraordinary versatility. Pablo Heras-Casado most recently stood at the conductor’s desk in Munich in 2021, when he headed two world premières in the Musica Viva series. This time he will conduct three exemplary works from the 20th und 21st century: Stravinsky’s scintillating ballet score The Firebird, which laid the cornerstone for the young composer’s wordwide fame in 1910; Ligeti’s classic orchestral work Lontano, a masterpiece of micro-polyphonically intertwined sound surfaces; and the Piano Concerto by Elena Firsova. Composed in 2020, the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra grants us a thrilling reunion with the BRSO’s former artist-in-residence, Yefim Bronfman.
