  • Anna Vinnitskaya, piano
  • Munich Philharmonic
  • Joana Mallwitz, conductor

The relaxed, approachable Joana Mallwitz stands for a new image of the conducting profession. Anna Vinnitskaya knows both how to ignite fireworks and how to fashion expansive paintings on the piano. Tchaikovsky’s famous Piano Concerto No 1 presents her with an opportunity to demonstrate both of these skills.

 

With their concert suites, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály both presented themselves as storytellers, albeit of very different kinds. For the incredible adventures of the Hungarian Liar Baron Háry János, Kodály skilfully fuses his love of folk music with the opera genre. Bartók, on the other hand, composed his music for the Mandarin not as edification, but as an unembellished reflection of reality, causing a scandal in the process. With its uncompromising tonal language, The Miraculous Mandarin is a milestone in 20th century music history.

Programme

  • Béla Bartók: “A Csodálatos Mandarin” (The Miraculous Mandarin), Op 19
  • Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No 1 in B-flat minor, Op 23
