Munich Philharmonic: Tjøgersen / Beethoven / SibeliusMarie Jacquot (conductor), Rudolf Buchbinder (piano)
This event is in the past.
As a teenager, Marie Jacquot was well on her way to becoming a tennis pro. Then she opted for music after all and studied trombone and conducting. Her time as a competitive athlete continues to hold benefits for the principal conductor designate of the Royal Danish Opera to this day.

With her atmospheric orchestral piece, Between Trees, Norwegian composer Kristine Tjøgersen takes us on a sound excursion into the forest. Sibelius, too, took a naturalistic approach in an early draft of his first symphony. He then discarded his programmatic ideas, instead creating a transitional work between programme music and absolute music for his symphonic debut. Bookended by these Scandinavian works is Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No 3 with its dreamlike middle movement that already presages the Romantic period. The soloist is Rudolf Buchbinder, whom the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung described as one of the “most important and competent Beethoven players of our day”.
Programme
