With its extreme contrasts, ranging from tender, poetic moments to dramatic climaxes, Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto No 2 presents a technical and interpretive challenge for the soloist.

Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet had to cancel his participation in the concerts on 19 and 20 February 2025 due to unforeseen personal scheduling conflicts. However, a renowned substitute has already been found in the French pianist François-Frédéric Guy.
Bookending the Piano Concerto will be two Strausses: Josef Strauss composed his Dynamiden waltz in 1865 for the Industrialists’ Ball in the Redoutensaal of the Vienna Hofburg, venturing into compositional realms not usually touched upon by dance music. No wonder, then, that Richard Strauss plagiarised this jewel of a waltz for his Rosenkavalier. Needless to say, the famous waltz melody can also be found in the Rosenkavalier Suite, which Philippe Jordan has arranged specially for this concert by the Munich Philharmonic. The selected passages from the opera allow the audience to experience the plot in compacted form, bringing the famous arias of the Marschallin, Octavian and Baron Ochs to life, even without voices on stage.

- Josef Strauss: Dynamiden. Mysterious Powers of Magnetism, Op 173
