with the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria

Description

Splendor and passion, tender poetry and rousing verve define this brilliant program with some of the most popular works by the Romantic composer Robert Schumann. The "Rhenish" Symphony was composed in happy times and balances cheerfulness and thoughtfulness at the height of Schumann's mastery. The Piano Concerto in A minor, on the other hand, is the sonorous document of his love for piano virtuoso Clara Wieck - and of their struggle to be allowed to marry. The premiere took place with her as soloist and Schumann's wife.
The multi-award-winning pianist Sergey Tanin, who lives in Basel, introduces himself to the Tonkunstler with this work. The young Colombian conductor Ana Maria Patiño-Osorio will make her Tonkunstler debut on the podium.

Introductory talk one hour before the concert begins.
