Chopin: Piano Concerto No.2
Schumann: Symphony No.4
Mendelssohn’s ship is becalmed in extraordinary music of rapt stillness, but its voyage is a happy one, and celebratory trumpets greet its safe arrival.
Yeol Eum Son makes her New Zealand début performing Chopin’s filigree Piano Concerto No.2. Praised for her graceful and perceptive playing, her performance is something to anticipate keenly.
Listening to Schumann working on his Fourth Symphony, his wife Clara told her diary: ‘this will be another work that is emerging from the depths of his soul’. After a sombre beginning, Schumann triumphs over adversity. Giordano Bellincampi captures the clouds and the sunshine.
*Please also note that there are artist changes for this performance:
Yeol Eum Son replaces the previously advertised Ingrid Fliter.
