About the Event
The performer was Alexander Malofeev, then 21 years old, who stepped in for a prominent colleague. Critics even hailed the pianist as heralding a “piano revolution.” The young artist has indeed been unwaveringly pursuing his path since winning the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Artists in Moscow at the age of 13. He has now reached the “very top,” thrilling audiences with his brilliant technique and as a “lyricist with a penchant for enthusiasm” (Die Presse). It is a real stroke of luck that Alexander Malofeev is currently able to perform on concert stages around the world. Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Malofeev has been in artistic exile. Immediately after the outbreak of war, he found refuge in Berlin and was able to settle there.
At the concert in his new home city, he will perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5. He will be accompanied by none other than the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under the baton of its principal conductor Petr Popelka, who impresses with his captivating energy and natural musicality.

Artists
| Orchestra, Soloist: | Wiener Symphoniker The Wiener Symphoniker can look back on an eventful history, an outward sign being the several alterations that its name has undergone. Unforgettable will remain the legendary concert before Pope John XXIII at the Vatican in 1959 as well as the world premieres of such masterpieces as Bruckner’s 9th Symphony, Arnold Schönberg’s Gurrelieder, Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Franz Schmidt’s The Book with the Seven Seals. During the First World War, the orchestra was saved from being disbanded only by a fusion with the Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra, founded in 1913. In 1944 however, the orchestra’s activities came to a halt for eight months. |
