Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Elim Chan, Francesco Piemontesi
Berlin, Konzerthaus Berlin — Großer Saal
About the Event
Explore the beauty of classical music at Konzerthaus Berlin in Berlin, where masterworks by Berlioz, Schumann and Rimsky‐Korsakov come to life in this incredible performance.
Hong Kong‐born Elim Chan leads the Konzerthausorchester Berlin with three Romantic audience favorites: Hector Berlioz was a fan of the eccentric poet Lord Byron and probably specially renamed an overture in honor of his poem 'Le Corsaire.' For Robert Schumann's only piano concerto, the Swiss Francesco Piemontesi takes his place at the grand piano.
Finally, the famous 'Scheherazade Suite' by the Russian Nikolai Rimsky‐Korsakov is heard. Its colorful instrumentation ensures that all musicians can emerge with wonderful passages.
