Established duo reunited
3rd Mini Subscription Concert I
Works by Schubert and Beethoven
He is not fazed by anything. Not by New Music, not by the heavyweights of the repertoire. Pianist Igor Levit, who was educated for the most part in Hanover and graduated top of the class, is not only one of the shooting stars among today’s young generation of pianists: he also has plenty to say – both on and off the podium. Driven by a permanent sense of curiosity and relying on his qualities as a musician, Levit has over the past few years played his way to the forefront of the world’s major concert podiums both at home and abroad – including Bremen, where, together with old master Sir Roger Norrington, he will perform one of Beethoven’s piano concertos. The two have got to know and appreciate one another over a considerable time. Norrington, the wry Englishman, himself once a pioneer of historically informed performance practice, is a regular guest conductor with The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and this time will present one of his favourite composers: Franz Schubert.
