Julia Kleiter / Julian Prégardien / Sir András Schiff
Opera
The works of Hamburg-born Johannes Brahms remain the epitome of Romantic music, a legacy evident not only in his symphonies but also in his profound piano works and a catalog of over 200 songs. Part of the “Liedstadt Hamburg” festival, this concert unites a star trio to explore that intimate repertoire in the neo-baroque Grand Hall of the Laeiszhalle, a historic venue that has shaped Hamburg’s musical life since 1908. The evening leans on the artistic vision of Sir András Schiff, one of the leading pianists of our time for more than half a century. Schiff’s deep, lifelong enthusiasm for Brahms sets the conceptual frame for the program, promising a vital, finely nuanced interpretation. The format is a traditional recital, keeping the focus entirely on the musical dialogue between the two voices and the piano.
