Weber - Overture, Oberon
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.5
Wagner - Lohengrin: Prelude to Act I
Wagner - Lohengrin: Prelude to Act III
Wagner - Die Meistersinger: Suite
Conductor
Sir Mark Elder
Featuring:
Francesco Piemontesi, piano
The concert opens with Weber’s magical overture, Oberon, before the exceptionally expressive pianist, Francesco Piemontesi, performs Beethoven’s ‘emperor of a concerto’. Then we hear two contrasting preludes from Lohengrin – the first, serene, and the second, energetic. In a glorious climax, Sir Mark guides us through the intimacy and ceremony of Wagner’s great comic masterpiece, Die Meistersinger.
