Sound journeys
A journey into classical-romantic soundscapes awaits you at Camerata Salzburg's guest performance in mid-May: »Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor op. 54 is probably the most sensitive, delicate and special of all piano concertos«, says French pianist Hélène Grimaud, who will be performing as a soloist alongside the Salzburg orchestra. Also on the programme are Ludwig van Beethoven's overture to Heinrich Joseph von Collin's tragedy »Coriolan« and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's First Symphony. The composer wrote the latter in 1824, at the age of 15, immediately after his twelve string symphonies. It is in the tradition of Viennese Classicism and emphasises the tonal and dramatic effect of the individual instruments, which was probably inspired not least by Beethoven's Fifth.
