Frighteningly ingenious
»A different hand position every bar - do you think I'm going to sit down for four weeks to study such an unruly piece?« Hans von Bülow once refused to premiere the burlesque by his young protégé Richard Strauss. He would later describe it as »ingenious« and »terrifying«. Rudolf Buchbinder said in the BR Klassik interview: »There are various things that are a new world for us pianists: the harmony, his rhythm and his piano technique. We are not confronted with Strauss' music in any way, not like a singer or string player - they grow up with Strauss. And it was also one of the most difficult works for me to learn, study and work on.« On two evenings, the experienced pianist will tackle this imaginative composition with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the young Latvian conductor Aivis Greters, before performing Jean Sibelius' artfully orchestrated Second Symphony.
