Schiff performs in Leicester

De Montfort Hall
Sat 19 Mar 2011 7:30pm

András Schiff	conductor/piano

Brahms	Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn
Haydn	Symphony No. 104, London
Beethoven	Piano Concerto No. 4

One of four concerts in the 2011 Piano Season

Haydn, Beethoven and Brahms form three generations of titans of German classical music. Brahms was deeply interested in musical history and scholarship and this set of variations honouring Haydn seems to chart the course of musical history since the composition of the original theme. Haydn’s own Symphony No. 104 ends the programme; this was the composer’s last symphony but has no valedictory tone and is instead full of confidence and inspiration, no doubt stimulated by the new environment in which the composer found himself. In the middle of these great works, Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto with its sparkling finale contains a mixture of delicate filigree and exuberant vitality.
