Christian Thieleman and ‘his’ Staatskapelle will perform tone-poems by Franz Liszt (‘Orpheus’, ‘Prometheus’ and ‘Les Préludes’) as well as Hans Pfitzner’s Piano Concerto in E flat major. The soloist is the political activist Igor Levit, known for his campaign against discrimination, particularly anti-Semitism. Given Pfitzner’s problematic Nazi past, this is an intriguing constellation – one might even call it a confrontation.
