Christian Thielemann in conversation with Albrecht Mayer
Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Maurizio Pollini and Christian Thielemann
No music collection should be without Maurizio Pollini’s legendary Chopin recordings. In this concert, he presents the First Piano Concerto with Christian Thielemann in the Philharmonie. In other ways as well, the evening revolves around the Romantic era: with Schumann’s Genoveva overture, Aribert Reimann’s Schumann fragments and symphonic interludes from Strauss’s opera Intermezzo that virtuosically oscillate between luscious late Romantic sound and pioneering originality.
