Pierre-Laurent Aimard in conversation with Stephan Koncz
François-Xavier Roth and Pierre-Laurent Aimard
Pierre-Laurent Aimard is one of the foremost musicians of our time – a “thinker at the piano” (The Washington Post). Together with François-Xavier Roth, general music director of the city of Cologne, he performs Béla Bartók’s Third Piano Concerto, a work permeated by a soft parlando tone and gentle melancholy. The other works on the programme are wonderfully energetic – albeit in very different ways: Joseph Haydn’s Fire Symphony, and Arcana by Edgard Varèse.
