Canceled: Liszt Piano Concerto
About This Concert:
Due to deteriorating weather conditions, this performance has been canceled.
Wagner’s beautiful chamber work Siegfried Idyll, Liszt’s glittering Piano Concerto No. 1 and the soaring Symphony No. 2 by Schumann.
- Minnesota Orchestra
- Markus Stenz, conductor
- Louis Lortie, piano
WAGNER
Siegfried Idyll
LISZT
Piano Concerto No. 1
SCHUMANN
Symphony No. 2
Fun Facts:
- Richard Wagner surprised his wife at Christmas long ago with Siegfried Idyll, and her standards were awfully high, as she was also the daughter of Franz Liszt.
- Of course the piano is the most important instrument in Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1, but the tiny solo triangle comes in a surprisingly close second.
- Canada’s Louis Lortie knows his Liszt, and his recent Liszt recording won a “Ten Best” citation from The New Yorker.
- Schumann’s Symphony No. 2 was a triumph against all odds, written while the composer weathered debilitating mental-health challenges and a constant ringing in his ears.
