Piano Duo Antithesis in concert
Χωρίς Τίτλο
The final concert in the series brings together a collection of better and lesser known works—all energetic—from the repertoire of the European 20th century. Witold Lutoslawski’s Variations on a theme by Paganini (1941), an irresistible burlesque written during the German occupation when the composer was playing the piano in Warsaw cafes, is followed by two legendary works: Béla Bartók’s Sonata for two pianos and percussion (1937) and Maurice Ravel’s piano version of La valse (1919-1920), a nostalgic and merciless depiction of the Vienna of the Belle Époque which vanished without trace in the fallout from the Great War. The concert ends with Chorochronos I (1997) by Minas Borboudakis, a Cretan composer who lives and works in Munich whose outstandingly vital, spirited music is often inspired by science and philosophy. Chorochronos I is based on theories by the physicist Stephen Hawking on the origins and future of the universe.
