Cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras
The world-famous cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras is the ideal interpreter of Robert Schumann’s lyric Cello Concerto. This work was never performed during Schumann’s lifetime, but it later achieved near-cult status because of its mysterious, dreamy middle movement. Remarkably, Queyras has never performed as soloist with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, so this is a unique and highly anticipated opportunity.
Maxim Emelyanychev
During his debut in 2021, the youthful Maxim Emelyanychev proved to be a multifaceted and communicative conductor; he was immediately invited to return. Now, he combines Schumann with Haydn and Prokofiev’s ‘classical’ symphonies. There are plenty of reasons why Prokofiev’s First Symphony, dating from 1916, is known as the ‘Classical.’ This is how Haydn’s music would have sounded if he had been alive in the twentieth century. Haydn will be represented in this programme with one of his final symphonies, composed in London: nicknamed the ‘Drumroll Symphony,’ it’s one of his most popular hits.
