BMO-WEB---+Marge

Franz Liszt’s symphonic poem Les préludes is loosely based on a méditation on life and death by French poet Alphonse de Lamartine. It is a theme that courses through the works of Shostakovich, whose Tenth Symphony was premiered a few months after the death of Stalin. This program will also be an opportunity to enjoy Ravel as rendered by Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, who will be making his Maison symphonique debut.

Víkingur Ólafsson, piano Víkingur Ólafsson has made a profound impact with his remarkable combination of top-level musicianship and visionary programming. His multi-prize-winning recordings for Deutsche Grammophon—Philip Glass Piano Works (2017), Johann Sebastian Bach (2018), Debussy-Rameau (2020) and Mozart & Contemporaries (2021)—completely won over the public and critics. The Daily Telegraph describes him as “the new superstar of classical piano” and The New York Times, as “Iceland’s Glenn Gould.” Ólafsson is a soloist with the world’s leading orchestras and has served as Artist-in-Residence of many prestigious concert halls and festivals. He also works closely with some of today’s greatest composers. A captivating communicator, he has presented several of his own series for television and radio, hosting live on BBC Radio 4’s flagship arts program, Front Row. During the pandemic, his live broadcasts from an empty Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavík reached millions of listeners around the world.
