Chopin's vergessenen Cantilene
- Location:
- Haus der Musik im Fruchtkasten, Schillerplatz 1, 70173 Stuttgart
Hardy Rittner tirelessly pursued the question of how the discrepancy in the portrayal of Chopin as a powerful keyboard lion on the one hand and his great sensitivity on the other could be bridged. Hardy Rittner saw the bridge in the composer's songfulness, his interest in bel canto. The exploratory pianist now opens up Chopin's work anew with cantabile. Rittner's academically sound performance is so sensual that the hall resonates.
Rittner creates easy access to the magic of the music, to the lion-like power of intelligent, historically informed piano singing and discusses elements together with classical music presenter Daniel Finkernagel.
