Janina Fialkowska performs Chopin
Jahja Ling Conductor
Janina Fialkowska Piano
Programme:
Weber: Oberon Overture
Chopin: Piano Concerto No.1
Sibelius: Symphony No.2
Weber’s Oberon Overture makes for a magical and exuberant curtain-raiser. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth, Canadian pianist Janina Fialkowska returns to cadogan Hall to perform his First Piano Concerto. Regarded as one of the world’s leading Chopin interpreters, she is the perfect exponent for the brilliant piano writing of this Concerto. Sibelius’ Second Symphony provides a fitting finale to the evening. Inspired by his Finnish homeland, it is a work full of romantic melodies and electrifying thrust.
