Liszt Piano Concerto by Liszt Competition Winner

The preliminary round is over, and according to jury member Nino Gvetadze, a wonderful selection of participants has been made: "The level of the competition is so high, everyone plays so beautifully... It's no longer about technique, it's about personalities, character, and the story being told. Who plays the most convincingly? And how do you present yourself?" she said on Podium . The winner will perform a Liszt piano concerto. The winner will remain a surprise until the winner is announced, but it will undoubtedly be a virtuoso feast full of beautiful melodies.

Schumann's Symphony No. 4

Schumann composed his atmospheric Fourth Symphony after encountering Schubert's "Great" Symphony . "I thought only Beethoven could write something so powerful!" He began composing, but it would take more than ten years before he was satisfied with the result. This perfectionism pays off: the symphony is highly original, with all four movements flowing seamlessly together. But above all, Schumann presents the listener with one powerful and memorable theme after another. The Radio Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by the renowned French conductor Stéphane Denève.
