About this event
Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht durch dich celebrated the composer’s 250th birthday with a questioning eco-present, there’s authentic Beethoven too in a concerto balancing poised reflection with infectious high jinx. The dream-turned-nightmare of Berlioz’s fantastical symphony, meanwhile, was composed just three years after Beethoven’s death – and spins an opium-fuelled fantasy that marches to the scaffold before stumbling upon the satanic abandon of a witches’ sabbath.
A former member of the Simón Bolívar Orchestra (which comes to the Hall in January), Rafael Payare is a dynamic presence on the podium, ‘destined’, according to Classical Explorer, ‘to create miracles in Montréal’. He’s joined by a pianist whose Rotterdam performance of the Beethoven was ‘at times almost jazz-like in its fluency and fluidity of phrasing’ (Bachtrack).
