Schumann, Glanert & Beethoven

Conductor Markus Stenz makes a welcome return to the Barbican for this all-German programme, which takes in Beethoven鈥檚 revolutionary Fifth Symphony and Schumann鈥檚 graceful piano concerto, to be performed by Honens International Piano Competition winner, Hong Xu. Frenesia was written by Detlev Glanert as a tribute to Richard Strauss鈥檚 150th anniversary, taking inspiration from the tremendous upsurge of kinetic energy at the start of Ein Heldenleben.
