**Stanislav Kochanovsky** conductor
**Lise de la Salle** piano

**Beethoven** Egmont – overture
**Beethoven** Piano Concerto No.4
**Brahms** Symphony No.4

We welcome one of the most distinguished German radio orchestras for a concert of classics by two of their compatriots: Beethoven and Brahms.

Beethoven completed his Fourth Piano Concerto at a pivotal moment in his turbulent life. His hearing rapidly failing, its premiere was the last time he performed in public with an orchestra – in a legendary concert that also saw the premieres of his Fifth and Sixth Symphonies. French pianist Lise de la Salle steps into his shoes tonight following a performance of the composer’s triumphant Egmont overture.

Beethoven’s influence can be heard in Brahms’ final symphony, as can that of Bach. However, this is Brahms’ own work through and through – and it’s a towering achievement that stands comparison with the greatest symphonies in the canon.

Please note, pianist Lise de la Salle replaces Ingrid Fliter who has pulled out of the concert due to injury.


You can watch Stanislav Kochanovsky conduct the NDR Radiophilharmonie in Brahms’ Fourth Symphony right now, recorded live just last month at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival in Neubrandenburg. The same orchestra, the same conductor, the same symphony. Consider it your preview!
