Stellar Performances By The MPO And Piano Virtuoso Barry Douglas At DFP
Renowned pianist, Barry Douglas, returns to the Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS’ stage to collaborate with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) in December. Under the baton of the MPO’s Principal Conductor, Matthias Bamert, the scheduled performances are on Saturday, 10 December 05 at 8.30 p.m. and Sunday, 11 December 05 at 3.00 p.m.
Barry Douglas, prior to these performances, has collaborated with the MPO in season 99/00. Besides the MPO, other prominent orchestras that he has performed with include the Berlin Philharmonic and Leipzig Gewandhaus in Germany, the orchestras of Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland and Los Angeles in the USA, the NHK and Tokyo symphonies in Japan, and all major orchestras in London. He is particularly known for his performances of the large scale Romantic repertoire including Brahms, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, and also other less familiar concerti.
With the MPO, he will perform Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.5 in E flat (Op.73) ‘Emperor’, one of the longest concerto ever written. At its premiere in Leipzig in 1811, the press described it as ‘one of the most original, imaginative, effective and difficult of all existing concertos’.
The MPO will also present Schoenberg’s Pelleas And Melisande (Op.5). The composer had a passion for literature and is a prolific writer. He fell under the spell of Maeterlinck’s dark and evocative tale of the destructive power of love. Schoenberg chose to cast it as a Symphonic Poem which he composed between 1902 and 1903. He himself conducted the premiere of the work in Vienna in 1905. The work runs without a break, comprises of eleven scenes cast in four parts, each corresponding to one of the movements of a classical symphony.
Enjoy the stellar performances by the MPO and pianist Barry Douglas, the finest of its kind, only at DFP!
