* Alim Beisenbayev replaces Jeneba Kenneh-Mason, who has had to withdraw due to a minor injury.
This November, Usher Hall sets its stage for a gripping musical drama when the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra is joined by the brilliant Kazakh piano star Alim Beisembayev.
Mendelssohn’s tempestuous vision of Fingal’s Cave in his famous Hebrides Overture is the prelude to Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20, written when he was the height of his powers. Dark-hued and intense, it’s an unforgettable live experience, particularly when performed by an artist as gifted as Alim, named by The Telegraph as one of the "10 most exciting young musicians in the world".
Alim shot to fame by winning the 2021 Leeds Competition and, just two years later, became a highlight of the BBC Proms when, with just two days’ notice, he stepped in to perform Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Sinfonia of London and John Wilson to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall and extraordinary reviews. You can watch the performance here.
A former BBC New Generation Artist, Alim’s highly rated by many of the top UK orchestras. And his Mozart is really special – his recordings of Mozart’s Piano Concertos No. 25 and No. 26 with Vienna Radio Symphony received fantastic reviews.
The finale of the concert brings Brahms’s passionate and concentrated 3rd Symphony. Partly inspired by a fleeting love affair, it shows the composer at his most free-spirited and rhythmically daring, featuring some of the tenderest melodies that he ever created. Legendary conductor Carlos Kleiber described it as “the most perfect of the Brahms symphonies”.
Don’t miss this evening of emotive classics from an orchestra that lives and breathes this music, and one of the brightest talents of his generation.
