Pieter Wispelwey and Paolo Giacometti

Pieter Wispelwey has been one of the most important cellists worldwide since his breakthrough in the 90s. With a very personal approach, he just as gladly takes on the music of Bach, with whom he has a special bond, as the great romantic repertoire. Bij Wispelwey no concert is the same, the music sounds fresh and new every time, as if it were whispered by the composer on the spot. Paolo Giacometti is not so much Wispelwey's piano accompanist, but an equal musical powerhouse. De Italiaanse pianist, who has long since lived as a Dutchman, is fully a match for Wispelwey. They play an intimate concert for cello and piano for us, in which expression and virtuosity are central. With music by Britten and Beethoven, this evening promises to be a fascinating encounter between two musical worlds. From subdued lyricism to powerful drama: the program moves through diverse spheres and contrasts.
