About this concert
Dieses Programm hat es in sich! Der aus Istanbul stammende Pianist Hüseyin Sermet spielt beim SHMF nicht nur Franz Liszts anspruchsvolle h-Moll-Sonate, sondern etwa auch die »Petites Fantaisies« des französischen Komponisten Charles- Valentin Alkan. Dessen aberwitzig virtuose Werke jagten selbst dem Tastenlöwen Liszt Angst ein, doch Sermet kann selbstbewusst aufs Ganze gehen – er wurde schließlich für seine Einspielungen der Kompositionen von Liszt und Alkan mehrfach ausgezeichnet. Und seine virtuose wie feinsinnig und poetisch gestaltete Version der h-Moll-Sonate zählt in Fachkreisen zu den weltweit besten Interpretationen dieses Werks. So wie Liszts mitreißende Sonate in ihrer großen Freiheit und dem Spiel mit den traditionellen Strukturprinzipien die Grenzen zur Gattung Fantasie sprengt, bewegt sich auch Felix Mendelssohns zuvor erklingende (so betitelte) »Fantasie« op. 28 zwischen diesen Polen und schafft farbenprächtige Klanggemälde. Lassen Sie sich mitnehmen in eine Welt der betörenden Tastenträume und fantastischen Pianistik!
