Klosters Music 2024 – HEIMATSTOLZ

Jean Sibelius is a national treasure in Finland. In his colourful “Karelia” suite, the composer describes an area in the south-east of the country where he spent his honeymoon. A folkloristic march meets a melancholy ballad. Edvard Grieg also shows pride in his homeland in his piano concerto, as in the finale, its rhythm inspired by the Norwegian jumping dance Halling. Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki, exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, is the perfect choice to unleash this energy with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen under Maxim Emelyanychev. With works by Edward Elgar, Pyotr Tchaikovsky and Richard Wagner, other musical homelands can also be experienced. Wagner’s lyrical “Siegfried Idyll” was even composed in Tribschen on Lake Lucerne.
