Hear Javier Perianes in the intimate world of chamber music, joined by string principals from the NZSO for Schumann’s magnificent Piano Quintet.
From its bold opening chords, the work brims with passion, momentum and generous melody, placing the piano and strings in a thrilling conversation between concerto-like brilliance and close-knit ensemble playing. A lyrical second movement gives way to a dramatic funeral march, a dazzling scherzo and a finale that gathers the work’s ideas into an exhilarating conclusion.
Celebrated for his poetic poise, magnificent phrasing and understated virtuosity, Perianes is the ideal guide to Schumann’s mercurial imagination. This special Musicians’ Series performance offers Christchurch audiences a rare chance to experience an internationally acclaimed soloist at close quarters, collaborating with some of Aotearoa’s finest orchestral musicians.
