Kateryna Titova fascinates the audience with her verve, emotionality, and astounding pianistic technique. In the opening concert of the Liszt Festival, the immense creative forces of Titova and the Wiener KammerOrchester unite under the electrifying direction of the Spanish maestro Francisco Navarro Lara in Franz Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1. Liszt's 1st Piano Concerto is an extraordinarily innovative work and still captivates with the intense dialogue between the solo part and the symphonic body. Liszt accompanied this concerto for almost 20 years, and we perceive the resonance of his first successful years as a piano virtuoso up to his late symphonic style. The program is clearly defined in the symphonic poem "Prometheus," in which Liszt tells us about the pains of captivity, hope, and the final triumph of the ancient hero. Beethoven's music was sacred to Liszt; he regarded his symphonies as 'orchestral divine sparks,' holding them so dear that he arranged all nine symphonies for solo piano while still a young man. With the probably most famous symphony in the classical-romantic repertoire, the so-called "Fate Symphony," Francisco Navarro Lara concludes this festive concert evening with the Wiener KammerOrchester .
