Tristan

Igor Levit (piano), Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Franz Welser-Möst
The central work on Levit's programme exploring the themes of love, death and redemption
is Hans Werner Henze's Tristan: premiered in 1974 and scored for piano, tape and orchestra,
the piece draws on Brahms's Symphony No. 1 and Chopin's Marche funèbre as well as
Wagner's opera. The recital is bookended by Liszt's Liebestraum No. 3 and 'Harmonies du
soir', and also features Ronald Stevenson's arrangement of the Adagio from Mahler's
Symphony No. 10 and Zoltán Kocsis's transcription of the Act 1 Prelude to Tristan und
Isolde.
