Classical Summer Concert: Katrine Gislinge: Fantasies
Sunday 17 August 12.00-1.00 pm
Once again, the Classical Summer Concerts are delighted to present a range of world-class musicians, performing amongst the Roman gods and heroes in the Glyptotek’s atmospheric Central Hall.
"I have always been fascinated by the sound of a piano from afar, and several times I have walked through the darkness of the city – in the evening and at night – and have stopped at the sound of a piano coming out of a window..."
These are composer Bent Sørensen’s words about the inspiration for his 12 nocturnes written for his wife's instrument. Pianist Katrine Gislinge is among the finest Danish piano soloists, and she often plays works composed by her husband. Here she plays two of his most magical works for piano with music by two of the greatest piano composers in music history; Schumann, who also wrote many of his works with his own pianist wife, Clara, in mind, and Chopin, who like no other manages to make the piano tell and sing.
