THE Irish Chamber Orchestra with Kristian Bezuidenhout Director/Piano perform at University Concert Hall this Wednesday April 19 at 7.30pm.
Bezuidenhout is a renowned Mozart enthusiast having recorded a large volume of the composer’s music. ‘’Mozart retains for me the rhetoric of melody and rhythm. The mastery of melody especially I just find absolutely staggering’’ he says.
Bezuidenhout will showcase two of Mozart’s finest piano concertos. His imaginative Piano Concerto No. 18, written for the blind virtuoso Maria Theresia Paradis, demonstrates a thrilling chemistry between instruments. Mozart’s sublime and ground-breaking Concerto No. 25 paves the way for incredible diversity, originality and is an absolute joy. It is one of his finest works.
