Participants

The concert places Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, “From the New World” — the Slavic composer’s most famous work — at the centre of the programme.

It also reveals, through Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Concert Fantasy from The Golden Cockerel, Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane, and A. S. Spienelli’s Romano Dives, the many ways in which musical influences from Roma and Sinti culture have left their mark on the classical orchestral repertoire.

GRAND­PRIX­KONZERT
15. Internationaler Deutscher Pianistenpreis 2026

Programme

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)
Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37

This work calls for a finely nuanced touch, stylistic clarity and a sense of balance between formal rigour and inner drama. With musical maturity and attentive interplay, Beethoven’s sound world unfolds with compelling presence.

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18

This composition demands tonal breadth, sweeping arcs of tension and the ability to combine virtuosity with deep emotion. In radiant sonority and lyrical intensity, his music unfolds with moving expressive power.
