Auckland Philharmonia presents:
Beethoven Piano Concerto No.4
Bartók The Wooden Prince (complete ballet)
With conductor, Karl-Heinz Steffens, and 17-year-old Canadian pianist, Sophia Liu, making her Australasian debut. Also musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music.
The Beethoven concerto begins with the piano ruminating alone but soon broadens out into one of his most genial works.
In The Wooden Prince, a fairy enchants a stream so a prince cannot cross it to see his princess; he wins her with a wooden model of himself. This piece features two harps.
