Piano Summer 2025
- Klavierduo Gülru Ensari und Herbert Schuch
- Gülru Ensari, piano
- Herbert Schuch, piano
Combining different things and making them resonate can not only be the story of a German-Turkish duo with Iranian, Arabic and Romanian roots, but also a door opener for fulfilling musical endeavours. Gülru Ensari and Herbert Schuch are pursuing their solo careers and have repeatedly taken on special projects as a duo. The arrangements of J.S. Bach's music for two pianos by György Kúrtag are just as exciting as the realisation of Ravel's 'La Valse' and Beethoven's ‘Great Fugue’. After one of the duo's concerts, none other than Alfred Brendel commented with his inimitable humour: 'They play like siblings, and I don't mean that in a negative way'.
The two Steinway grand pianos in the Beethoven-Haus are brought to life in a particularly charming way in this concert.
- Bach/Kurtag, Musik für zwei Klaviere
- Ludwig van Beethoven, Große Fuge für Klavier zu vier Händen op. 134
- Maurice Ravel, "La Valse" in einer Fassung für zwei Klaviere
