Led by conductor Anthony Fournier, the Geneva Symphony Orchestra accompanies pianist Lan Anh Nguyen in a programme that juxtaposes Grieg’s passionate Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, with Brahms’s monumental Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68. The evening charts a journey from intimate lyricism to thunderous orchestral climaxes, highlighting delicate solo passages, dense Romantic textures and dramatic dynamic contrasts. Listeners are drawn into a vivid sound world where clarity of phrasing meets muscular orchestral power.
