Popelka personally
In his official inaugural concert at the Wiener Konzerthaus, Petr Popelka brings his great composer hero with him: Béla Bartók. ‘When I open a score by Bartók, it's always a source of inspiration for me,’ says Popelka, ‘the special thing is that he composes in a highly complex way, but appeals to everyone.’ For the inaugural concert, he has chosen the Concerto for Orchestra, ‘because every instrumental group is challenged here.’ Also his choice: the exceptional Russian pianist Anna Vinnitskaya, who will play the first piano concerto by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. An inaugural concert that is particularly close to the heart of the chief conductor and the orchestra.
