On Thursday, November 7th, 2024, from 8.30 p.m. onwards, you can listen to the concert featuring Denmark's leading orchestra, founded in 1925 with the status of a radio orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, which is based at the Copenhagen Concert Hall and has benefited over the years from the collaboration of renowned conductors. They include Jan Krenz, Herbert Blomstedt, Thomas Dausgaard, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and since 2017 it has been conducted by Fabio Luisi, whose contract has been renewed until 2026.

The orchestra is also well known for its concerts featuring outstanding soloists. Thursday evening, November 7th, will open with Franz Liszt's well-known Concerto No 1 in E flat major for piano and orchestra, with French pianist Lise de la Salle as soloist. The press reports that she "has reached such a high artistic level that it makes us believe that other interpretations are simply gone". These are the words of Pierre Gervasoni, an educator and journalist recognized for his articles on music criticism in Le Monde since 1996.

The main themes of Franz Liszt's Concerto No.1 in E flat major for piano and orchestra were discovered in the composer's sketchbook, dated 1830, when he was just nineteen. However, he finished the work much later in 1849 and made further adjustments by 1853. Liszt himself gave his first piano concerto in Weimar in 1855, with another great composer of the time, Hector Berlioz, at the helm.

In the second half of the evening on Thursday, November 7th, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra will perform Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 Op. 74 in B minor "Pathetica" under the baton of Fabio Luisi.

Tchaikovsky's works are an expression of the composer's feelings, and he himself confessed that the symphony was for him a kind of "musical confession of the soul", not accepting a music that is merely a sound game without the aim of enlightening the human being.
