Pre-concert talk with Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rathert at 7 p.m. in the Tellenhaus, Ernen.
In her recital program, Shio Okui, a pianist trained in Moscow, among other places, demonstrates her affinity for early 20th-century Russian music. Shimmering piano sounds, rich harmonies, and powerful emotions characterize the works of Scriabin and Rachmaninoff.
The two introductory pieces by the French composer Mel Bonis complement them beautifully. The 1897 portrait of Phoebe, the bright and pure sister of the sun god Phoebus, who symbolizes the moon as well as the cool side of femininity and chastity, evokes a mysterious and timeless aftertaste. In contrast, the somewhat later portrait of the ideal seductress Salome also plays with Orientalist influences, which were fashionable in Russia at the time.
