Overview

With Igor Levit, symphonic repertoire meets Brahmsian intimacy.

The press and audiences alike rave about every appearance by the young German-Russian pianist Igor Levit, who is now a member of the international keyboard elite. Although he is in step with the times (he is extremely active on social media and busy with civic engagements), he is an artist who prefers depth to undue haste. Although his personal passion is the German repertoire (he is performing Brahms’ Concerto No. 2 with the Wiener Philharmoniker at the start of the season), Bach, and the Viennese classicism of Beethoven which have made his name, he is not averse to pursuing less well-trodden paths as is the case in this recital. He will perform two piano arrangements of hits from the symphonic repertoire: the Adagio from Mahler’s Symphony No. 10 and Beethoven’s Third. But he also returns to his roots with Klavierstücke from Brahms’ opus 119, the musician’s “lullabies of my suffering” and his last compositions for piano.

Venue Info

Théâtre des Champs-Elysées - Paris
15 Avenue Montaigne

The Théâtre des Champs-Élysées is an entertainment venue situated near Avenue des Champs-Élysées, from which it takes its name. Its eponymous main hall may seat up to 1,905 people.

Commissioned by impresario Gabriel Astruc, the theatre was built from 1911 to 1913 upon the designs of brothers Auguste Perret and Gustave Perret following a scheme by Henry van de Velde, and became the first example of Art Deco architecture in the city. Less than two months after its inauguration, the Théâtre hosted the world premiere of the Ballets Russes' Rite of Spring, which provoked one of the most famous classical music riots.

At present, the theatre shows about three staged opera productions a year, mostly baroque or chamber works more suited to the modest size of its stage and orchestra pit. It also houses an important concert season. It is the home venue of the Orchestre National de France and the Orchestre Lamoureux and serves as a French base for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra as well.

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and Ensemble orchestral de Paris play most of their concerts here too, along with other dance, chamber music, recital, and pop events.
