Watch This Space: Kirill Gerstein & HK Gruber

In the organizer's words:

Time travel to the 1920s

The Austrian composer, conductor and chansonnier HK Gruber and the American pianist Kirill Gerstein combine their wonderfully free-swinging forces for a program that harks back to Berlin in the 1920s, when the First World War was over, the lights were dim and the cabaret was in full swing.

Gruber (incidentally a descendant of the Silent Night composer Franz Xaver Gruber) is undisputedly one of the greatest living interpreters of this style. His artistic role models: Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler, who he says made his career as a composer possible in the first place. And Gerstein? Lets the infectious melodies and sometimes bitter texts of Bertolt Brecht shine with his lively, dancing piano playing.

Works by Schönberg and Weill. HK Gruber, Kirill Gerstein and members of the BRSO.
