Tom Borrow

Imagine being called to replace a colleague, not just anyone, but the pianist Khatia Buniatishvili. At the last minute, with 36 hours left before the concert... Tom Borrow said yes, and played Ravel's virtuoso Piano Concerto in G with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. Borrow proved himself as a concert pianist at the age of eighteen. He was named BBC New Generation Artist 2021-2023. He can count Murray Perahia among his mentors. Today Tom Borrow is our guest in the Kleine Zaal for the second time.

Robert Schumann

The young Schumann was more of a dreamer than a doer, although he had written a series of entirely original piano works. One of these, the Fantasie , Op. 17 of 1838, dedicated to Liszt, was called by Robert in a letter to Clara "a lament for you." Two years later, Clara came of age and they were married. Franz Liszt never performed the Fantasie in public; he did, however, go through it with his students. Clara herself did not play the Fantasie until after Robert's death.
