Schumann’s Fantaisie: A Love Song

Till Fellner, piano

Schubert, Drei Klavierstücke [Three Piano Pieces], D. 946 : 2nd piece (“Allegretto in E-flat major”) (approx. 11 min.)
Schumann, Fantaisie in C major, op. 17 (approx. 30 min.)

Robert Schumann composed the heart-rending Fantaisie at a time when the father of his beloved Clara Wieck had categorically turned down their marriage plans. A powerful and audacious work, and a summit of Romantic piano writing, it is performed by Till Fellner with characteristic sensitivity

Classical Spree

Classical Spree

The OSM’s Classical Spree is a major celebration of classical music presented by the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal in partnership with Place des Arts. In August of each summer, internationally established masters team up with next-generation artists to interpret the works of composers from yesterday and today.

The festival’s formula aims to be family-friendly and accessible: some thirty concerts and shows, each lasting 45 minutes, are presented at reasonable prices in various halls at Place des Arts, including the Maison symphonique. Plenty of free events are also offered in the public spaces of Place des Arts. Classical Spree was first held in 2012, and more than 200 musicians take part in the event every year. vireeclassique.osm.ca
