From the organizer:

In the 6th piano recital titled “Tempest” of the special piano concert cycle “The journey of endless creativity”, we aim to bring to you a theme closely associated with the character of the musical genius Ludwig van Beethoven. Each of us encounters challenges at every stage of life. Stress, anger, or intense emotions are perhaps common ways to release tension in solving life’s issues. In nature, the image of storms often evokes the strongest emotions for each of us.

However, not everyone experiencing or observing this magnificent phenomenon has the same perspective or feeling. With his piano sonatas, the great Ludwig van Beethoven arguably created storms himself many times and played both the role of experiencer and observer. With a selection including Sonata No. 10 (Op. 14 No. 2), No. 17 (Op. 31 No. 2), No. 25 (Op. 79), and No. 31 (Op. 110), pianist Nguyen Duc Anh also wishes the audience to have their own unique experiences and perceptions of the storm in this piano recital, ranging from fresh, exhilarating moments to the tremors of nature, and even witness the author’s introspection on fate.

With the 6th Piano Recital out of 9 comprising the complete performance of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas, the Saigon Classical Group, Arietta Vietnam, and pianist Nguyen Duc Anh are honored to create a fresh musical experience on an emotionally rich theme for all classical music enthusiasts.
