Much is still not the same as before Corona, but the silence has broken: On Saturday, a concert was held in the district for the first time in seven months.
In the Tegernsee baroque hall, pianist Hyelee Kang gave a celebrated Chopin evening.
Tegernsee
- The appearance was sold out for corona conditions: 58 visitors fit into the baroque hall in compliance with the distance rules - normally there are 200. After the latest easing due to the incidence in the district, which has fallen below 50, visitors did not have to bring a current negative corona test.
“It was a good atmosphere and the people who were there were enthusiastic,” says Angelika Wißmüller, artistic director of the concert series. Nevertheless, she still has the feeling that after the long cultural break you have to lure the audience out of lockdown mode: The additional date a few hours before the regular concert, which was scheduled when it was clear that the seats were booked, only took place on a very small scale with a handful of paying visitors. Bitter for the Freundeskreis insofar as the ticket sales should of course cover the costs.
Nevertheless, Wißmüller does not want to complain, because the audience, which was not so numerous compared to pre-pandemic times, enjoyed the return to social life to the fullest: "It was great that you can see each other again and talk to each other." The audience met early, the hallways of the high school filled long before the concert began. Despite the masks and distance rules, you could feel the hopeful atmosphere. And this as part of a performance by a young pianist who is a brilliant technician and “plays like the devil”, as Wißmüller praises.
The Korean pianist Hyelee Kang, born in 1993, has been studying for a master’s degree at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy University of Music and Theater in Leipzig with Professor Gerald Fauth, who has been associated with the Freundeskreis for decades; the friends' association also financially supports the young artist, who will be in the preselection for the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw in mid-July.
Hyelee Kang's Chopin program rose from the “smaller” piano works to the larger works by the Polish master. In the opening C minor Nocturne Opus 48 No. 1, she led the ballad-like character, which rose in tension, to the final eruptive passion of the last section, the last sounds like vanishing smoke. Hyelee Kang took the following mazurkas opus 59.2 and 24.2 sensitively and light-footed, slender and vocal the compositionally mature A flat major dance, tenderly and with flying grace the playful lively Mazurka in C major. In the Sonata in B minor Opus 58, Hyelee Kang found a cultivated variety of interpretative depth and passion, savoring the lyrical themes in their beguiling beauty.
Repeated long applause, Hyelee Kang rewarded with two encores.
An exciting evening that hopefully many more will follow.
