American conductor Karina Canellakis and Lars Vogt with a recently rediscovered Stravinsky work, a parade piano concerto by Beethoven and the gripping »Concerto for Orchestra« by Bartók. »At the beginning, I try to just listen to the orchestra. For the first ten or fifteen minutes I try not to speak and pretend very little. It's about getting to know each other. Conducting is listening first.« – This is how Karina Canellakis describes the situation on the podium of an orchestra that is new to her. Here, the New York-born conductor will make her debut with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, among others with Béla Bartók's »Concerto for Orchestra« – a work that is considered a real touchstone for every orchestra and also for the interaction between orchestra conductor and musicians. But Karina Canellakis, encouraged by Sir Simon Rattle to take up the baton, is used to making her debut on the podium – after all, she belongs to the generation of female conductors who have been invited more and more regularly by the major US and European orchestras since the 2010s. Playing the piano is also listening, or at least that is what the reflected, completely unpretentious playing of Lars Vogt, this great German pianist, suggests. Listening, listening within: »I am only interested in the composers who move my soul,« says Lars Vogt, who will present Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto in this hr-Sinfoniekonzert.
