"...a memorably energetic performance": Markus Groh gastierte in Washington

Markus Groh hat in den vergangenen Jahren mit zahlreichen amerikanischen Spitzenorchestern musiziert, zuletzt mit dem New York Philharmonic und dem Philadelphia Orchestra. Nun trat er am 8., 9., 10. und 11. Oktober 2009 mit dem National Symphony Orchestra of Washington auf und spielte Brahms' erstes Klavierkonzert. Dabei ersetzte er den kurzfristig erkrankten Nelson Freire.

Die "Washington Times" kommentierte am 9. Oktober 2009: "Concluding the program was the evening's big work, the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1. Opening with a series of edgy, bristling trills, it's a composition of symphonic length and ambition — a taxing work for any pianist, let alone one who flies into town to play it on short notice. Fortunately, Mr. Groh has regularly performed the concerto. He turned in a memorably energetic yet metaphysical performance Thursday evening, highlighting Brahms' strict, almost Mozartian classicism, a tradition that often battles with the composer's passionate, Romantic heart. The NSO accompanied him with a warmth and oneness that characterizes this ensemble at its best."
