Andreas Ottensamer & Yuja Wang
  • Edinburgh International Festival

Programme to include works by Weber, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Debussy, Chopin and Horowitz

Two of classical musics most charismatic, fiery talents launch The Queens Hall series in spectacular style.

The Berlin Philharmonics principal clarinettist, Andreas Ottensamer is also a deeply expressive soloist, delivering inquisitive, insightful interpretations. Chinese piano sensation Yuja Wang " who also joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic on 4 August " is one of the worlds most formidable, brilliant keyboard talents.

Their wide-ranging programme is designed to delight and astound, from the dreamlike opulence of Debussys Premire rhapsodie to the sublime brilliance of Webers Grand duo concertant, by way of Joseph Horovitzs foot-tapping, jazz-inspired Sonatina. In between, Ottensamers own arrangements of some of Mendelssohns gloriously tuneful Songs Without Words, and Vladimir Horowitzs glittering piano showpiece based on Bizets Carmen.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
