Piano Art in the Johannissaal: Nymphenburg-Classical a la Mozart
On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Johannissaal in Nymphenburg Palace transforms into an intimate concert hall for a one-hour piano matinee. At Nymphenburg-Classical a la Mozart, historical atmosphere combines with virtuosic piano music – interpreted by the residence soloist András Lakatos.
Fantasies between Romanticism and Classicism
The program takes the audience through impressive sound worlds of Robert Schumann, Alexander Scriabin, Frédéric Chopin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Franz Liszt. Schumann's Fantasy in C major op. 17 opens the musical arc, followed by Scriabin's Fantasy in B minor op. 28 and Chopin's Fantasy-Impromptu in C-sharp minor op. 66, shining between lyrical finesse and piano brilliance.
Mozart's Historical Trace in the Palace
This concert series pays homage to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who performed in Nymphenburg Palace at the age of seven with his sister Nannerl before Elector Maximilian III. This historical connection gives the matinee its special character: Mozart's Fantasy in D minor KV 397 meets works from the great piano literature, making music history immediately tangible.
András Lakatos at the Piano
Residence soloist András Lakatos shapes the matinee with technical precision, differentiated dynamics, and tonal depth. The finale features Franz Liszt's Après une lecture du Dante: Fantasia quasi Sonata S. 161/7 – a work of dramatic force, poetic tension, and great piano virtuosity.
Concert Experience in the Johannissaal
The intimate acoustics of the Johannissaal focus entirely on the piano and the stage performance. Every nuance of touch, every rhythmic synchronization, and every twist of musical orchestration unfolds immediately in the space. This creates a concentrated live atmosphere in which classical music appears close, transparent, and intense.
Conclusion: A Matinee Full of Musical Contrasts
Nymphenburg-Classical a la Mozart promises an extraordinary concert experience for lovers of piano music and all who wish to discover classical music in a historical setting. Anyone wanting to experience Schumann, Scriabin, Chopin, Mozart, and Liszt in an atmospheric castle backdrop should not miss this matinee in the Johannissaal.
