Liszt in its boldest form: Aurelia Vișovan ignites the Rococo Hall
When Aurelia Vișovan performs on June 9, 2026, at the Steingraeber & Söhne House in Bayreuth, historical performance practice meets top-tier pianistic technique. In the Rococo Hall, Franz Liszt's 12 Grandes Études S.137 from 1837 will be played on the Liszt piano – a work that even in its early form anticipates the later thrill of the famous Études d'exécution transcendante. The evening promises a focused concert experience with an intense live atmosphere, clear sound, and that electrifying audience vibe for which Bayreuth's music venues are known.
Virtuosity with historical profile
Aurelia Vișovan is regarded as an expressive specialist in historical keyboard instruments and has already recorded the Liszt cycle on CD. This is precisely where the special authority of this evening lies: This is not just a mere repertoire presentation but an interpretative encounter with Liszt’s early ideas laboratory. The large arcs, the dazzling runs, and the orchestral power of the piano unfold in the Rococo Hall a proximity that only hints at how immediate this music is in the space on the studio recording.
The Liszt piano as a sounding stage
The Rococo Hall at the Steingraeber House is still preserved in its original form and equipped with the famous Liszt piano. The historical ambiance enhances the tension between architecture and sound: wood, spatial depth, and fine resonance carry the music with almost chamber music precision. For visitors, this creates a concert evening that is not just heard but experienced – with every dynamic nuance, every touch, and every shimmering tone color.
Bayreuth’s traditional venue for great piano art
Steingraeber & Söhne has shaped the musical identity of the house on Friedrichstraße for decades. The Rococo Hall is located in the historical center of Bayreuth and is accessible by elevator. With its 55 seats and additional side rooms, it offers the ideal proximity for a highly virtuosic solo program, where no note is lost in the room. For those who want to experience Bayreuth's cultural tradition beyond opera, this venue is one of the region's most characterful concert locations.
Why this evening is particularly appealing
Liszt's early études combine fire, a sense of form, and technical boundary experiences. This is precisely what makes the charm of this program: It is a glimpse into the workshop of a genius, played by a pianist who operates at the highest technical level and in a historical reading. For the audience, an intense live concert emerges that appeals to connoisseurs, Liszt fans, and lovers of exceptional piano evenings alike.
Conclusion: On June 9, 2026, you can expect a rare Liszt program in one of the most beautiful historical halls of the city in Bayreuth. Aurelia Vișovan, the Liszt piano, and the Rococo Hall create a combination that should not only be announced but experienced live.
