These concerts with works by Arvo Pärt became visible lately at ConcertPulse.
This concert evening spans an arc from instrumental attractions to the musical manifestation of affection. In his »Serenata notturna«, for example, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart surprises with the use of timpani in contrast to a solo string quartet and the string orchestra. A real highlight with which Mozart jokingly delighted aristocratic society during the exuberant Salzburg carnival of 1767.
Concerts in season 2024/25 or later where works by Arvo Pärt is performed
Víkingur Ólafsson’s thing is to engage intensively with a work or a composer. After his fascinating world tour with Bach’s Goldberg Variations last season, the Icelandic pianist returns as soloist with Schumann’s Piano Concerto. As a lively addition, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich contributes his »Rhenish« Symphony – a showpiece for the Swiss orchestra and its energetic chief conductor Paavo Järvi. You can hear in the cheerfully flowing sounds of this symphony the motivational boost that the move from Leipzig to Düsseldorf on the Rhine meant for the composer.
Víkingur Ólafsson performs Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2, showcasing his virtuosity, while Paavo Järvi conducts the Tonhalle Orchestra through Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony. Inspired by Cologne Cathedral, Schumann's symphony reflects the motivational boost from his move to the Rhine, offering a perfect piece for Järvi's energetic conducting and Ólafsson's masterful solo.
The New York-based string quartet Brooklyn Rider has been attracting a wide audience since its inception in 2005 with concerts that often cross genres. They visited Konserthuset for a highly acclaimed concert in 2014 and also performed at Fotografiska. All in line with the ensemble's desire to break away from the traditional and familiar.During their eagerly awaited return to Konserthuset, the programme ranges from British Baroque to French Betsy Jolas's third string quartet from 1973, which, in nine parts, explores the mysterious universe of music. A completely different character is found in Mozart's String Quartet in C Major, often called the Dissonant Quartet due to its long and striking introduction, which today we do not find particularly dissonant.After Arvo Pärt's meditative Solfeggio, Brooklyn Rider concludes with Brahms's wonderful first string quartet with its remarkable coherence. The opening and closing movements are characterized by a delightful and fervent temperament, with tender and luminous music in between.
Växjö-based Musica Vitae joins us accompanied by the British violinist and conductor Hugo Ticciati, who is active in Sweden. He founded the O/Modernt festival in 2011, known for its innovative and cross-genre programming, which also characterizes his concert with Musica Vitae.The first part of the concert presents music infused with religious reverie. We hear the mysticism of Hildegard of Bingen in Vos flores rosarum and wordless violin song in Arvo Pärt's Fratres. Additionally, two meditations on the theme of the suffering mother: John Tavener's Mother of God, Here I Stand from The Veil of the Temple, and Lera Auerbach's Sogno di Stabat Mater (Dream of Stabat Mater). After the interval, the mood shifts from spiritual contemplation to exalted rapture. In the enigmatically dancing Aksak and Ciphers, Swedish composer Albert Schnelzer has encoded both Brahms and family members in the score. This is followed by a musical dialogue between Philip Glass's baroque-inspired Symphony No. 3 and three arrangements of songs from the iconic grunge rock band Nirvana's album Nevermind. Bridging the gap between the baroque and contemporary rock music is Purcell’s Cold Song from his semi-opera The Fairy-Queen.
"The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter" is Japan's oldest romantic tale, dating back to 900 AD. A bamboo cutter finds and raises a moon-sent child, Kaguya. Despite attracting suitors, Kaguya is a moon princess and must return. Choreographer Martin Chaix explores this legend in "The Moon Princess," portraying themes of family, belonging, and obligation.
"Die Geschichte des Bambussammlers oder der Prinzessin Kaguya" ist die älteste märchenhaft-romantische Erzählung Japans und geht auf das Jahr 900 zurück. Bei seiner Arbeit entdeckt ein kinderloser Bambussammler ein Findelkind, das er gemeinsam mit seiner Frau wie sein eigenes Kind großzieht. Das strahlend schöne Kind ist als Geschenk des Mondes auf die Erde geschickt worden, und auch wenn ihre Schönheit mächtige Männer als Brautbewerber auf den Plan ruft: Kaguya ist die Prinzessin des Mondes und muss dorthin zurückkehren. Der französische Choreograph Martin Chaix ist kein Unbekannter in Leipzig. Von 2006 bis 2009 war er als Solist am Leipziger Ballett unter Paul Chalmer engagiert. Seit 2015 arbeitet er als freischaffender Choreograph für internationale renommierte Ensembles wie das Ballet de l'Ope?ra national du Rhin, das Ballet de l'Ope?ra national de Paris oder das Ballett am Rhein, Düsseldorf. Seine präzise, emotionale und hochmusikalische Bewegungssprache lebt von einer tiefen Menschlichkeit. Für "Die Mondprinzessin" erkundet Martin Chaix den Reichtum der japanischen Legende und erzählt eine Geschichte von Familie und Heimat, von Zugehörigkeit und Verpflichtungen in einer herausfordernden Welt.
