According to Jörg Widmann, Beethoven’s Opus 130 represents the “string quartet of string quartets.” His own Eighth and Tenth Quartets were written in response to the Viennese master’s late work, in particular its famous slow movement, titled “Cavatina.” The New York–based Juilliard String Quartet frames Widmann’s “Beethoven Studies” with their historical model, including both its traditional version and the Grosse Fuge, the work’s original finale.
The programme for the 6th Philharmonic Concert includes a world premiere that reflects our times. Jörg Widmann, who has been in close artistic contact with Kent Nagano, particularly since the great success of his ARCHE for the opening of the Elbphilharmonie, has recently written a decidedly peaceful work in view of the global wars: »Cantata in tempore belli«. Jens Harzer takes on the role of narrator. Ida Aldrian sings the alto part.

In 2013, Jörg Widmann composed his first—and to date his only—song cycle. Das heiße Herz (“The Hot Heart”) is based on the works of a wide range of authors, including Clemens Brentano, Heinrich Heine, Klabund, and Peter Härtling, as well as lesser known poems from Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Christian Immler and Andreas Frese, who have won acclaim for their collaboration on the cycle’s premiere recording, perform Widmann’s songs opposite works by Schumann and Mahler.
Jörg Widmann’s Con brio pays homage to Beethoven’s luminous and spirited penultimate symphony, which in some ways is a throwback to Mozart, whose Sinfonia Concertante is an ode to wind instruments.
In addition to his career as a celebrated soloist, violinist Christian Tetzlaff performs all over the world with his own string quartet. This guest performance in the Chamber Music Hall opens with Beethoven's late, expressive String Quartet op. 131, the beginning of which Richard Wagner called “probably the most melancholy thing that has ever been expressed in sound”. In his “Choral Quartet”, Jörg Widmann expresses “sounds and phases of futility that come from nowhere and lead nowhere,” he says. The programme concludes with Johannes Brahms' Second Quartet, which steers a lush course between melancholy and joie de vivre.
Pianist Anna Vinnitskaya owes her world career to her talent, skill, and love for music. Her teacher advised her to "play as you are." Now a professor, she happily shares her knowledge with the next generation. Vinnitskaya is offering her promising Hamburg piano students the opportunity to perform for the public in Essen.
Sie möchte am liebsten »Bilder auf dem Flügel malen«. Dafür lässt sie ihr Instrument in den obersten Tonlagen schillern und schimmern, mal kristallrein, mal sanft und milde. Anna Vinnitskaya liebt es, Geschichten in Tönen zu erzählen.Manche Dinge ergeben sich glücklicherweise wie von selbst. Die Eltern beide Pianisten, der Großvater Dirigent, ein Onkel Geiger: »Ich habe mir nie die Frage gestellt, ob ich Pianistin werden möchte.« Ein ganz natürlicher Weg, der in der Feststellung mündet, dass ein Leben ohne Konzerte für sie einfach nicht denkbar sei. Die Wahlhamburgerin Anna Vinnitskaya schwärmt gern von den vielen Möglichkeiten ihres Instruments. Mit den Klangfarben des Klaviers verführt sie uns zum genauen Hinhören.

Titled “Studies on Beethoven,” these five works offer a contemporary creative response to the works of one of the greatest composers of all time. The concert cycle concludes with the young Leonkoro Quartet perform ing Widmann’s Ninth String Quartet, which was written in 2022 as the last of the group
