Kammermusik des Konzerthausorchesters

Chamber music is one of the great joys of life for our orchestral musicians. Here they meet up with Lera Auerbach, the composer, pianist and visual artist to whom a ‘Creative Portrait’ is dedicated this season. The first piece is a composition for solo double bass. Then Lera Auerbach will play Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor, first performed in 1785, in a version with string quintet. As the orchestra plays the role of a partner to the solo instrument in this concerto far more than in earlier representatives of the genre, K. 466 is probably a particularly good choice for such an arrangement! Antonín Dvořák wrote three string quintets - but only included the double bass in the middle one from 1875, thus providing an additional foundation. Czech folk music, dreamy passages and ‘dance melodies carried by shimmering sonorities’ - anyone who loves the composer's string serenade will also like this quintet.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, William Christie

„It's the sound in particular. Nobody else has it in this way [...] . And I think it's also the way you present the music to the audience. For me, it's very important that you have very quick access to the audience.“ This is how the renowned American baroque specialist, conductor and harpsichordist William Christie describes the French ensemble Les Arts Florissants, which he has led since 1979. The Konzerthausorchester is hosting them for the first time to perform Mozart and Haydn together - the latter fits in perfectly with the orchestra's focus on Haydn's works over several seasons. The „Litaniae Lauretanae“ KV 195 from 1774 is one of four litanies or supplications that Mozart composed in Salzburg during the course of his life. The name „Lauretana“ refers to the Marian devotion reflected in it. Due to its large orchestration and virtuoso solo parts, the work is one of the „Litaniae solemnes“ that were performed in Salzburg Cathedral. Joseph Haydn's Missa in B flat major or „Harmoniemesse“ was composed in 1802 and is the last of the six great mass compositions that - alongside The Creation and The Seasons - brought his vocal works to a crowning conclusion and his last completed composition. It was given its name because of the important „harmony-filling“ role of the obbligato wind parts.

Mozarts Zauber

As a young student, Joseph Moog was offered a contract by a renowned record company but declined. Wanting to take his time, today he is considered one of the most interesting performers of his generation. He impresses not only with his virtuosity but also with his courageous and individual program designs and pianistic rarities. He's known for his passion for classics, like Mozart's popular Piano Concerto in C Major, K. 467, which will be featured with the brilliant Cassation and the g-minor Symphony.

Trio-Gipfel mit Escaich

Thierry Escaich joins the chamber music series, performing Mozart's "Kegelstatt" Trio and Schumann's "Märchenerzählungen," his own virtuoso "Trio américain," and improvisations. Mozart's trio birthed a new instrumental formation, to which Schumann responded 70 years later after hearing it with Clara. Escaich's own trio evokes echoes of bygone eras.

5th Chamber Music Concert in the Vienna State Opera

Brooklyn Rider

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.

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

Highlights from Mozart's chamber music oeuvre take centre stage in this concert by the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and its wind soloists Xenia Löffler and Erwin Wieringa. Mozart's works for wind instruments are indebted to his friendships with great contemporary virtuosos: when he wrote his horn concertos and his masterful horn quintet (the latter a concerto in miniature, so to speak), the composer had Joseph Leutgeb's phenomenal playing in his ear. His only chamber music work with solo oboe was dedicated to his friend Friedrich Ramm. The member of the famous Mannheim court orchestra performed the premiere in 1781.

Simply Quartet

The Simply Quartet, founded in China, trained in Madrid among other places, and based in Vienna, always aims high. As former ECHO Rising Stars, the ensemble returns to Cologne. The quartet continually seeks deeper musical understanding. The name, inspired by a Shanghai restaurant, reflects their diverse backgrounds.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Emanuel Ax / Alan Gilbert

Since Alan Gilbert has been chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the American grand seigneur of the keyboard Emanuel Ax has returned to Hamburg with regularity. Together, the two take on one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous piano concertos: the one in D minor, K. 466. Its dark key and correspondingly dramatic gesture alone make it stand out from the composer’s piano concertos, which are usually in major keys – this is the Mozart of »Don Giovanni« and the Requiem! But the central island of tranquillity of the »Romance« with its catchy melody also enjoyed great popularity early on.

Tschechische Symphoniker Prag / Coro di Praga / Martin Peschík

The 5th Symphony, the »Symphony of Fate«, by Ludwig van Beethoven is perhaps the most famous symphony in music history, and not just because of the first four notes – about which Beethoven himself is said to have said, »Thus fate knocks at the door.« In the midst of the turmoil of war, revolution and personal crises, Beethoven wrote a work that revolutionised the entire world of music. His musical journey from minor to major, from darkness to light, inspired all future generations of composers.
