Die traditionsreiche Konzertreihe der Odenwaldstadt Erbach feiert Jubiläum und das hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt feiert mit einem Kammerkonzert der Extra-Klasse mit. Großbesetzte Bläser-Kammermusik ist im Konzertleben rar. Bedauerlich besonders, wenn man an so eindrucksvolle Werke wie das »Parthia«-Oktett des jungen Beethoven und Dvořáks große Serenade denkt. Im »Jubiläumskonzert – 70 Jahre Konzerte in der Elfenbeinstadt Erbach« sind beide zu genießen – in all ihrer Klangfülle, Virtuosität und Pracht. Und dies mit den hervorragenden Musikerinnen und Musikern des hr-Sinfonieorchesters Frankfurt. Eine Gelegenheit die es nur selten gibt.
Must we still talk about it? About the role of women in society, at work and in music? Absolutely! Equality between men and women may be the law, but not yet the reality everywhere. There is hardly a better opportunity to talk about it than on International Women's Day. The Bremen Philharmonic dedicates itself to the topic with Konstantia Gourzi, one of today's most distinguished conductors and composers, who will discuss the self-image, importance, and visibility of women in music with director Guido Gärtner and conductor Hansjörg Albrecht.
Gustav Mahler's 5th Symphony starts with a four-note motif, resembling Beethoven's 5th. Reflecting the era's upheaval, the symphony features stark contrasts, from somber marches to triumphant brass chorales. Mahler's focus on polyphony weaves through the composition. He considered it a "completely new style," possibly influenced by his love for and marriage to Alma Schindler in 1902. The 'Adagietto,' seen as a declaration of love to Alma, gained fame, notably through Visconti's 'Death in Venice.' The junge orchester NRW celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
A concert workshop in Freiburg's E-Werk will feature conductor Oscar Jockel explaining Pierre Boulez's "Polyphonie X" with the SWR Symphony Orchestra. This piece, a scandal at its 1951 premiere, connects Boulez's early and later styles. Following the analysis and full performance, the concert includes Webern's arrangement of Bach's "Fuga Ricerata" and Webern's Symphony Op. 21, highlighting polyphony and musical development, both crucial to Boulez's work. A second performance of "Polyphonie X" concludes the evening.
