Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

Date & Time
Sun, May 25, 2025, 20:00
The Akademie für Alte Musik presents one of the most popular works of classical music in its original sound: Mozart's so-called ‘Great’ G minor Symphony, first performed in Vienna in 1788, is a work of passionate expression that does not shy away from harsh sounds and sombre minor tones. Ten years earlier, the composer had tried his luck in Paris in the hope of a permanent position. The French public's enthusiasm for virtuosity fuelled the establishment of the new ‘Sinfonie...

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Carlo Vistoli (Countertenor), Xenia Löffler (Oboe), Georg Kallweit (Violin)
In their first joint programme, Akamus and the up-and-coming star of the countertenor scene Carlo Vistoli dedicate themselves to key works of church music: Vivaldi set religious texts such as the psalm ‘Nisi Dominus’ to music with bittersweet sadness and operatic verve. The Venetian composer's ‘Stabat mater’, on the other hand, is one of the darkest baroque settings of the pain of Mary, the ‘Mater dolorosa’ and mother of Jesus. ‘I have had enough’ is also one of Bach's most moving cantatas.

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Voces Suaves, Georg Kallweit (Concertmaster)
In their first joint programme, Akamus and the award-winning Basel vocal ensemble Voces Suaves present musical highlights from the generation of German composers before Johann Sebastian Bach and thus the impressive musical world into which he was born. The programme includes works by the extended Bach family as well as by composers who are largely unknown today and who preceded the later Thomaskantor in his important positions in Mühlhausen, Weimar and Leipzig. From the oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach, the double-choir motet ‘Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf’ will be performed..

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.

Really old and extremely lively: For many seasons now, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin has been demonstrating how thrilling music from the 17th to the early 19th century can sound in its own series at the Konzerthaus Berlin.Bach's „St Matthew Passion“ was premiered for the second time in 1829 - in the Singakademie building in Berlin, which is now home to the Maxim Gorki Theatre. The conductor was Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, who was only twenty years old. He paved the way for a Bach renaissance with the version he arranged and shortened. In the era of Viennese Classicism, Bach's music had simply hardly ever been performed. The Passion, however, which was first presented to the congregation of St Thomas' Church in Leipzig in 1727, is one of the most haunting musical depictions of the story of the crucifixion.

One of the biggest successes in German musical theatre wasn't an opera, but Georg Anton Benda's melodrama "Medea." It combined spoken text with orchestral music and staging. The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin presents this rarity with renowned actors Meike Droste and Elias Arens. Mozart's "Haffner Symphony" serves as the overture, referencing his admiration for Benda's work and its influence on pieces like "The Abduction from the Seraglio."
