Mozart: Great Mass in C minor / Jordi Savall

Tue, Jan 28, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Le Concert des Nations, La Capella Nacional de Catalunya, Giulia Bolcato (Soprano), Elionor Martínez (Soprano), Lara Morger (Mezzo-Soprano), David Fischer (Tenor), Matthias Winckhler (Bass), Jordi Savall (Conductor)

It is considered one of the great unfinished works in the history of music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s »Great Mass« in C minor. He probably composed it following his wedding to singer Constanze Weber; unlike with his Requiem, at least Mozart’s death did not prevent the completion of the mass. Although remaining fragmentary, this outstanding mass setting is touching to this day due to its direct expressive power. With his Le Concert des Nations established in 1989, Catalan gambist, music researcher and conductor Jordi Savall had already often been a guest in Hamburg. As an expert in early music and historical performance practice, he consistently gives the audience new listening experiences – in particular with frequently played works. Because Savall is not only interested in music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, but he also elicits new aspects from the seemingly well-known classics. The ensemble and its conductor recently demonstrated this in 2021, for instance, with their Beethoven cycle; now, they tackle Mozart’s »Great Mass«.

Tango mass

Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)

Iris Geißler (Management), Gabriela Vermelho (Mezzo-Soprano), Jakub Jedlinský (Bandoneon), Kateřina Ochmanová (Piano), Philharmonischer Chor Dresden, Philharmonisches Kammerorchester

Choir and tango? And even a liturgical text together with the most sensual of all dances, how does that fit together? Very well, as you can hear in this concert. In fact, it is a concert of discoveries. Because when do you ever hear a bandoneon in a concert hall? The sister of the accordion was invented in Chemnitz and began its triumphal march when the bandoneon made its entrance into South American tango orchestras at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, it has become indispensable and in Argentina it is praised as "the best German invention". String orchestra, bandoneon, piano, and our Philharmonic Choir - let yourself be carried away into a musical world full of passion, pride, and sensuality!

IN FARAWAY PLACES - REDISCOVERING MOZART'S MUSIC Culture is meaningful. Culture not only keeps us busy - and thus structures our everyday lives - it seems to give us existential stability above all. Making music, together or alone, is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted rituals in our collective identity. Music still serves as a human compass today. Nevertheless, it does no harm to put ritualized processes to the test: In the music theater project The Great Silence, the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart becomes existentially relevant for a group of people living in the future and far away from the earth. For them, unknown works by one of the most famous composers become both a daily reminder and a warning of what it means to be and remain human. Director Christopher Rüping, who is highly regarded and celebrated at home and abroad for his acting work and has been awarded the most important theater prizes, and his team make their long-awaited debut on the main stage of the Hamburg State Opera. They explore the question of what role and function such a timeless cultural asset as Mozart's music has for us and, in this music theater project, create the scenario of a remote world whose setting has little to do with our present-day reality. But man is the constant that has hardly changed fundamentally. What does Mozart's music trigger in us? How do people react to unexpected threats, how do they react to a real opportunity? And what happens when things go quiet after all? Musical direction: Omer Meir Wellber, Tohar Gil (26.3., 2.4.)
