Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Christiane Karg

Date & Time
Sun, Jan 12, 2025, 17:00
Love is one of those things: on the one hand, it is the most beautiful thing in the world, heaven on earth, the fulfilment of all our longings. Yet it is also often complicated, sometimes even exhausting – and unfortunately often the cause of great sorrow. Love is also the central theme of our internationally sought-after guest conductor's wonderful wish list for his programme in Bamberg: the native of Colombia, who will be Cologne’s new General Music Director from 2025,...

Andrés Orozco-Estrada, Christiane Karg

Love is one of those things: on the one hand, it is the most beautiful thing in the world, heaven on earth, the fulfilment of all our longings. Yet it is also often complicated, sometimes even exhausting – and unfortunately often the cause of great sorrow. Love is also the central theme of our internationally sought-after guest conductor's wonderful wish list for his programme in Bamberg: the native of Colombia, who will be Cologne’s new General Music Director from 2025, brings plenty of South American temperament and charisma to the stage in his performances. Andrés Orozco-Estrada wanted to become a musician from an early age – even though he pursued a second vocation for football for some time, seeing himself as a kind of »conducting goalkeeper«. In any case, »dealing with people« was and remains important to him to this day. In addition to works from his home country, the Viennese classical and modern periods, he is particularly fond of the romantic repertoire. And one hobbyhorse he likes to ride from the conductor's podium is the downright musical frenzy of the »Symphonie fantastique«, which revolves around the love of an artist for an unattainable actress. Debussy’s Faun is not really happy either, as the sensual piece only indulges in memories of beautiful nymphs. Christiane Karg interprets Mahler’s at times world-wearisome »Rückert-Lieder« – where at one point it says: »I live alone in my heaven, in my love, in my song!« Highly emotional pieces full of highs and lows perfectly suited to Andrés Orozco-Estrada – who, together with the orchestra musicians, always wants to »bring out every little detail«, but »ultimately wants to go about his work not only with a lot of intelligence, but also with a lot of heart«.

Andrés Orozco-Estrada

Thu, Apr 7, 2022, 20:00
Herkulessaal (München)
Andrés Orozco-Estrada (Conductor), Renaud Capuçon (Violin), Daniel Müller-Schott (Cello), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Andrés Orozco-Estrada, the principal conductor of the Vienna Symphony, has already performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the BRSO. Now his programme includes Brahms’s Double Concerto. The special form of a concerto for multiple soloists seems to be at once a challenge and a matter close to his heart. Violinist Renaud Capuçon and cellist Daniel Müller-Schott are the protagonists in Brahms’s “work of reconciliation”. Originally conceived as a cello concerto, Brahms later gave his Op. 102 a part for solo violin, hoping it would help him to re-establish contact with the famous violinist Joseph Joachim. For years the two men had fallen out after Brahms took sides with Joachim’s wife during a marital rift. The concerto was meant to revive the deep friendship the two men had enjoyed for many years. Orozco-Estrada will also conduct Bartók’s suite from The Miraculous Mandarin (1928) and Blacher’s Paganini Variations (1947).

Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Christiane Karg (Soprano), Håkan Hardenberger (Trumpet), Concertgebouworkest, Andris Nelsons (Conductor)
Engelsgleiche Klänge: Christiane Karg stimmt am Ende von Gustav Mahlers vierter Sinfonie ein glockenhelles Sopransolo über das »Himmlische Leben« an und Håkan Hardenberger macht sich, virtuos auf der Trompete singend, auf die Suche nach dem Paradies:Towards Paradise („»Dem Paradies entgegen«) überschrieb Jörg Widmann sein um die Schönheit ringendes Trompetenkonzert, das dessen umjubelter Uraufführungsinterpret Hardenberger zum Leuchten bringt. Und Andris Nelsons, der das weite Werk 2021 als Dirigent aus der Taufe hob, lotet es nun mit dem klangprächtigen Concertgebouworkest aus. Diesem Orchester mit großer Gustav-Mahler-Tradition eignet ein besonderer Zugang zu dessen unheimlich lichten, zauberhaft-ironisch ausklingenden vierten Sinfonie.​ ​Gefördert vom Kuratorium KölnMusik e.V.
