Wed, Aug 20, 2025, 20:00
The world beyond the Arctic Circle is a realm like no other – vast expanses, majestic mountains and crystal-clear fjords define its breathtaking beauty. The Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing has captured these landscapes in music, performing alongside the Arctic Philharmonic, the world’s northernmost professional orchestra. Their programme combines Nordic classics from composers like Grieg and Rautavaara with specially commissioned pieces by film composers including Frode Fjellheim (title song to »Frozen«) and Jacob Shea (»Planet Earth II«).

Old meets new and the familiar meets the strange and fairytale-like in the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra’s 2nd Academy Concert, when the propulsive, youthful freshness of the just-turned-seventeen Mozart meets the relatively unknown Romantic sound of Hamburg-born Ferdinand David. Things take an atmospheric turn with Ralph Vaughan Williams, whose music is a resounding reflection of his origins and homeland in England. Just like Edvard Grieg’s »Peer Gynt« from Norway.

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra (Orchestra), Christoph Gedschold (Conductor)
The Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Christoph Gedschold, presents a profound programme: Haydn’s »Farewell Symphony« and Wagner’s »Prelude« and »Liebestod« from »Tristan und Isolde« reveal a close relationship in terms of content, as death and farewell are fundamentally related. Schumann’s 2nd Symphony is diametrically opposed to this, even though this work was composed during a period of deep crisis in the composer’s life.

Der britische Shooting-Star Sheku Kanneh-Mason präsentiert sich mit Saint-Saëns’ elegantem Cellokonzert an der Seite des London Philharmonic Orchestra mit Chefdirigent Edward Gardner.Seine beispiellose Karriere nahm ihren Lauf, als er erst als Überraschungssieger aus der Fernsehshow »Britain’s Got Talent« hervorging und schließlich bei der royalen Hochzeit von Prinz Harry und Meghan Markle ein Millionenpublikum begeisterte. Nicht unbedingt der übliche Weg für einen jungen Absolventen der Royal Academy of Music ... Dabei ist der sympathische Musiker und Fußballliebhaber bodenständig und nahbar geblieben, musiziert ebenso gern mit seinen sechs Geschwistern wie mit den weltbesten Orchestern. Dem London Philharmonic Orchestra zum Beispiel, das in diesem Konzert das romantische Programm um Rachmaninows dritte Sinfonie ergänzt.

Anne-Sophie Mutter (Violin), London Philharmonic Orchestra (Ensemble), Karina Canellakis (Conductor)
Spannende Begegnung in Köln: Wenn Karina Canellakis und Anne-Sophie Mutter zum ersten Mal gemeinsam auf Tournee sind, werden die musikalischen Funken fliegen. »Ich habe schon öfter Konzerte von ihr besucht, sie ist eine tolle Musikerin«, sagt die Spitzengeigerin über die amerikanische Dirigentin.Und über sich selbst: »Wenn Sie mich kennenlernen wollen, müssen Sie mich auf der Bühne erleben«. Ihr Leben von der Musik zu trennen? Unmöglich. Ihr Credo: Klassische Musik gehört in den Alltag, in die Mitte der Gesellschaft. Mit Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky hätte sie sich in diesem Punkt gut verstanden. Musik war ihm Zufluchtsort und Lebenselixier. Sein grandioses Violinkonzert entstand in schwerer Zeit und wurde seine Lebensrettung: »In solchem Gemütszustand verliert das Schaffen gänzlich das Gepräge der Arbeit; es ist reinste Seligkeit!«

Vienna Philharmonic / Lorenzo Viotti

Tue, Jun 18, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Wiener Philharmoniker, Lorenzo Viotti (Conductor)
Was it winter when Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov wrote his »Capriccio espagnol«? One can certainly vividly imagine the composer well warpped-up and seated before the fireplace as he dreamt his way to warmer regions. But whenever it was written, the work conjures up the flamenco, fiestas and mild nights under a southern sky. With their musical journey beyond the boundaries of space and time, the fantastic Vienna Philharmonic under the baton of young Swiss conductor Lorenzo Viotti once again show that their reputation as one of the world’s best orchestras is well-deserved. Sergei Rachmaninov’s »Toteninsel« (Isle of the Dead): is a strong contrast to Rimsky-Korsakov’s »Capriccio«. Inspired by an Arnold Böcklin painting, the composer depicts life after death in the swelling, rushing sound of infinity. And in his Seventh Symphony of 1884, Antonín Dvořák likewise portrays a different world: with dramatic conflicts and echoes of Bohemian folk songs, the music dreams of the political independence of the Czech Republic, which was still part of the Hapsburg Empire at the time.

Munich Philharmonic / Daniel Harding

Tue, Apr 16, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Münchner Philharmoniker, Daniel Harding (Conductor)
Daniel Harding is by no means a stranger to the Munich Philharmonic. The British conductor regularly works with the venerable orchestra, which celebrated its 130th anniversary at the beginning of the season. An eventful time full of musical highlights: there is surely no other orchestra that performs the great repertoire as magnificently and colourfully as the Philharmonic from the Bavarian capital. Take Gustav Mahler’s phenomenal Symphony No. 5, for example. When it was premiered in 1904, the large-scale work, with its five expansive movements, broke through the boundaries of what had previously been considered possible. Surrounded by an infernal orchestral frenzy, the fourth movement alone provides some sense of relaxation. After it was featured in Visconti’s film »Death in Venice«, this enchanting adagietto became Mahler’s most popular creation. With his 1926 symphonic poem »Tapiola«, a musical invocation of the Finnish forest god Tapio, Jean Sibelius composed his last great orchestral work.
