»Eine Alpensinfonie« lässt sich hören wie ein Film-Soundtrack. Vor dem inneren Auge zu sehen: der mühsame, aber durch grandiose Naturbilder belohnte Aufstieg zu einem Alpengipfel. Natürlich spitzt sich die Situation zu, denn auch ein Richard Strauss wusste: Drama an der Bergwand muss sein. Sonnenaufgang – Der Anstieg – Auf der Alm – Durch Dickicht und Gestrüpp auf Irrwegen – Auf dem Gletscher – Gefahrvolle Augenblicke – Auf dem Gipfel – Gewitter und Sturm, Abstieg: Das sind nur einige der 22 Landschaftsbilder, aus denen sich dieses gewaltige Werk aufbaut. Und gewaltig sind auch die musikalischen Mittel, die dieses Bergmassiv zum Klingen bringen. Blechbläser aus der Ferne, Kuhglocken, eine Maschine für die Windgeräusche, Strauss lässt nichts aus, um das Erleben der Natur mit all seinen Herausforderungen plastisch darzustellen. Und dazu die Orgel hoch oben über dem groß besetzten Orchester, der Effekt ist atemberaubend. Ein Sound, so breit, monumental und faszinierend wie ein Alpenpanorama. Konzertdauer: ca. 80 Minuten – keine Pause!

Originating from South Africa, Germany and France, the members of the Franz Trio came together at the Konzerthaus in 2017 and have been performing with us regularly ever since. The program of their first concert together included a trio by their namesake Franz Schubert. This season, they have been joined by additional orchestra members: principal piccolo player Daniel Werner, principal oboist Szilvia Pápai and principal harpist Ronith Mues. Violist Ernst-Martin Schmidt on the program: “Three composers in three countries come up with enchantingly beautiful chamber music in the war year 1916: Max Reger writes his 2nd String Trio, Claude Debussy and Arnold Bax are inspired by the delicate combination of flute, viola and harp. Benjamin Britten's Phantasy Quartet for oboe and strings from 1932 and Jean Françaix's String Trio from 1933 bear witness to the witty, original chamber music created in England and France a generation later. This colourful program opens with a Fantasia by the forefather of English music, Henry Purcell. Max Reger struggles with him to the best of his ability to achieve mastery in the art of polyphonic composition.”
In addition to the eternally young classic of the narrow string octet literature by 16-year-old Felix Mendelssohn, the eight KHO string players, led by our first concertmaster Suyeon Kim, will perform a work by 19-year-old George Enescu, a The contemporary of Béla Bartók composed a key work in his own individual style: folk melodies from his native Romania meet Brahmsian Romanticism and Parisian fin de siècle.
The Klangforum at the Musikwerkstatt will be open before and after the concert.
