Die Bücher der Zeiten

Fri, May 9, 2025, 21:30
Johanna Zimmer Sopran, Einat Aronstein Sopran, Anne-May Krüger Mezzosopran, Michael Kiedaisch Schlagzeug, Mike Svoboda Posaune
As a barely 18-year-old, Friedrich Hölderlin wrote the monumental poem "Die Bücher der Zeiten." Inspired by the biblical Revelation, Hölderlin narrates the "horrors of mankind," redemption through Christ, mankind's achievements, and their just reward. Mike Svoboda entrusts the proclamation of this apocalyptic vision to three female voices, echoing mythological figures like the Norns. The singers weave the text into intricate sounds, highlighting words from the biblical imagery. Svoboda expands the vocal trio to a quartet with trombone, emphasizing the poem's archaic sounds. The percussionist handles dry birch twigs, water, and gravel. At 8:30 pm and following: Meet the Star at the Bar.

Hába Quartett: Sha Katsouris (Violine Artur Podlesniy), Sha Katsouris (Violin), Artur Podlesniy (Violin), Peter Zelienka (Viola), Arnold Ilg (Cello), Jan Polívka (Piano)
Der Tscheche Bedřich Smetana hat der Musikwelt viele große Werke geschenkt – auch in der Kammermusik. Zu seinem 200. Geburtstag breitet das Hába Quartett ein Füllhorn seiner wundervollen Kompositionen aus. Von böhmischer Melodiefreude sind sie erfüllt wie von heimischen Tänzen und Romantik. Von zwei von der Schönheit der heimischen Landschaft und der unverfälschten Musikalität ihrer Bewohner kündenden Violin-Duos führt der Bogen dabei über die mitreißenden beiden Streichquartette Smetanas bis hin zu einer Klavierquintett-Adaption seiner wohl berühmtesten Komposition: »Die Moldau«.Konzertdauer: ca. 110 Minuten – inklusive Pause
