This concert has been cancelled due to illness. Tickets can be refunded at point of purchase. 40 years ago, Mischa Maisky recorded the six solo suites for cello by Johann Sebastian Bach – a legendary recording. »Bach was the greatest Romantic of his time, and on many different levels.« With these words, cellist Mischa Maisky describes his approach to the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach not only wrote the greatest amount of remarkable music in the history of music, he was also a father and was therefore at the centre of life. Maisky’s gripping, emotionally charged interpretation of the Thomaskantor’s music is based on this understanding, making it certainly one of, if not the central work in Maisky’s concert repertoire. With a mischievous smile, he declaims: »If I say that music is my religion, then these six solo suites are my bible.« Who is still surprised that Maisky’s cello suites are an absolute hit on YouTube? The first suite currently has over 58 million views, a figure that dwarfs anything comparable. But contact with the audience has always been the most important thing for Maisky. Performing the complete Bach suites is one of the most strenuous tasks as a soloist: »They are undoubtedly the greatest challenge. And the most beautiful when they succeed.« However, he is never interested in showing how well he can play. »I will never be the best cellist, but I could certainly play more precisely and clearly if I concentrated on that.« But then something else that is more essential to him would be lost: »Expressiveness. That’s more important to me than perfection.«

Symphoniker Hamburg / Mischa Maisky / Han-Na Chang

Sun, Mar 3, 2024, 19:00
Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Symphoniker Hamburg, Mischa Maisky (Cello), Han-Na Chang (Conductor)
The programme opens with Richard Strauss’s »Don Juan«, a tone poem full of drama and passion. The work is based on Nikolaus Lenau’s »Don Juans Ende« of 1844. In it, Lenau created a hero who, as a free-thinking individual, rises above the decadence and prudery of society. Searching for the ideal woman, he is driven by an insatiable desire from one woman to the next. 40 years later, the figure of Don Juan – precisely because of these qualities – became for Strauss a representative of the modern artist, and thereby an opponent of intellectual hardening. That work is followed by Ernest Bloch’s Schelomo – a homage to the Old Testament characterised by an extraordinary musical beauty and a deeply moving solo voice part. The highlight of the evening is Sergei Prokofiev’s impressive Fifth Symphony. The work demonstrates Prokofiev’s profound understanding of the human drama and the human soul. »The Fifth Symphony embodies his complete inner maturity,« writes Sviatoslav Richter, who was there for the work’s noteworthy Moscow premiere on 13 January 1945, which Prokofiev conducted. »He looks down from a height at his life and at everything that has been. There is something Olympic in that.«
