The sequence of fourths in Schönberg’s First Chamber Symphony represents a “fanfare of new music”: it marks both a decisive moment in which the extended tonality of late Romanticism was on the verge of dissolving and a turning point for the “dissonant experimenter,” who was proud of this work. But success did not come: “There is nothing I long for more intensely than to be taken for a better sort of Tchaikovsky. Or if anything more, that people should know... Read full text

The sequence of fourths in Schönberg’s First Chamber Symphony represents a “fanfare of new music”: it marks both a decisive moment in which the extended tonality of late Romanticism was on the verge of dissolving and a turning point for the “dissonant experimenter,” who was proud of this work. But success did not come: “There is nothing I long for more intensely than to be taken for a better sort of Tchaikovsky. Or if anything more, that people should know my melodies and whistle them.” With his Archduke Trio, on the other hand, Beethoven gazes far into the 19th century. However, the premiere in April 1814 marked the end of his performing career; it was his last concert as a pianist. And what about Reinecke? Perhaps the audience has to make a choice here. According to BRSO flautist Henrik Wiese, “you simply have to open your ears and heart, and let this music work its magic.”

Max Joseph Saal (München)

Korbinian Altenberger (Violin), Samuel Lutzker (Cello), Lukas Maria Kuen (Piano), Raymond Curfs (Timpani), Guido Marggrander (Percussion), Felix Kolb (Percussion)

The BRSO’s chamber music programs center on works whose unusual instrumentation has prevented them from being frequently performed in concerts. One such work is pianist Viktor Derevianko’s arrangement of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Fifteenth Symphony for piano trio and three percussionists, which creates an exciting timbral and rhythmic alternative to Shostakovich’s original. The Fifteenth Symphony is Shostakovich’s last contribution to the symphonic genre, and is considered to be an eloquent summation of his artistic life. Shostakovich references music of the past with quotations from Rossini and Wagner. The concert will commence with Anton Arensky’s rarely performed Piano Trio, composed in 1894: it is an unjustly neglected masterpiece that is in no way inferior to the compositions of German Romanticism. And Serbian percussionist and composer Nebojša Jovan Živković composed the percussion trio “Trio per uno” to showcase his favorite instruments. This is a program full of discoveries for inquisitive music lovers.

CHAMBER CONCERT: String Sextet

Tue, Jan 31, 2023, 20:00

Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)

Harald Strauss-Orlovsky (Violin), Barbara Wittenberg (Violin), Wen Xiao Zheng (Viola), Wakana Ono (Viola), Tobias Tauber (Cello), Guilherme Nardelli Monegatto (Cello)

In this concert, our musicians will present two major works for string sextet. When his Sixth Symphony was to be printed in 1809, Beethoven decided on the title “Pastoral Symphony or Memory of Country Life”. In this atmospheric work, he created a yearningly imagined world of nature – as already expressed in the title of the first movement: “Cheerful feelings awake upon arriving in the countryside”. The score contains both birdsong and a musical thunderstorm. The version for string sextet was written by Beethoven’s contemporary Michael Gotthard Fischer, and is sure to win listeners’ hearts with its fascinating combination of rich symphonic sound and the characteristic transparency of chamber music. The “Pastoral” will be followed by a masterful piece by Tchaikovsky, who was often at odds with the world around him. His works often trace the eternal cycle of becoming and passing away – and not just the changes of nature, but also the associated shifts in mood of the human psyche. Thanks to the financial support of his (pen) friend Nadezhda von Meck, Tchaikovsky was able to gain fresh strength and inspiration on numerous trips – including to Florence in 1890, a journey from which his famous sextet derives its flowery name. Its character is largely cheerful, setting it apart from the melancholy Tchaikovsky’s other gloomier compositions. Echoes of guitars and themes taken from folksong conjure up the memory of Italy – and Tchaikovsky provided the performers with helpful instructions: the first movement is to be played “with great passion and verve”, “the second lilting. The third whimsically. The fourth cheerfully and assertively."

Composed in 1785, Mozart’s K 478 was his first contribution to the piano quartet genre. The emotionality of the opening movement’s minore key and the subtly wrought dialogue between strings and piano proclaim its high artistic standards. No less brilliant is the Piano Quartet composed 100 years later by the young Richard Strauss. In his youthful élan he vacillates between engagement with romantic models (especially Brahms) and harbingers of his own style. The ennoblement of the clarinet as a chamber music instrument takes us back to Mozart. To the present day, many works owe their existence to the challenge of blending its timbre with the strings. The same is true of Veress’s Trio of 1972 and Penderecki’s Quartet of 1993, whose elegiac finale also pays tribute to Schubert’s C major Quintet.

This evening of Nordic chamber music covers a wide range of styles by composers from four Scandinavian countries. The historical starting point is the Septet for Winds and Strings, written in 1817 by the Swedish romantic composer Franz Berwald. It is unmistakably modelled on Beethoven’s masterpiece for the same combination of instruments. Grieg’s unfinished F major String Quartet of 1891 exudes a lilting charm and a Norwegian hue, while the E flat major Quartet by his Danish colleague Carl Nielsen (1898) strikes out on noticeably more modern paths. Rounding off the programme are two pièces de occasion: an enchanting Serenade with a touch of Vienna, composed by Sibelius during a holiday on Finland’s Archipelago Sea, and a humorous “unrequited” nocturnal serenade by Carl Nielsen, written during a concert tour in 1914.

“Sorrow always – upward glance – celestial dew – recollection”: thus the words that Anton Webern set in his aphoristically short work for soprano and string quartet. They also stand as a motto for this unusual and cleverly assembled programme. The works in the first section come from completely different eras and interlock like meditations – devout, contemplative, ravishingly beautiful, yet pervaded by a “sweet” tone of sorrow. Schubert’s G major Quartet also directs its gaze into unknown dimensions. Few works of chamber music sustain the combination of sorrow and supplication with such existential force and urgency as this unique visionary creation from the year 1826.
