When Maria João Pires takes her place at the piano and leads you into Mozart’s sound world, you simply lose track of time. You can’t get any closer to the composer than this! The ‘Jeunehomme’ concerto is named after the amateur pianist Victoire Jenamy – a discovery not made until 2004 – rather than referring to Mozart’s own youth at the time of its composition.Honorary guest conductor Iván Fischer also leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra in two works brimming with optimism,...

Concertgebouw Orchestra & Maria João Pires: Mozart

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

The ‘Jeunehomme’ concerto is named after the amateur pianist Victoire Jenamy – a discovery not made until 2004 – rather than referring to Mozart’s own youth at the time of its composition.Honorary guest conductor Iván Fischer also leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra in two works brimming with optimism, joie de vivre and a love of nature. Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony is a work of mature mastery. The composer had achieved international fame and was at the height of his powers when he wrote it. And as his operatic ambitions grew, so did the dramatic quality of his symphonies, as the richly varied Eighth demonstrates. Marsyas by Alphons Diepenbrock, the Dutch classicist turned composer, is a fine rarity. Diepenbrock stayed true to classically Greek themes, as in his incidental music about a faun who challenges the gods to a musical duel. Performed here is the Entr’acte, nicknamed ‘Zwerftochten door het woud’ (Wandering Through the Forest).

Giovanni Antonini & Maria João Pires

Thu, Jun 20, 2024, 20:00

Herkulessaal (München)

Giovanni Antonini (Conductor), Maria João Pires (Piano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Schubert was just sixteen years old when he began working on the first of his eight symphonies in 1813, the last of which he completed in 1825. At the age of nineteen, he began writing his Fourth, the “Tragic,” which moves from C minor to C major, i.e. from darkness to light – “per aspera ad astra.” The Fifth Symphony is even more optimistic, striving from the first bar towards a “brighter, better life” and a cheerful buoyancy that dissolves all melancholy. Incidentally, this is the closest Schubert ever got in his compositional output to the Mozartean ideal of beauty – as exemplified in the “Jenamy” Piano Concerto, “Mozart’s Eroica” (Alfred Einstein): original, virtuosic, and daring. Another highlight of this concert is the collaboration of Maria João Pires and Giovanni Antonini, two artists with whom the BRSO has a close relationship.

Vladimir Jurowski conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Mozart and Bruckner

Wed, Dec 4, 2024, 20:15

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Concertgebouw Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski (Conductor)

Anton Bruckner’s First Symphony is rarely performed. And that’s a shame, since this delightful journey through the Austrian countryside of Bruckner’s youth is a comprehensive introduction to his symphonic œuvre. Conductor Vladimir Jurowski considers it ‘an amazing artistic achievement to write such a symphony ten years before the composition of Brahms’ First Symphony (…). Bruckner takes Schubert's lyrical symphonic style to its extremes and even beyond them. One can clearly sense the essence of all later symphonies by Bruckner in this one, as if contained in a nutshell.’At the premiere of Bruckner’s First Symphony in Linz, audiences were above all amazed that their city organist could write symphonies. Shortly afterwards, the ambitious Bruckner moved to Vienna, the city of his predecessors Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, whose Viennese classical influences are still palpable in his First Symphony. Vladimir Jurowski juxtaposes Bruckner’s First with Mozart’s penultimate symphony, the tempestuous No. 40 in G minor, a forerunner of Romanticism. Jurowski has been a popular guest conductor with the Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2006, one with a versatile repertoire – indeed, this is the first time he will be conducting Bruckner in Amsterdam.
