Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra

Date & Time

Sat, Mar 29, 2025, 11:00

Venue

The Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Christoph Gedschold, presents a profound programme: Haydn’s »Farewell Symphony« and Wagner’s »Prelude« and »Liebestod« from »Tristan und Isolde« reveal a close relationship in terms of content, as death and farewell are fundamentally related. Schumann’s 2nd Symphony is diametrically opposed to this, even though this work was composed during a period of deep crisis in the composer’s life.

Der britische Shooting-Star Sheku Kanneh-Mason präsentiert sich mit Saint-Saëns’ elegantem Cellokonzert an der Seite des London Philharmonic Orchestra mit Chefdirigent Edward Gardner.Seine beispiellose Karriere nahm ihren Lauf, als er erst als Überraschungssieger aus der Fernsehshow »Britain’s Got Talent« hervorging und schließlich bei der royalen Hochzeit von Prinz Harry und Meghan Markle ein Millionenpublikum begeisterte. Nicht unbedingt der übliche Weg für einen jungen Absolventen der Royal Academy of Music ... Dabei ist der sympathische Musiker und Fußballliebhaber bodenständig und nahbar geblieben, musiziert ebenso gern mit seinen sechs Geschwistern wie mit den weltbesten Orchestern. Dem London Philharmonic Orchestra zum Beispiel, das in diesem Konzert das romantische Programm um Rachmaninows dritte Sinfonie ergänzt.

Anne-Sophie Mutter (Violin), London Philharmonic Orchestra (Ensemble), Karina Canellakis (Conductor)

Spannende Begegnung in Köln: Wenn Karina Canellakis und Anne-Sophie Mutter zum ersten Mal gemeinsam auf Tournee sind, werden die musikalischen Funken fliegen. »Ich habe schon öfter Konzerte von ihr besucht, sie ist eine tolle Musikerin«, sagt die Spitzengeigerin über die amerikanische Dirigentin.Und über sich selbst: »Wenn Sie mich kennenlernen wollen, müssen Sie mich auf der Bühne erleben«. Ihr Leben von der Musik zu trennen? Unmöglich. Ihr Credo: Klassische Musik gehört in den Alltag, in die Mitte der Gesellschaft. Mit Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky hätte sie sich in diesem Punkt gut verstanden. Musik war ihm Zufluchtsort und Lebenselixier. Sein grandioses Violinkonzert entstand in schwerer Zeit und wurde seine Lebensrettung: »In solchem Gemütszustand verliert das Schaffen gänzlich das Gepräge der Arbeit; es ist reinste Seligkeit!«

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Andreas Staier (Harpsichord), Andreas Staier (Director)

The innately humanistic sound ideal of Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach meets the youthful, romantic gesture of Felix Mendelssohn: the 4th Academy Concert continues the series of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos that began with the 1st Academy Concert. It is music so popular and widely admired that it was launched into space on a data disk aboard the »Voyager 2« space probe in 1977. Now it is back in Hamburg. His Symphony No. 6, nicknamed the »Hamburg Symphony« is a clear sign that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach has no reason to be disconcerted by any overbearing legacy of his famous father.

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Kent Nagano

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, LauschWerk, Kent Nagano (Conductor)

The 2024/25 season of the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra – the final season for General Music Director Kent Nagano – begins with the sound of infinity rather than with any instruments. In György Ligeti’s groundbreaking »Lux aeterna«, written in 1966, the LauschWerk choir sings with a polyphony at full power – with soprano, alto, tenor and bass dividing into no fewer than 16 voices to capture the »eternal light« in sound. »As a self-contained composition, ›Lux aeterna‹ naturally has a beginning and an end,« said the Hungarian composer, who later taught at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama for many years. »And although the entire habitus of the music is static, gradual shifts do occur. The idea of infinity is evoked; the impression is created that the music was already there even before we started hearing it, and that it will always continue, even when we no longer hear it.«

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Andrey Boreyko (Conductor)

Under the baton of conductor Andrey Boreyko, the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra turns its attention eastwards. The Czech Josef Suk, a pupil and son-in-law of Antonín Dvořák, created an orchestral work with his fantastic Scherzo that is emphatically vibrant – and absolutely holds its own when it comes to expressiveness alongside the Divertimento that follows, from Stravinsky’s ballet »The Fairy’s Kiss«.
