Their mutual history goes back a long way: the first concert given by the Czech Philharmonic, which was founded in 1896 by musicians of the Prague National Theatre, was conducted by no lesser figure than Antonín Dvořák. It goes without saying that the programme featured works by the composer’s himself, who had just returned from America. And it was Dvořák’s wealth of melody and his orchestral creativity that produced the traditional soft sound cultivated by this top ensemble. So tonight... Read full text

Czech Philharmonic / Augustin Hadelich / Semyon Bychkov

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Tschechische Philharmonie, Sir András Schiff (Piano), Semyon Bychkov (Conductor)
The founding concert of the Czech Philharmonic in 1896 was conducted by no less a figure than Antonín Dvořák. Ever since then, the tradition-rich Prague-based orchestra has been known for its warm Bohemian sound. Under its chief conductor Semyon Bychkov, the orchestra now dedicates a programme to the great Bohemian Dvořák. In addition to the much-loved symphony »From the New World«, they also perform his only piano concerto, played by Sir András Schiff. For the Hungarian master pianist, the 1876 work is »a wonderful concerto, conceived in the best symphonic tradition of Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms.« In it, however, the soloist does not function as a leading actor, but instead forms a glorious unit with the orchestra. The second main work is Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, which was composed during his time in America. The symphony borrows from African-American spirituals and also contains references to the music of his distant Bohemian homeland.

Who better than Katia and Marielle Labèque—surely the most famous piano duo of our day—to render the spirit of Mozart’s sublime concerto? Mahler’s Fifth Symphony then draws us into a whole other world, with its opulence and taut expression.

Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Augustin Hadelich (Violin), Mozarteumorchester Salzburg (Ensemble), Andrew Manze (Conductor)
For Augustin Hadelich, Mozart's music tells stories. He believes Mozart composed instrumental music with dramatic arcs and storylines. Hadelich will perform two violin concertos, showcasing these musical narratives. Beethoven's Eighth Symphony was initially conceived as a solo concerto, adding another intriguing story to the concert.

The barely ten-minute “Legend for Orchestra” about the guardian of the Finnish realm of the dead, The Swan of Tuonela, is one of Jean Sibelius’ best-known compositions and a showpiece for English horn – it is entrusted with the elegiac song with which the swan attracts the souls of the deceased. Afterwards, violinist Augustin Hadelich will interpret Ligeti’s Violin Concerto. The work, composed thirty years ago, captivates the listener with its iridescent, shimmering soundscapes and rhythmically motoric pulse. Furthermore the concert will conclude with Dvořák’s Seventh Symphony, his formidable response to Brahms’ Third. With this symphony, the Czech composer wanted to set “a world in motion”. The work was written for London. Long before he achieved the recognition he deserved on the continent, Dvořák was already held in high regard by the English audiences of the time.
