Czech Philharmonic / Augustin Hadelich / Semyon Bychkov

Tue, Mar 12, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Tschechische Philharmonie, Augustin Hadelich (Violin), Semyon Bychkov (Conductor)
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 we hear a showpiece programme which marks the Czech Philharmonic’s return to ProArte this season. In the midst of nature the audience can hear birdsong and get to know nature lover Dvořák, who was fond of working in his garden with a straw hat on, and used to go for long hikes with a water bottle in his backpack. His highly sophisticated Violin Concerto shows his talent for marvellous melodies, while the cleverly designed Eighth Symphony is a classic example of this brilliant composition’s rich imagination. One couldn’t present the Czech national composer any better than this!

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.

Semyon Bychkov & Mao Fujita

Thu, Feb 8, 2024, 20:00
Isarphilharmonie (München)
Semyon Bychkov (Conductor), Mao Fujita (Piano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
In 2021, Japanese pianist Mao Fujita caused a sensation at the Verbier Festival with his acclaimed performance of all Mozart piano sonatas. A year later, at the age of twenty-three, he released the cycle on CD. Critics praised the pianist’s “miraculous articulation.” Mao Fujita will now make his debut with the BRSO by performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor, whose somber and resigned tone already points towards the Romantic era. Schubert’s “Great” C major Symphony is equally groundbreaking. Its epic, large-scale structure, the richness and variety of phrasing, and its expansive pace led Robert Schumann to enthusiastically exclaim: “This heavenly length, like a monumental novel in four volumes.” After a long break, Semyon Bychkov will return to conduct the BRSO for this concert. The former principal conductor of the WDR Sinfonieorchester has led the Czech Philharmonic since 2018, and is a sought-after guest conductor of the world’s leading orchestras.
