Venue

About 20 years ago, Francesco Tristano's career began with an intensive exploration of Johann Sebastian Bach's music. Since then, the pianist from Luxembourg has repeatedly returned to Bach's work, always seeking new interpretations. Tristano's stylistic range is vast, from classical to modern, incorporating minimal music and virtuosic classical piano pieces.

Wed, Mar 5, 2025, 21:00

Bunker Feldstraße, Uebel & Gefährlich (Hamburg)

Francesco Piemontesi (Piano), Mitglieder des NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchesters

A long bar, dim lighting, beanbags and a relaxed audience. This is what concert evenings at »übelst unverstärkt« look like, where musicians from the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra perform with international soloists. Alan Gilbert, chief conductor of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, has already dropped by with his viola. Martin Fröst, Joshua Bell, Daniel Müller-Schott, Anna Vinnitskaya and Augustin Hadelich followed with great live acts. And they all had a lot of fun performing in a neighbourhood club and presenting captivating chamber music up close.

He was the soloist at the premiere in New York, not knowing that he would emigrate to the US nine years later after the Russian Revolution.Piano Concerto No. 3 opens with a simple, melancholic melody, but during the next 45 minutes, the soloist must master some of the most spectacular music ever written for the piano. Few pianists tried it in the first years, but it gradually became more popular and performed.

In 1909, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) traveled on his first US tour. He brought along a newly written piece—Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor. He was the soloist at the premiere in New York, not knowing that he would emigrate to the US nine years later after the Russian Revolution.Piano Concerto No. 3 opens with a simple, melancholic melody, but during the next 45 minutes, the soloist must master some of the most spectacular music ever written for the piano. Few pianists tried it in the first years, but it gradually became more popular and performed. “I cannot imagine a more lively, problematic, human, artistically poignant and, in the best sense, dramatic figure … Mathis placed himself at the service of the powerful machinery of state and church and was apparently able to resist the pressures of the institutions.” These are the words Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) used to describe the Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald, who inspired him to write a symphony and an opera with the title Mathis der Maler. The symphony is based on Grünewald’s most famous artwork, the Isenheim Altarpiece.Both artists bore witness to great upheavals - Grünewald lived through the German Peasants’ War in the 1520s, Hindemith during the rise of Nazism. Hindemith’s radical musical style, his provocative statements, and his wife’s Jewish background put him in a gradually more difficult position.In line with social developments, Hindemith in Mathis der Maler took a step in a more traditional direction, with elements of German folk tunes and music that may send the mind to Brahms and Wagner. The symphony was a great success with the public at its premiere in Berlin in 1934. ”Through whirling clouds, waltzing couples may be faintly distinguished. The clouds gradually scatter: one sees (...) an immense hall peopled with a whirling crowd. The scene is gradually illuminated. The light of the chandeliers bursts forth (...) in an imperial court, about 1855.”This is the introduction Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) wrote in the sheet music for La Valse. Already in 1906, he started on a tribute to Vienna, the waltz, and the “waltz king” Johann Strauss Jr.. La Valse premiered in Paris in the fall of 1920 as a standalone orchestral work. The recently ended World War I ended Vienna as the capital of a great empire. In Ravel, the waltz undergoes an extreme transformation that ends in a breakdown. Many in the audience experienced the play as a description of the demise of pre-war culture.

Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice / Vikram Francesco Sedona / Markus Stenz

Wed, Jul 3, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice, Vikram Francesco Sedona (Violin), Markus Stenz (Conductor)

Nomen est omen: true to its name, Venice’s legendary opera house, the Teatro La Fenice (Italian for phoenix), rose from the ashes in 2003 after a devastating fire. Since its reconstruction, the theatre has once again stood for splendour and radiance as well as impressive acoustics. The theatre is also home to a renowned orchestra, with which Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss worked. It gave important Verdi premieres, has a special history and is now bringing some of this aura to the north. Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is one of the most popular works of all time, rich in beguiling melodies, full of romantic intensity and rousing in its gesture. Accordingly, the solo part demands highly expressive playing, and this is precisely what the violinist Vikram Francesco Sedona, who trained partly in Venice, is known for. Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 forms the crowning finale with its sacred-sounding grandeur, monumental Wagnerian references and late-Romantic, smoldering expressiveness. »Bruckner’s music seems to me to breathe inexhaustibly. At the same time, his constantly evolving sounds allow flexible arcs to be spanned – Romantic, grand music,« says conductor Markus Stenz.
