Gewandhausorchester, Ingo Metzmacher Dirigent

Date & Time
Fri, Jan 31, 2025, 19:30
Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra" impressed even Nietzsche. Arnold Böcklin's paintings were highly regarded in the late 19th century, inspiring artists like Klinger, Hofmannsthal, Brahms, and Busoni. Reger's Böcklin Suite includes pieces inspired by "The Isle of the Dead", "Bacchanal", "The Hermit Fiddler", and "Play of the Waves". Cellist Julius Klengel premiered both Strauss's and Reger's works at the Gewandhaus. Klengel's student, Rudolf Metzmacher, father of conductor Ingo Metzmacher, created an edition of Schumann's Cello Concerto that's still used today.

Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester / Ingo Metzmacher

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, Ingo Metzmacher (Conductor)
»You sometimes need to go against the grain a bit in the music business,« says conductor Ingo Metzmacher. With Beethoven, Shostakovich and Schönberg, he includes three composers on the programme who did just that and wrote music that is still moving and inspiring today. And perhaps this is also an important message to the highly talented youngsters in the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, who bring the three revolutionaries to the stage in a young, fresh and certainly a little rebellious way.

Brahms' Third Symphony, premiered in 1884, is his shortest and focuses on depth. Hans von Bülow liked it so much he played it twice in one concert. Elgar's Violin Concerto, inspired by Fritz Kreisler's praise, took four years to compose. Its premiere shook Queen's Hall, and a year later, Arthur Nikisch led another impactful performance at the Gewandhaus.

Grażyna Bacewicz, a Polish violinist, pianist, and composer, debuted at the Grand Concert. Born in 1909, she studied music and philosophy, finding a mentor in Nadia Boulanger. Despite war and political upheaval, she composed prolifically across genres. A car accident in her prime forced her to limit performing, but her works gained recognition, she taught, and held cultural positions. She passed away 55 years ago. Whistler and Debussy, acquainted through Mallarmé's salon, created experimental Nocturnes. Debussy's orchestral triptych features the English horn, shimmering brass and woodwinds, and a women's chorus.

Liszt composed tone poems about Orpheus, who overcomes death with music, and Prometheus, who inspires humanity with art. Orpheus's music is harmonious, while Prometheus's is dissonant, reflecting his suffering. Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto, sometimes called the "Orpheus Concerto," may be inspired by Orpheus. Leó Weiner, a Liszt admirer, orchestrated Liszt's B minor Sonata for the Liszt centenary in 1956.

Three good reasons to go to a concert: Love for music, emotional escape, and feeling inspired. Three secret reasons: alibi for mother-in-law's birthday, wrong Valentine's Day gift, and cheaper alternative to Beethoven. Three reasons for this concert: sentimental trumpet solos, family preferences (Mendelssohn, Nelsons, Jussen brothers), and the rarity of Mendelssohn's and Mahler's pieces.

If the Gewandhaus Orchestra could only perform one work, it would be Bruckner's Seventh Symphony. This piece, premiered by the orchestra, is uniquely tied to its history and represents the deepest emotions. Conductor Herbert Blomstedt receives standing ovations upon entering the stage, and the hall's structural integrity is tested after every performance. The symphony's climax features a powerful cymbal crash in the Adagio, a controversial addition potentially attributed to the first conductor, Arthur Nikisch, and now accepted in the latest edition.
