Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Andrey Boreyko

Date & Time
Sun, Oct 20, 2024, 11:00
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«.

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Andreas Staier

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

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.«

»When the strings begin the choral melody in the Adagio of Bruckner’s Fifth, I just know that I’m going to get goose bumps. This melody has been a stalwart in my life for many years and I simply cannot wait to perform the symphony myself for the first time.« The double bass player Felix von Werder is not the only one looking forward to this concert. Anton Bruckner’s Fifth Symphony is, after all, undoubtedly one of the great works in music history. Its length, at some 80 minutes, secures its place in the canon, as does the huge reception it received in the 20th century. The road along the way was anything but smooth though. Before it could be experienced in its authentic version, some problematic interventions by foreign parties had to be overcome. It is worth mentioning that Bruckner himself referred to this work as his »fantastic« symphony – and no wonder really, as its sheer force alone cannot fail to move.

Pierre Boulez’s »Répons« was one of the remarkable highlights of Kent Nagano’s »Philharmonische Akademie« at St. Michaelis at the beginning of his tenure as General Music Director in Hamburg. He staged the »interchange« between chamber ensemble and soloists to great effect, as well as between electronically altered and unaltered sounds, within the sacred walls of Hamburg’s »Michel« church. The major construction project for the »Elbphilharmonie« was still underway at the time. Ten years later, Nagano revisits this exceptional work by the composer, conductor and founder of the IRCAM Institute in Paris, bringing it to the new and yet already firmly established concert hall on Hamburg’s River Elbe.

Bringing Gustav Mahler’s »Das Lied von der Erde« to the stage always takes us on a path down into the depths of late-Romantic turn-of-the-century aesthetics. Of course it is poetry that forms the foundation of the work – albeit thoroughly dubious due to the fact that the words have been translated back and forth so many times from the Old Chinese. So the six songs, the last of which is by far the most weighty, therefore do indeed need to be read primarily in terms of the music and regarded as Mahler’s unofficial Ninth Symphony, as it were. He did allude himself to this way of looking at the work – and also stressed that »Das Lied von der Erde« was »probably the most personal thing ... I have done so far.«
