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.

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Chor der Liatoshynskyi Capella, Katharina Konradi (Soprano), Ida Aldrian (Soprano), Seungwoo Simon Yang (Tenor), Jóhann Kristinsson (Bass), Jens Harzer (Narrator), Bogdan Plish (Choir rehearsal), Kent Nagano (Conductor)
The programme for the 6th Philharmonic Concert includes a world premiere that reflects our times. Jörg Widmann, who has been in close artistic contact with Kent Nagano, particularly since the great success of his ARCHE for the opening of the Elbphilharmonie, has recently written a decidedly peaceful work in view of the global wars: »Cantata in tempore belli«. Jens Harzer takes on the role of narrator. Ida Aldrian sings the alto part.
