Hamburger Camerata / Nicolas Krüger

Instrumental concerto or symphony? Fortunately, if you don’t want to commit yourself, music history has a suitable genre: the »concertante symphony«. It originated in the 18th century when there were simply too many instrumentalists to dedicate a solo concerto to them all. Without further ado, orchestral and soloistic forms of music-making were combined in the»‘Sinfonia concertante«, which emphasises an »ensemble within an ensemble«, so to speak, without having to abandon the collective idea and demands of a symphony. The perfect opportunity for the Hamburg Camerata, which is organising its 2024/25 season under the motto »Camerata concertante«! True to the idea that even a chamber orchestra is only ever the sum of many individuals, an entire wind solo quartet emerges from the orchestral circle of colleagues in the »Sinfonia concertante« (probably wrongly) attributed to Mozart. And after the string section has separated in the rarely performed Serenade by the German-Italian former Mozarteum professor Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, everyone comes together again in Mozart’s »all-time favourite«: the famous G minor Symphony K. 550.

Mieczysław Weinberg? Just over a decade ago, this name was not even familiar to the established classical music fans here in Germany. And to this day, the Polish-Russian composer who died in 1996 and who was under the pressure of two dictatorships (the German and the Soviet) is still considered an insider tip. Although word has now spread that Weinberg no longer has to hide behind his fellow sufferer and mentor Dmitry Shostakovich. He exchanged artistically with the father of Soviet music again and again, and he felt that he was his »flesh and blood« – Reason enough for the Hamburger Camerata to trace this special friendship musically in challenging times. Under the seasonal motto »Camerata concertante«, the programme includes four works by the two, which explore the tension between solo, chamber and orchestral music making as varied as the tension between personal freedom and political compulsion.

The Hamburger Orchestergemeinschaft e.V. has existed since 1904 and is thus the oldest amateur symphony orchestra in Hamburg. Today it performs at least two concerts a year and gives young, very talented conductors and soloists the opportunity to gain experience with orchestras and public performances in large concert halls.

Double concertos for two solo instruments take the usual »concertante two-dimensionality« to »3D«, so to speak: in addition to the juxtaposition of solo and orchestra, there is also the relationship between the two solo parts to consider. And one is often inclined to imagine the latter as a role play: Are we witnessing a liaison or an argument between the two protagonists? True to its motto for the season, the Hamburg Camerata presents two such »3D concertante« works in this programme: in his piece for violin, cello and orchestra, the French Romantic composer Camille Saint-Saëns actually had the image of a muse in mind who ensnares a poet and frees him from his melancholy. It is not known whether the British contemporary Ethel Smyth had something similar in mind for her unusual double concerto for violin and horn. But the pioneer of the English women’s movement was certainly controversial. In contrast, Francis Poulenc saw his »Sinfonietta« from 1947 as more of a pleasure than a serious contribution to the time-honoured symphonic genre, in which the united »concertante camerata« breaks out into countless stylistic dimensions at the end.

»Give us peace« – how often have we heard these words in mass settings and hymns? But how often have they been thoughtlessly overlooked as an all too familiar line of text in the history of music? In times when this simple, yet terribly difficult request has become tragically topical, the Hamburger Camerata invites audiences to listen consciously.

Intercultural, international understanding, peaceful coexistence of all (lifestyles): what cannot be promoted often enough in the present day was a matter of course for many composers of the past. In his late »London« symphonies, Joseph Haydn brought together Hungarian folklore, Austrian court culture and pan-European art music – which also went down well in the English capital. The Hungarian Zoltán Kodály, in his research into rural peasant songs, in turn came across the realisation that there is much more in common in the musical traditions of the European peoples than one might think.

Four composers, four good tidings. What does Christmas actually sound like? For the Baroque composers, one thing was clear: pastoral music for shepherds was a must. Giuseppe Torelli wonderfully captured the scene in the stable in Bethlehem in his »Concerto in the Form of a Pastoral for the Most Holy Night«. Shepherds also cavort in Antonio Vivaldi’s »Four Seasons«. Alongside them, you can hear a dog barking, ice crunching, leaves rustling and birds chirping. Vivaldi’s virtuoso panorama of the seasons is great cinema for the ears. His compatriot Nino Rota even won an Oscar for his film music for the classic film »The Godfather«. But at its core, the grand master of film music was also always concerned with a happy message: composing makes him happy, Rota once said. And making others happy with his music was »the centrepiece« of his work. After all, Bach’s music would be inconceivable without the good news of Christianity. He concluded each of his scores with a pious »Soli Deo gloria« (Glory to God alone), and his music – such as the concerto for three violins – sparkles with vitality.

If there is a group of works that matches the Hamburger Camerata’s season’s motto »Camerata concertante« like pot and lid, it is the »Brandenburgischen Konzerte« by Johann Sebastian Bach! The six »Concerts avec plusieurs instruments«, which the Köthener Hofkapellmeister wrote in 1721 as his artistic calling card for Margrave Christian Ludwig von Brandenburg, are a real playground for concerting soloists and ensembles in all conceivable constellations. On the 275th anniversary of Bach’s death, which is celebrated by the Musikwelt on 28 July 2025, the Hamburger Camerata, with soloists from its own ranks as well as musical friends finally dedicated themselves to the entire »Six Pack« in one evening with soloists from its own ranks and musical friends.
