Emelyanychev & Müller

In 1851, the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer sounds off in his essay »on women« that they do not really and truly have sense and sensitivity, »neither for music, nor poetry, nor fine arts«. In such surroundings, Emilie Mayer must have seemed like a provocation: the young woman from small-town Mecklenburg led a glorious life as a composer in Berlin, performed one symphony after the other, became the deputy head of the Berlin Opera Academy and an honorary member of the Philharmonic Society in Munich. It’s high time to rediscover her and her music!

»No original feeling … nothing but technical skill, calculation and inner deceit, a sickly, ill-tasting Supermusic«, an outraged critic wrote of the premiere of Mahler’s Fourth in Munich in 1901. Today we speak of a masterpiece. One can love or hate Mahler’s symphonies: some suffer vicariously with them, understanding their loneliness and loving their melancholy. Others find them outré, self-indulgent, hysterical. In the Fourth, it’s all not so bad. »We revel in heavenly pleasures«, it says at the end.

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.

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.

As Hamburg’s oldest amateur symphony orchestra, the Hamburger Orchestergemeinschaft from 1904 organises at least two concerts a year. Time and again, the orchestra gives young, very talented conductors and soloists the opportunity to gain experience with public performances in large concert halls. For the anniversary concert, the orchestra under the direction of Wolf Tobias M. Müller showcases its musical breadth with a colourful bouquet of overtures and arias from Mozart to Puccini as well as Schubert’s »Unfinished« Symphony. To celebrate the anniversiary, a new percussion concerto by Fredrik Schwenk will be premiered.

Andrew Manze | Daniel Müller-Schott

Andrew Manze (Conductor), Daniel Müller-Schott (Cello), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
British-born Andrew Manze began his impressive career as a violinist and conductor of early music. Since then the vitality and spontaneity he acquired in the early music scene now covers every era of music history. With Schumann’s Cello Concerto of 1850 he ventures into the innermost precincts of romanticism. Endless dreamlike melodic lines and a fervent urge to communicate characterise the solo part, making this concerto, to Munich cellist Daniel Müller-Schott, one of the most personal of all works for cello and orchestra. Manze’s unconventional and daredevil approach is as welcome here as it is in Beethoven’s First Symphony, where the composer’s idiosyncratic and trailblazing will to expression already flares up behind a seemingly classicist façade.
