Bach and Ravel

Kosmos Bach

Bach ist der Anfang und das Ende aller Musik, hat Max Reger einmal gesagt. Und diese Wahrheit erweist sich stets aufs Neue – auch in diesem Kammerkonzert des hr-Sinfonieorchesters im Rahmen der Wettenberger Winterkonzerte. Aus dem unerschöpflichen Kosmos von Bachs »Musikalischem Opfer«, seiner Duo-Sonaten und Konzerten ist es erfüllt. Man darf es einfach nicht verpassen. Die Musiker*innen des hr-Sinfonieorchesters Frankfurt präsentieren dabei mit der Gast-Cembalistin Flóra Fábri auch ein Konzert für die rare Oboe d'amore sowie das 5. der berühmten »Brandenburgischen Konzerte«.

Kosmos Bach

The hr-Sinfonieorchester's chamber concerts will stop at Birstein Castle for the first time with an all-Bach program. In the princely "White Hall," the audience will enjoy authentic aesthetics and Bach's rich spectrum, from the rare oboe d'amore to duo sonatas and the Brandenburg Concerto No. 5.

Mahler Festival: Song recital Alma Mahler and friends

For four days, the Recital Hall is dedicated to Mahler's most beautiful songs. A special recital is dedicated to his wife Alma, combining pieces by her with those by friends. Perhaps today's most important Lieder accompanist, pianist Julius Drake, flanks his favourite vocalists during all these concerts. Today you will hear French soprano Axelle Fanyo, a 'true storyteller' according to Forum Opéra. She shares the stage with one of the greatest Dutch talents, baritone Raoul Steffani.Austrian Alma Maria Schindler was introduced to her future husband, Gustav Mahler, by her composition teacher Zemlinsky. Under Mahler's name, she would become known - but never primarily as a composer. Mahler did not want his wife to write any more music, and Alma herself also had doubts about her work. Although most of it has been lost, her late-romantic, often melancholic songs are still widely performed. Here today in the Recital Hall, they alternate with pieces by friends and acquaintances. Axelle Fanyo and Raoul Steffani perform songs by Ernst Krenek, Mahler's son-in-law. You will also hear works by Berg, Korngold and Stravinsky.

Chopin and Bach / Hayato Sumino’s piano recital

Bach and Chopin. Two worlds, two geniuses, two points of reference for the tradition of the keyboard. The former is the essence of spirituality, the musical structure and the richness of the baroque world. The latter symbolises musical romanticism. Chopin scholars emphasise the fact that he renewed Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and finesse of ornament, using them as foundations upon which he built a musical world of his own, still much beloved everywhere around the world. Their music serves as the basis for a fantasy of one’s own, and as material to be reworked, for artists for whom playing others’ music is not enough. The twenty-nine-year-old Japanese pianist Hayato Sumino follows in the footsteps of the wonderful eccentric, Friedricha Gulda, whose scandalising improvisations opened secret passages between classical music and jazz. On the sidelines, they are supported by the ghost of Maurice Ravel, who defined the concept of stylisation for the 20th century. In this concert’s programme, you can hear the neverending expansion of the musical universe. Adam Suprynowicz Concert duration (intermission included): approximately 100 minutes
