Johannes 300

Date & Time
Fri, Mar 22, 2024, 20:00
Eines der bedeutendsten Meisterwerke der abendländischen Musik feiert Geburtstag: Vor 300 Jahren kam Bachs »Johannes-Passion« in die Welt und mit ihr eine Musik, die von unbegreiflicher Größe ist und zugleich von beeindruckender Menschlichkeit. Uraufgeführt am Karfreitag des Jahres 1724, ist dieses Passions-Oratorium Bachs erstes großes Vokalwerk seiner Leipziger Amtszeit. Verglichen mit der späteren, opernhafteren Matthäus-Passion ist die nach dem Evangelisten Johannes ein Werk, das den Erlösungsgedanken in den Vordergrund stellt. Jesu Sterben soll nicht erschrecken, sondern zur Reflexion über Verantwortung,... Read full text

J.S. Bach: Johannes-Passion

Sun, Apr 13, 2025, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Dorothee Mields (Soprano), Alex Potter (Counter tenor), Guy Cutting (Tenor), Johannes Kammler (Bass-Bariton), Reinoud Van Mechelen (Tenor), Krešimir Stražanac (Bass), Chor und Orchester des Collegium Vocale Gent (Ensemble), Philippe Herreweghe (Conductor)
Bachs Johannes-Passion ist ein einzigartiges Werk von erschütternder Expressivität. Wenn der große Bach-Interpret Philippe Herreweghe mit seinem Chor und Orchester des Collegium Vocale Gent und mit exzellenten Gesangssolistinnen und -solisten zur Tat schreitet, wird Bachs Musik in ihrer Substanz erlebbar.»In dieser Musik kommen Dinge zur Sprache, die bis dahin mit Tönen zu sagen niemand gewagt, niemand vermocht oder auch nur versucht hatte«, schrieb der Komponist Hans Werner Henze über Bachs Johannes-Passion. Als Pionier der historischen Aufführungspraxis hat Philippe Herreweghe einen besonderen Blick auf Bachs Musik, mit der er sich seit mehr als vierzig Jahren auseinandersetzt. Ihm zur Seite steht sein herausragendes Collegium Vocale Gent. Dorothee Mields, Reinoud Van Mechelen und weitere eindrucksvolle Stimmen bilden die illustre Solistenriege.

Johannes Kalitzke & Ilya Gringolts

Fri, Oct 28, 2022, 20:00
Herkulessaal (München)
Johannes Kalitzke (Conductor), Ilya Gringolts (Violin), Bavarian Radio Chorus, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
As can only be expected, Nicolaus Richter de Vroe is fully au fait with the violin. After all, this Halle-born composer is a trained violinist and played in the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra for more than 30 years. He wrote his new violin concerto for Ilya Gringolts, a violinist celebrated in the concert hall for his uncompromising and expressive style. No less uncompromising and expressive is Iannis Xenakis’s Jalons (Milestones), a work frequently reminiscent of electro-acoustic music that was written to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Pierre Boulez’s Ensemble Intercontemporain. After the interval we will be treated to Mit o ptici (The Myth of the Birds) by the Serbian composer Milica Djordjević. This large-scale work for chorus and orchestra is a setting of the eponymous ballad by Miroslav Antić, a poet born in what was then Yugoslavia. “This wonderful poem has haunted me for 20 years”, the composer explains. “It tells a very multi-layered, forthright and truly courageous story that reverberates strongly within me.”

Klaus Mäkelä Johann Sebastian Bach Thomas Adès Johannes Brahms

Fri, Nov 29, 2024, 19:00
Oslo Concert Hall (Oslo)
Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor)
During his lifetime, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was legendary as an organist and as a cantor in the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. From 1729, he also led the city’s Collegium Musicum, an ensemble that played every Friday at Café Zimmermann, Leipzig’s most famous coffee house.It might have been at such a Friday concert that Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 was played for the first time. Such suites, with small pieces based on various dance forms, were incredibly popular at the time. Bach wrote four orchestral suites, and the famous Air is one of the five movements in the third suite.The British composer Thomas Adès (b. 1971) got his breakthrough during the 1990s, and has since been one of the most performed and recognized orchestral composers of our time. The orchestral work Asyla was premiered in 1997 and is one of his most performed works. Asyla is the plural of asylum. The word means sanctuary or safe place, and psychiatric hospitals were called asylums for a long time. The composer plays with the double meaning in this diverse and nuanced work with four movements. The third movement, Ecstasio, describes a rave party in 1990s London.In 1880, Johann Brahms (1833-1897) discussed Johann Sebastian Bach’s music with some friends. He sat down by the piano and played a chaconne by Bach. While playing, he asked them: “How would you like to one day listen to a symphony movement written over this theme?”Bach was one of Brahm’s great idols, and the theme is from his Cantata No. 150, Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich. When Brahms began the work on his Symphony No. 4 in 1884, he took up the theme again and used it as the foundation for his last and perhaps most impressive symphonic movement.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Alan Gilbert

Fri, May 3, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Rundfunkchor Berlin, Susanna Phillips (Soprano), Gerhild Romberger (Alto), Maximilian Schmitt (Tenor), Michael Nagy (Bariton), Dominique Horwitz (Narrator), Alan Gilbert (Conductor)
It only lasts seven minutes, but it is nonetheless monumental: Arnold Schoenberg’s melodrama »Ein Überlebender aus Warschau« (A Survivor from Warsaw). Schoenberg had readopted the Jewish faith, and he wrote the piece, which opens with a fierce trumpet signal, in 1947 to commemorate the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. The score mixes the narrative of a man hiding in the sewers with German commands, martial rhythms – and finally the hopeful Hebrew words »Schma Yisrael«, which the Jews use to prepare for death. The part of the narrator is taken by Dominique Horwitz, himself the son of Jewish parents. The French-German actor and chansonnier is in great demand for performances of literary works of music, from Tom Waits’s »Black Rider« to Stravinsky’s »Histoire du soldat«. And the soloists in the second part of the programme likewise have resounding names: among them are the American soprano Susanna Phillips, alto Gerhild Romberger and baritone Michael Nagy. »War and Peace« is the motto of the Hamburg International Music Festival, and chief conductor Alan Gilbert and his NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra place the emphasis on a work of hope and brotherly love: Beethoven’s world-famous Ninth Symphony. The overwhelming finale culminates in Friedrich Schiller’s lines »All men shall be brothers«, which win the day against all the powers of destruction. Beethoven not only touched a nerve in his own time by ending the symphony with a large-scale chorus of rejoicing: nowadays, everyone is familiar with the melody in the guise of the European anthem. Even the playing time of a compact disc, when the CD format was introduced, was geared to enable Beethoven’s oversized Ninth to be played without a break.

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Julia Lezhneva / Adam Fischer

Sun, Jul 7, 2024, 11:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Julia Lezhneva (Soprano), Adam Fischer (Conductor)
»Scena di Berenice«, which is rarely performed nowadays, was composed by Joseph Haydn during his second visit to London. The content is quintessential for a classical aria: a woman in love has been abandoned by her partner and now laments sonorously. 130 years later, a work by Béla Bartók caused a far-reaching scandal: the fiery dance pantomime called »The Miraculous Mandarin« was banned in Cologne in 1926 by the then Lord Mayor Konrad Adenauer. This is how barbaric the music seemed to the listeners. And it is indeed true: Bartók was not interested in music as edification. He wanted to depict reality. And reality in the early 20th century was often a long way from harmonious. In the second half of the concert, Gustav Mahler’s fourth and arguably most light-filled symphony takes us back to the beginning of the century. But beware: the light in the symphony is tempered with some dark shallow waters. At a children’s concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall back in 1960, the great rediscoverer of Mahler, Leonard Bernstein, said: »Well, you might not believe it, but the man who wrote all that jolly stuff was one of the most unhappy people in history!«
