Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

Date & Time
Wed, May 8, 2024, 20:00
Mit einem Programm rund um Sofia Gubaidulinas mystisches kompositorisches Schaffen gastiert das hr-Sinfonieorchester im Anschluss an das Frankfurter Konzert auch in der Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Der Glaube ist das zentrale Thema im Leben und in der Musik Gubaidulinas, die sich 1970 russisch-orthodox taufen ließ. Ihre Verbundenheit mit dem göttlichen Kosmos prägt ihr gesamtes Schaffen und offenbart sich in zahlreichen religiös inspirierten Werktiteln. So auch in »Der Zorn Gottes«, ihrem erst 2022 uraufgeführten »grandios apokalyptischen Orchesterwerk« (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Zuvor widmet sich die... Read full text

On Tour: Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

Sat, Apr 5, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg)
Jakub Hrůša (Conductor), Konstantin Krimmel (Bariton)
»Mahler is a must!« That was absolutely clear to Jakub Hrůša when our journey together began in 2016 – as his late Romantic music is »genetically very close« to both him and ourselves. We have already performed five of his symphonies together in recent years. This programme includes the enchanting »Blumine« movement, which Mahler erased from his autobiographical first symphony and described himself as a »blissful infatuation«: he wrote it in 1884 as a young conductor when he had a crush on a soprano. However, his affection was not returned – and a year later, the »Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen« (»Songs of a Travelling Companion«) emerged from his emotional misery. Together with Konstantin Krimmel, we embark on the restless wanderings of the lovesick artist. After that we say: Not only Mahler is a must. For some time now, Jakub Hrůša has also been working more intensively on Bruckner, as he has recognised that only an orchestra that »really loves this music enough« will be able to make it work. He described the phase in which we immersed ourselves in the Symphony No. 4 in the 2018/2019 season as a »blissful experience with Bruckner« – and it was deepened even further: In the 2020 pandemic, we recorded our Chief Conductor’s personal take on all three versions of the work for a phenomenal and award-winning recording. In this programme, the »Romantic« is performed in the 1878/1880 version – first in Bamberg, as is traditional, of course. Then we will once again become »travelling companions« ourselves and present the works in two of the best halls in Europe: in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and (for the 10th time already!) in Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie – where we have come to love and appreciate the inspiring acoustics.

Marshall & NDR Bigband in Hamburg

Sun, Dec 1, 2024, 18:00
Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg)
Wayne Marshall (Conductor), NDR Bigband (Ensemble), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Geir Lysne (Bigband Rehearsal)
A match made in heaven, and yet at the same time: earthly, lively and of the highest calibre: NDR Bigband meets the DSO. Not crossover. Not a stylistic mish-mash. But rather two top ensembles meeting as equals, with Nikki Iles, British bandleader, Geir Lysne, Norwegian arranger and composer, and Wayne Marshall, conductor specialised in gripping orchestra grooves. New sounds for the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg—and on the day before, in Berlin’s Philharmonie.

Landesjugendorchester Hamburg

Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 12:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Landesjugendorchester Hamburg, Johannes Witt (Conductor)
The Landesjugendorchester Hamburg (LJO Hamburg) has been an integral part of the young music scene for over 55 years as the select orchestra of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The patron of the ensemble is the First Mayor, Dr Peter Tschentscher. In its working phases, the symphony orchestra devotes itself to major works of orchestral literature as well as programmes with smaller ensembles or contemporary works. This year’s autumn concert under the direction of Johannes Witt will feature the work »Aufbruch«, composed in 1986 by Detlev Glanert especially for the LJO Hamburg (then still the Hamburg Youth Orchestra). Glanert, who is now in demand all over the world and was himself a member of the youth orchestra at the time, composed the piece practically to fit the orchestra at the time. The Hamburger Abendblatt described the work after the premiere with the words: »Glanert’s stylistically ›forward‹ music is full of eruptive and lyrical ideas, organically developed in context and skilfully orchestrated.« Directly afterwards, the programme features Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony, a blockbuster that the Russian composer composed in 1937 under pressure from the Stalin regime. Shortly beforehand, he had fallen out of favour with his opera Lady Mcbeth of Mtsensk« due to his overly progressive compositional technique and now had to adapt outwardly. Whether grotesque ländler, furiously noisy march or mournful themes – Shostakovich created a parody of the triumphalism of the time, which the audience at the premiere certai»nly recognised, while the party leaders celebrated the return of the prodigal son with this symphony. A fallacy, as can also be seen from the musical quotations used in the symphony. Although Shostakovich was deeply connected to the Russian people and their culture, his progressive ideas under Stalinism meant that he himself always had to fear for his life and that of his family – he subtly expressed his demand for humanity and dignity through his music. The LJO Hamburg is organised by the Landesmusikrat in der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg e. V. and is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Media.
