Mahler 5

Mahler 5

Zum Saison-Start der »Großen Reihe« eine ganz Große unter den Sinfonien: Mahlers »Fünfte«, in ihrem Zentrum der so eindringliche Adagietto-Satz, der die Zeit zum Stillstand bringt und die Harfe zum sphärischen Leuchten. Dazu ein Beethoven, der voranstürmt, als müsste diese Zeit wieder eingeholt werden. Mit Gustav Mahler die Spielzeit zu eröffnen, ist gleichsam ein Heimspiel – die Frankfurter Mahler-Tradition reicht lange zurück. Das hr-Sinfonieorchester steht international ein für seine preisgekrönte Mahler-Kompetenz. So wie der aus dem Tessin stammende Pianist Francesco Piemontesi berühmt ist für seine Wiener Klassiker. Bei ihm ist Beethovens geradezu kämpferisch auftrumpfendes, immer wieder aufs Neue mitreißende Es-Dur-Klavierkonzert in den besten Händen. »Piemontesi gilt zu Recht als Klangzauberer«, so die NZZ über den ohne jeden Star-Rummel auskommenden Schweizer, und legt noch hochachtungsvoll nach: »Er ist auch ein Klangtüftler.«Konzertdauer: ca. 140 Minuten – inklusive Pause

Tchaikovsky 5

Over 2500 applicants and auditions in 25 European cities - every year, the most talented young musicians from all over Europe apply for this orchestra. What the very best among them achieve under the direction of the most esteemed conductors worldwide is breathtaking. It is no wonder they speak of "dedication and enthusiasm" when talking about their passion for making music together. This time, they are our guests with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, a kind of musical psychogram of the composer that oscillates between soaring heights and deep despair. The four movements are a ride through all emotions for the audience as well... Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Violin Concerto in G major is popular not least because he draws from it abundantly - from divine harmony to satanic rage, one can experience the entire spectrum of emotions. In this concert, it will be performed by the French violinist Renaud Capuçon. Invited by the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra
