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«.

"It is a simple and tremendous problem of life: that of fidelity", is how Hugo von Hofmannsthal described the core of their third opera together, Ariadne auf Naxos, in a letter to Richard Strauss. To live does not mean to persevere and hold on to what has been lost. If you want to live, you have to let go, forget, get over yourself - constantly transform yourself. This is what a young opera composer experiences in this work when he is confronted with the stubborn wishes of his patron; just like the protagonist of his opera, Ariadne, who, abandoned by her lover, Theseus, expects only death. But things turn out differently... Strauss and Hofmannsthal let the opposites collide: Tragedy and comedy, light music and grand opera, playfulness and seriousness. Thus, in the mirroring of art and life, between gaze and gaze, the unfathomable mystery of transformation takes place.

Workshop: Kosmos Gamelan

Sun, Oct 13, 2024, 10:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kaistudio 6 (Hamburg)
Gamelan music originated on the islands of Bali and Java many hundreds of years ago. It is played in a group on gongs, metallophones and drums. Its unique sound already fascinated composers like Debussy and has many fans in Europe to this day. The Elbphilharmonie owns a particularly fine ensemble of gamelan instruments, and this workshop offers the opportunity to try them out, and to hear what a remarkable sound they produce when they all are played together. Please note: this workshop is aimed at families with children aged ten and above. Children younger than ten may not participate in this workshop. All participants need a ticket.
