Venue

With his unusual programming and universal musical approach, Iván Fischer has been one of the BRSO’s highly esteemed guest conductors for many years. This concert covers a particularly broad range: French repertoire with Satie’s statuesque simplicity, a little-known early work by Debussy and the iridescent imaginary Arcadia of Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé form a focal point. Iván Fischer dedicates the first part of the programme to his Hungarian compatriot Ernst von Dohnányi – with two entertaining pieces full of wit... Read full text

Herkulessaal (München)

Iván Fischer (Conductor), Christiane Karg (Soprano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

A Beethoven festival with Iván Fischer! This Hungarian conductor has acquired international fame for his readings of the classical-romantic repertoire and makes guest appearances with all the great orchestras. His BRSO programme features the Eighth Symphony, full of merriment and understated humour, and the Fifth, where Fate knocks at the door and the almost martial finale seems to find the composer “grabbing destiny by the throat”. Between these two mutually contradictory masterpieces is the revenge aria Ah! Perfido!, to words by Pietro Metastasio. The soprano is Christiane Karg.

Herkulessaal (München)

Iván Fischer (Conductor), Hanno Müller-Brachmann (Bariton), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

They were born in the same year (1860), enrolled at Vienna Conservatory at the same time and temporarily lived in the same flat: Gustav Mahler and Hugo Wolf. Then their paths led them in completely different directions: Mahler advanced to become the most successful conductor and greatest symphonist of his era, while Wolf, having failed in other genres, devoted his creative energy to the art song, in which field he left behind a uniquely vibrant oeuvre. As was common in his day, Wolf orchestrated several of his own lieder. Our programme reunites these two disparate contemporaries and shows what they composed at the same time: Mahler’s First and Wolf’s settings of Goethe and Mörike were all written around the year 1888.

Iván Fischer & Tabea Zimmermann

Thu, Dec 15, 2022, 20:00

Isarphilharmonie (München)

Iván Fischer (Conductor), Tabea Zimmermann (Viola), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

This season Tabea Zimmermann, the BRSO’s artist-in-residence, will present an entire series of special concertos for her instrument, the viola. One is William Walton’s Viola Concerto, composed for Lionel Tertis in 1928-29 at the suggestion of the English conductor Thomas Beecham. Tertis, however, felt unequal to its severe demands, and the première was entrusted to Paul Hindemith, a violist who had already written several pieces for his own use. This rarely heard composition will now be played by one of the supreme violists of our time, forming an exciting foil to Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra of 1943. The conductor is the seasoned Bartók specialist Iván Fischer.

Iván Fischer & Kirill Gerstein

Herkulessaal (München)

Iván Fischer (Conductor), Kirill Gerstein (Piano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

The genesis of Brahms’ First Piano Concerto proved to be an arduous affair. Originally Brahms wanted to write a sonata for two pianos, and then a symphony, until the work finally became what it is today: a classic of its genre – and a masterpiece of the concerto literature. For keyboard virtuoso Kirill Gerstein, it is an “incredibly noble, introspective piece with wonderfully lyrical motifs that subtly lie beneath the surface like watermarks.” It was a defining work for Brahms, who was 25 years old at the time. Conductor Iván Fischer juxtaposes it with Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony: a work that enabled Dvořák to finally step out of the shadow of his friend and patron Brahms, and probably one of his most famous and most popular due to its lively cheerfulness, easy-going optimism, and unbroken joie de vivre.
