Venue

Iveta Apkalna pursues two milestones in organ music: Johann Sebastian Bach’s enormous Chaconne and César Franck’s ground-breaking »Grande pièce symphonique«, whose title alludes to the symphonic sound possibilities of the organ and fully exploits them. The titular organist of the Elbphilharmonie complements her solo programme with three further pieces, which also showcase »her« instrument in full splendour. Johann Sebastian Bach’s Chaconne was originally composed for violin. The contrapuntal entanglements which Bach created within it have, however, inspired several composers to... Read full text

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Iveta Apkalna (Organ)

Franz Liszt was one of the greatest artists of his time. A marvellous virtuoso, a master of self-expression and, later in life, a monk-like recluse. That being the case, his music is both a playground for the piano virtuoso and a canon of equal significance on a metaphysical level too. And this is especially true of his organ music. Liszt’s programme music takes on a whole new dimension on this king of instruments – be it his portrayal of the titan Prometheus, the incredibly vivid vision of Francis of Paola walking on water, or the colossal »Funérailles«. In this solo performance, Iveta Apkalna, the organist-in-residence at the Elbphilharmonie, places the Hungarian-Austrian composer in context alongside French organ music. Works can be heard by the Romantics and by Liszt contemporaries Gabriel Dupont, Gabriel Pierné, Léon Boëllmann and César Franck, whose magnificent »Pièce héroïque« with its steadily intensifying dynamics closes the first half.

Iveta Apkalna / Herbert Schuch

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Iveta Apkalna (Organ), Herbert Schuch (Piano)

They both have keyboards – but that is just about where the common ground between the organ and piano ends. One needs wind to produce its sound, while the other has hammers that strike its strings. The former is often associated with the sacred interior of a church, where its monumental form, known as the prospect, often looms high above, while the latter has been a staple item of furniture in many a private living room ever since the 19th century. So there is little overlap between the two, which is why compositions for both instruments together are so extremely rare. Iveta Apkalna, organist-in-residence at the Elbphilharmonie, and pianist Herbert Schuch have now curated a programme that presents the two instruments both separately and together in all their glory. Two works form the focus of this concert, both by Julius Reubke who died young: he composed a large piano sonata and an organ sonata. The latter is an absolute highlight of the repertoire for organ romanticism, transferring the newly created genre of symphonic poetry to the organ with a powerful sound by setting the 94th Psalm of the bible to music. As famous as the organ sonata is, the sister work for piano is rarely performed – although the virtuoso passages and colourful symphonies can certainly stand up alongside Franz Liszt. Set around these two solo works, where Iveta Apkalna and Herbert Schuch have the spotlight to themselves, there are works that prove the organ and piano can complement each other to wonderful effect: the mysterious »Choral’s Dream« by French organ master Thierry Escaich is performed at the beginning. A generation before him, his colleague and fellow countryman Jean Langlais also composed works for organ and piano. And the Latvian composer Andris Dzenītis even stages a world premiere this evening.

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Zuzana Ferjenčíková (Organ)

When a composer writes a work they have a clear idea or vision of how they want it to sound. Sometimes though, other tonal ideas emerge in retrospect, or history decides that a work can, in fact, sound quite different. That is the moment for the arranger to step in and tailor a new »tonal garment« for the piece, as it were. In the case of Franz Liszt’s symphonic poems, for instance, this was done by his contemporary Alexander Winterberger and the modern visionary Jean Guillou. Winterberger turned the piano variations on »Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen« into a veritable organ work – so successfully, in fact, that the original piano version is hardly ever played nowadays. Guillou, on the other hand, himself a first-rate virtuoso, took Liszt’s vision of the Orpheus saga and expanded on it to create a fabulous orgy of sound for organ. Now the Slovak organist and former Guillou student Zuzana Ferjenčíková is just the right person to perform this repertoire. Blessed with a phenomenal technique and driven by an incessant inner passion, she breathes new life into these arrangements at her Elbphilharmonie debut – which includes Sergei Rachmaninov’s famous »Isle of the Dead« and keyboard works by Mozart, one of which Ferjenčíková has arranged herself. Finally, Guillou’s truly titanic fantasy on Hyperion, the divine messenger of light, is an original work written for the organ.>

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Karol Mossakowski (Organ)

France and Germany – today, these two countries are best friends. The long-standing rivalry between them has, however, not only led to many a disagreement in politics. Even in the field of organ music, they took different paths for a long time: in France, people celebrated sound and tone colour; in Germany, virtuosity and counterpoint. Karol Mossakowski showcases the best of both worlds: a sedate organ symphony in the style of Widor, sound magic in the style of Fauré and visionary music in the style of Alain – all of them first-rate musical gems. Fauré clad the myth of Pelléas and Mélisande in subtle, highly sensitive sounds, Alain paved the way for the 21st century with his organ music widening the musical horizon. Not for nothing are the moving Litanies on the foundation of human existence some of the most widely played organ works of all for instance. Mendelssohn and Liszt are bywords for the German Romantic school. The variations sérieuses as well as the Mephisto Waltzes had originally been written for piano, but the art of arrangement has a long tradition especially in organ circles. What is not playable will be made playable – that is the motto here. After all, compared with pianists, organists also have two feet and an enormous pool of tonal colours at their disposal. Karol Mossakowski will also make use of this when he pursues another tradition cultivated by organists: improvisation. Here too, he is a true master of his trade.

David Briggs, Organ

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

David Briggs (Organ)

The first part of David Briggs’ concert proceeds majestically, the second part is symphonic. With this British organist, one of the stars of the organ world is gracing the Elbphilharmonie: previously a cathedral organist in Truro and Gloucester, then as artist in residence in New York and Toronto, he is in demand worldwide when the king of instruments is to sound. Because if there is one thing that the British can do it is this: royal splendour! The baroque composer Jeremiah Clarke had already elegantly celebrated this in his »Prince of Denmark’s March«. This is why the contemporary composer Patrick Gowers has written a humorous remark in the rumba rhythm. The story of Pelléas and Mélisande, which Claude Debussy immersed in impressionistic orchestral colours and David Briggs arranged for organ, also plays in the royal atmosphere. Furthermore, Briggs is devoted to Symphony No. 1 by Johannes Brahms. Because this is his speciality: arranging big orchestral symphonies for symphonic organ. Primarily, the symphonies of Gustav Mahler impressed the Brit, but also Brahms is eminently suitable, especially his first symphonic opus. The tremendous pedal point for instance (fittingly the name for accompanying repeated notes) with which the first movement begins is really made to be played on the eponymous instrument. And with a skilful arranger such as David Briggs we can be certain: the other three movements will also sound as if they were composed for the organ. Especially when he has such a symphonic instrument as the organ of the Elbphilharmonie under his feet and hands.

There are organ concerts, and then there are very special organ concerts. When palace organist Olivier Latry joins forces with Shin-Young Lee on the keys, the magnificent sound of the concert hall organ becomes an even more impressive musical event. This time, the program includes works that were not originally written for the organ, but their polyphony and orchestral colors create a unique effect on this instrument. "Le sacre du printemps" by Igor Stravinsky is one of these works. And even the famous "Sunrise" from Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé" gains a special colorfulness on the organ. By invitation of the Dresden Philharmonic Concert as part of the Dresden Music Festival
