Concertgebouw Orchestra plays Shostakovich' Symphony No. 7

Thu, Apr 24, 2025, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Semyon Bychkov (Conductor)
It was during the siege of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) by the Nazis that Shostakovich composed the bulk of his Seventh Symphony, a monumental, poignant requiem for a ravaged city and for the victims of totalitarian regimes everywhere. For conductor Semyon Bychkov, who was born and educated in that city, the ‘Leningrad’ Symphony has great historical and personal significance.Almost a year after Leningrad was taken, the symphony was performed in the besieged city by local musicians, most of whom had been temporarily released from service on the front. Thanks to loudspeakers placed along the trenches, even the Nazis themselves would have heard the concert. The symphony had profound symbolic significance for the Russians and garnered great international acclaim. But later, there was criticism: Soviet officials found the work lacking in heroism, while Shostakovich was seen in the West as Stalin’s puppet. Today, the symphony is considered not so much a literal commentary on the siege of Leningrad as a fierce indictment of oppression and violence, and a most compelling requiem for their victims everywhere.As a very young conductor, Semyon Bychkov faced opposition because his political ideas did not conform to the official Soviet line. ‘I wanted to be free to make my own decisions,’ he says. ‘And I wanted to be free not to lie.’ Bychkov emigrated to the United States in 1974. Ten years later, he conducted the Concertgebouw Orchestra for the very first time – the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration.

Mahler's Symphony No. 5 & Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3

Thu, Sep 12, 2024, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Mahler Academy Orchestra, Philipp von Steinaecker (Conductor), Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano)
What did Mahler's Fifth Symphony sound like at the beginning of the last century? The Mahler Academy Orchestra, attached to the Gustav Mahler Academy in Bolzano, sheds new light on performance practice in Mahler's time with the Originalklang-Project. The orchestra consists partly of academics and partly of professional musicians, drawn from the best European orchestras. In Toblach, where Mahler composed his last symphonic works, they mastered playing on original Viennese instruments from around 1900 under the direction of Philipp von Steinaecker. The strings use gut strings; the woodwind and brass play on instruments Mahler acquired during his time as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic.Norwegian star pianist Leif Ove Andsnes will solo in Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto. Fun fact: Mahler conducted this work at the New York Philharmonic in 1910 with Rachmaninoff himself as soloist. The Mahler Academy Orchestra's concert is a prelude to the Mahler Festival in May 2025.Originalklang with original text: first performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony in the new critical edition by Breitkopf & Härtel.
