Fischer-Dieskau 100 Thomas Hampson. Natasha Loges. Julian Prégardien Perspektiven auf einen Jahrhundertsänger

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, born May 28, 1925, left a legacy of around 400 recordings, spanning a 50-year career. His vast repertoire and influence on singing solidify his status as a prominent figure. Thomas Hampson, Natasha Loges, and Julian Prégardien will explore Fischer-Dieskau's vocal prowess, artistic identity, and future relevance, particularly through his work with lieder.

Julian Sartorius / Percussion

Percussionist Julian Sartorius finds his own, unusual answers to this question. Instead of playing a drum set on stage, he turns the building into an instrument. Using sticks and mallets, the former drummer for Sophie Hunger elicits a wide variety of sounds from walls and objects during his »soundwalks«. Julian Sartorius played drums in Sophie Hunger’s band from 2008 to 2010. Hunger has now invited him to be part of her »Reflektor« festival at the Elbphilharmonie with his walkabouts accompanied by sound. Sartorius’s longest soundwalks were through his Swiss homeland and he released them as albums under the title »Hidden Tracks«: for this, Sartorius walked around 270 kilometres from Basel to Geneva and climbed the 4,000-metre-high Weissmies. In contrast, the walk from the Plaza through the foyers of the Elbphilharmonie will be an easy tour – but at least as exciting in terms of sound. The walks start on the Plaza at the base of the staircase to the Grand Hall. Please note that this event is unfortunately not accessible for people with limited mobility.

Christoph Prégardien. Michael Gees Liebst du das Dunkel?

For decades, lyric tenor Christoph Prégardien has cultivated a wide repertoire and diverse artistic activity. His vocal nobility, stylistic sensitivity, and psychological nuance make his interpretations of oratorios and song cycles exceptional. He premiered Wolfgang Rihm's song cycle "Das Rot" in 1991. Schubert's last songs form another existential counterpart.
