Venue

Pictures can tell the greatest stories. But can a symphony orchestra sound like baby chicks just about to hatch from their eggshells? Like an old castle? Or like an oxcart rolling along? The Junge Symphoniker Hamburg invite you on a journey of discovery for the ears to the sounds of Modest Mussorgsky’s »Pictures at an Exhibition«. A family concert for young and old – recommended from the age of five.

The Junge Symphoniker Hamburg, conducted by Daniel Kirchmann, will be performing two works by great composers in their spring concert programme: the orchestra will begin the concert with an elegant yet fateful work by Ludwig van Beethoven: his Third Piano Concerto is in C minor, the same key as the Fifth Symphony, which gave the work a huge boost in popularity as an early example of the »heroic phase« of the titan of Viennese classical music. The solo part will be performed by the young Japanese pianist Yoichiro Chiba, who recently won third place in the Possehl Music Competition at the Lübeck Musikhochschule. A real triumph after great disappointment was the Second Symphony for Sergei Rachmaninov, which is performed in the second part of the concert: with this highly emotional work, the composer finally overcame a creative crisis that had overtaken him after the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony. In the Second, he wanted to do everything better - and did so successfully: the symphony remains one of Rachmaninov’s most popular works to this day. Composed shortly after the famous Second Piano Concerto, it shares its rapturous tone and gripping melody.

Mysteriöse Todesfälle sind in der Klassik keine Seltenheit! Mord und Totschlag gehören zur Tagesordnung. Da rollen die Köpfe, Menschen werden erschossen, erhängt und vergiftet. Bei diesem Krimikonzert läuft die Sache völlig aus dem Ruder, und die Grenzen zwischen Spiel und Realität verschwimmen. Eigentlich soll es ein Konzert mit kriminalistischen Anekdoten aus der Klassikwelt geben, doch dann hält ein Mord im Backstage die Musiker:innen und Juri Tetzlaff auf der Bühne in Atem. Alle stehen unter Verdacht, niemand darf den Saal verlassen, bis der Kriminalfall gelöst ist. Ein Konzert mit köstlichen Klassikhäppchen, garniert mit kriminalistischen Knobelaufgaben. Ein Programm für Krimiliebhaber:innen, Klassikeinsteiger:innen und alle, die mal etwas Neues ausprobieren wollen. Angsthäsinnen und Angsthasen können zu Hause bleiben! Ein spannendendes und interaktives Krimikonzert für Jugendliche ab 16 und Erwachsene. Jüngere Zuhörer:innen mit starken Nerven sind natürlich aber auch willkommen.

Kurt Weill composed his Second Symphony in exile in France and the USA, having fled the National Socialists in Germany. In terms of style, he drew inspiration from the great German-speaking composers of the past, which is often interpreted as melancholic retrospection. Around 100 years earlier, a 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn visited the ruins of an abbey in Edinburgh and wrote to his parents about the experience: »Everything around is broken and mouldering and the bright sky shines in. I believe I have found the beginning of my Scottish symphony.« After this formative journey, almost 13 years would pass in which the musical memories of the country and its people matured into one of Mendelssohn’s most important symphonic works, his Symphony No. 3 in A minor.

Tumultuous, iridescent and mystical: the French composer Olivier Messiaen pulls out all the stops in his Turangalîla Symphony. Inspired by the Tristan legend, Messiaen’s work explores and expresses love and passion in all their facets. The title of this unique sound cosmos, Turangalîla, comes from Sanskrit and means »all at the same time, song of love, hymn to joy, time, movement, rhythm, life and death« (Messiaen). In addition to a huge orchestra and piano obligato (a very challenging part!), the full-length work requires a solo ondes Martenot, an electronic keyboard instrument with a sound similar to the human voice. A passionate and moving evening with music that, according to its creator, »knows delicateness and vehemence, love and impetuousness; (…) music of stained glass church windows, a whirl of complementary colours, a theological rainbow«.

Claude Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" is his most popular and first significant symphonic work. Its innovative form and synthesis of nature and fantasy make it a key work of its era. Based on a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, it depicts a faun awakening and recalling a flirtation with two nymphs. Debussy also composed "La Mer," evocative symphonic sketches inspired by the sea, reflecting his love for it and perhaps alluding to deeper metaphorical meanings of flowing and time.

Christoph Willibald Gluck's opera "Alceste" deeply impressed the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Years later, Mozart completed a symphonic trio. Franz Liszt, inspired by a drawing, revisited his symphonic poem form two decades later. Richard Wagner's "Tristan" prelude encapsulates the struggle of hopeless love.

Toru Takemitsu's "Signals from Heaven" (1987) for wind ensemble evokes a dialogue reminiscent of Venetian church music, drawing inspiration from nature and Duke Ellington. A Divertimento, attributed to Mozart but actually containing works by Starzer and Gluck, inspired Dvorak's Serenade in D minor after his 1877 Vienna visit. Composed in just two weeks, the Serenade premiered in 1878 to great acclaim. Rodion Shchedrin's popular Carmen Suite (1967), based on Bizet's opera, was written for his wife, Bolshoi ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, after Shostakovich and Khachaturian declined. She performed the role over 350 times, even at age 65.

Luciano Berio, a prominent 20th-century Italian composer, had a unique relationship with tradition, creating numerous arrangements and transcriptions of various composers. In his 1989 work "Rendering," based on Schubert's unfinished Symphony No. 10, his arranging and composing skills merge. Berio likened his restoration approach to that of frescoes, reviving old colors without hiding time's damage. 1907 was a devastating year for Mahler, marked by his daughter's death, a heart condition diagnosis, anti-Semitic attacks, and his resignation from the Vienna Court Opera. Seeking solace, he found "The Chinese Flute," which inspired "Das Lied von der Erde," his personal farewell to the world, with the final song, "Der Abschied," being the longest.

What a love-struck score: »Roméo et Juliette, dramatic symphony, with chorus, vocal solos and prologue as choral recitative, after Shakespeare’s tragedy, dedicated to Niccolò Paganini« – what a wealth of lyrical tones, what enchanting moments, even bizarre, irrational ones, what lush harmonies and ravishing melodic arcs! Its creator Hector Berlioz himself was in an exceptional state: »What a passionate life I led during this whole time! With what vigour I swam in this vast sea of poetry, caressed by the exuberant breeze of fantasy, under the warm rays of Shakespeare’s sun of love, and trusting in my strength to reach the wonderful island where the temple of pure art rises.« With »Roméo et Juliette«, Berlioz had – after a long search – finally created his symphonic theatre of dreams.
