Pocket Opera: Lohengrin / Axel Brüggemann

The Solistenensemble D’Accord has garnered international attention in recent years with their one-hour opera versions. With »Lohengrin«, »Tristan und Isolde« and »Tannhäuser« in the pocket-opera format, the ensemble has given performances in Wagner’s villa Wahnfried during the Bayreuth Festival, at Hohenschwangau Castle, where Wagner visited King Ludwig II., and at the Elbphilharmonie in October 2021. The versions performed were programmed by orchestras such as the Iceland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Festival

»I feel air from other planets« – so begins a poem by Stefan George, the poet who once stood for such an admired departure into modernity that a composer like Arnold Schönberg set some of his poems to music early on. Schönberg and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach were both avant-gardists in the best sense of the word. Both shared an emotional, technical, but also idealistic connection to the traditions from which they came. And both sought the development of art and artistic expression as a reflection of their time, developing a new musical language in the process. Schönberg (born in 1874) turned towards expressionism and later towards atonality, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (born in 1714) towards an enlightened understanding of music and as a pioneer and trailblazer for the music of Viennese Classicism. And as Arnold Schönberg and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach are both celebrating milestone birthdays this year, the Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Choir Hamburg congratulates them with this concert.

Brahms im Sextett

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is a regular guest at the Arolsen Palace Concerts. This time, musicians will present Brahms' two string sextets. These masterpieces helped the young Brahms achieve his musical breakthrough. Despite later dismissing them as "long, sentimental pieces," they captivate audiences with their irresistible sound and melodic beauty.

Brahms im Sextett

Die Streichsextette von Johannes Brahms gehören zu den Meisterwerken der Streicher-Literatur. Neben dem »Deutschen Requiem« sind sie es, die dem jungen Brahms einst den musikalischen Durchbruch brachten. Auch wenn er sie selbst in späteren Jahren als »lange, sentimentale Stücke« geringschätzte, faszinieren sie in ihrem unwiderstehlichen Klangreiz und ihrer melodischen Schönheit noch heute – und man darf und sollte sie auf keinen Fall verpassen.Konzertdauer: ca. 105 Minuten – inklusive Pause

Brahms im Sextett

In Wächtersbach ist das hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt mit seinen Kammerkonzerten erstmals zu Gast. Zur Premiere wird dabei ganz große Kammermusik von Brahms präsentiert. Sein B-Dur-Streichsextett und sein G-Dur-Streichsextett gehören zu den Meisterwerken der Streicher-Kammermusik. Neben dem »Deutschen Requiem« waren sie es letztlich, die dem jungen Brahms zu seinem musikalischen Durchbruch verhalfen. Auch wenn er sie selbst später als »lange, sentimentale Stücke« geringschätzte, faszinieren sie bis heute durch ihren unwiderstehlichen Klangreiz und ihre melodische Schönheit.

Brahms im Sextett

The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is a regular guest in Alsfeld with its chamber concerts. This time, musicians from the orchestra will present Johannes Brahms' two string sextets. The String Sextet in B flat major, Op. 18, and the String Sextet in G major, Op. 36, are among the masterpieces of string chamber music. Alongside the "German Requiem", they ultimately helped the young Brahms achieve his musical breakthrough. Even though he later dismissed them as "long, sentimental pieces," they continue to fascinate with their irresistible tonal appeal and melodic beauty.
