Karina Canellakis | Camilla Nylund

Fri, Nov 27, 2020, 20:30
Philharmonie im Gasteig (München)
Karina Canellakis (Conductress), Camilla Nylund (Soprano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
The concert opens with Serenade in E-flat major for 13 wind instruments (op. 7), composed by Richard Strauss at the age of 17. This journeyman piece already sparkles with the typical Straussian inflection. His Four Lieder of 1894 (op. 27), sung by Camilla Nylund, are gems of the late-romantic repertoire. Five years later Arnold Schoenberg wrote his string sextet Transfigured Night after a poem by Richard Dehmel. Poised between late romanticism and the burgeoning modern era, this gripping work was arranged for string orchestra in 1917, producing an even more sophisticated interplay of solo and ensemble passages.

Karina Canellakis conducts the Concertgebouw Orchestra: Wagner & Sibelius

Wed, Oct 16, 2024, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Karina Canellakis (Conductor), Augustin Hadelich (Violin)
Richard Wagner championed the larger than life. In Tristan und Isolde, he aims his telescope at a young couple in love. Their passion is too great for this earthly world, resulting in extremely sensual music. The passion embodied by Sibelius’s only Violin Concerto is more restrained. It is not a typically virtuoso work, but rather a dream journey through a mysterious orchestral landscape. The refined and sensitive violinist Augustin Hadelich is our guide in this performance.Karina Canellakis has saved the rapturous climax for the very end. Le poème de l’extase is one of the most extraordinary works composed by the already exceptional Aleksandr Scriabin, for whom music served as ‘a bridge to the beyond’. This work explores a spiritual world that others can only dream of – but Scriabin places the listener right at the very centre of it all, with the orchestra producing a kaleidoscope of dazzling colour.
