Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Nils Mönkemeyer / Kent Nagano

Sun, May 5, 2024, 11:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Boglárka Pecze (Bass clarinet), Nils Mönkemeyer (Viola), Edicson Ruiz (Double bass), Kent Nagano (Conductor)

The Russian composer Vladimir Tarnopolski is certainly no stranger to contemporary music. His works have been performed at many major festivals over recent decades. He has received various prizes and released many of his works on CD. As a professor of composition at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he has also passed on his knowledge to a whole generation of young composers. »Im Dunkel vor der Dämmerung« (»In the Dark before Dawn«) is the title of a new work commissioned by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra and premiered in this concert. »Sinfonia Eroica« was the title Ludwig van Beethoven gave his third symphony in 1804, a »heroic symphony composed to celebrate the memory of a great man«. Whether or not this »great man« was to be little Napoleon? At first it was, in all likelihood. But Beethoven probably decided to leave out any corresponding dedication, since the Corsican’s personal coronation as emperor was, in the composer’s eyes, a bitter betrayal of the republican ideas of the French Enlightenment. Was Beethoven himself perhaps the hero? An innovator in the context of music history? Whatever the answer, he certainly breaks new ground with his »Eroica«.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Janine Jansen / Sakari Oramo

Sun, Nov 24, 2024, 11:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Janine Jansen (Violin), Sakari Oramo (Conductor)

As head of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Sakari Oramo regularly commutes between the UK and Sweden. He brings works from both countries with him to Hamburg. One is criminally underestimated in Germany and therefore played far too rarely, and another one has never been performed before. However, the programme opens with an excursion to the south: to Giuseppe Verdi and his overture from »La forza del destino«.
