A Tribute to Bellini

Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 20:00
Deutsche Oper Berlin, Tischlerei (Berlin)
Above all, their long, wistful melodies made Vincenzo Bellini's operas the epitome of musical romanticism in Italy and arias such as Norma's "Casta Diva" still characterise our concept of sung emotion today. Elda Laro, répétiteur, pianist and conductor at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, is a self-confessed Bellini fan and introduces us to the world of the Sicilian composer in the concert programme "A tribute to Bellini", which she conceived and presents together with members of the orchestra and ensemble of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.

NOSPR / Alsop / Requiem as a tribute

Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Marin Alsop (Conductor), NOSPR, NFM Choir, Lionel Sow (NFM Choir Art Director), Pierre-Louis de Laporte (Choir preparation), Erica Eloff (Soprano), Ben McAteer (Bariton), Szymon Nehring (Piano), Zuzanna Nalewajek (Alto)
“It is with greatest ease and willingness that I am working on this Concerto and, nota bene, I feel that this is going to be a first-class trick” – these words from a letter by Karol Szymanowski are proof of how important the Symphony No. 4 was for the composer. It was his unfulfilled dream of a “true” piano concerto. One of a pianistic tour de force, the first sketches of which he dropped to focus on the Stabat Mater he was working on back then. The moving „Peasant Requiem” (such was the title Szymanowski had originally intended for the work), born out of the pain he experienced after his niece’s death, it brings together religious ecstasy and a note of the Polish folklore to be heard in a recollection of the popular Bitter Lamentations resonating in the composer’s memory.How different was that world from the instrumental Chaconne by Krzysztof Penderecki! The latter is an expressive musical tribute to the memory of the late Polish Pope. It was this piece that provided a symbolic closure for the Polish Requiem, which Penderecki had been working on for a quarter of a century – a monumental chronicle of Poland’s modern history, the melancholic finale of which contains both a nostalgia for the baroque tradition and emotions of a surprisingly romantic nature.Róża ŚwiatczyńskaConcert duration (intermission included): approximately 90 minutes

Oratorienchor Köln

Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 18:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Katharina Leyhe (Soprano), Lina Hoffmann (Alto), Stefan Sbonnik (Tenor), Timothy Edlin (Bass), Oratorienchor Köln (Ensemble), Camerata Louis Spohr, Joachim Geibel (Conductor)
Johannes Brahms galt als eher ernster, ja sogar etwas eigenbrötlerischer Komponist, während Franz von Suppè vor allem für die leichte Muse steht, gilt er doch als Schöpfer der Wiener Operette. In diesem Konzert richtet der Oratorienchor Köln den Blick auf eine weniger bekannte Seite des Komponisten.Franz von Suppès »Requiem« ist nicht mehr als eine Fußnote in der Musikgeschichte – und doch ein ganz erstaunliches Werk, das die kontrapunktische Kunstfertigkeit seines Schöpfers zeigt, der übrigens denselben Tonsatz-Lehrer hatte wie Anton Bruckner und Franz Schubert. Eindrucksvoll blasen die Posaunen zum jüngsten Gericht, hier ist der Komponist hörbar von Mozarts »Requiem« inspiriert. Mit den teils opernhaften Zügen verweist er aber auch schon auf das 20 Jahre später entstandene »Requiem« von Verdi, während Brahms’ »Schicksalslied« im Anschluss an sein erfolgreiches »Deutsches Requiem« entstand.

Countless composers have worked and been inspired in the bustling metropolis of New York, including George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber and John Corigliano, all of whom have captured in one way or another the soul of the city in their work.The concert’s soloist is jazz singer Rigmor Gustafsson, who took the step from the forests of Värmland to the pavement of New York, settling afterwards in Stockholm to perform on Europe’s stages.Join us on a musical journey to the Big Apple – the city that never sleeps!

Stockholm Jazz Festival – A tribute to Georg Riedel

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Sarah Riedel (Vocals), Channa Riedel (Vocals), Nicolai Dunger (Vocals), Carl Bagge (Leader), Carl Bagge (Piano), Patrik Skogh (Trumpet), Nils Janson (Trumpet), Tobias Wiklund (Trumpet), Emil Strandberg (Trumpet), Agnes Darelid (Trombone), Staffan Findin (Trombone), Mats Äleklint (Trombone), Lisa Bodelius (Trombone), Per ”Ruskträsk” Johansson (Saxophon), Fredrik Ljungkvist (Saxophon), Nils Berg (Saxophon), Jonas Kullhammar (Saxophon), Fredrik Lindborg (Saxophon), Viktor Skokic (Bass), Konrad Agnas (Drums), Mats Bergström (Guitar), Nils Landgren (Compère)
Welcome to a star-studded and poignant tribute to Georg Riedel, one of the greatest musicians and composers of Swedish jazz. Radiojazzgruppen’s Nisse Landgren hosts the evening and pianist Calle Bagge conducts a house band featuring elite members of the Swedish jazz scene, as well as vocalists including Nicolai Dunger and Sarah Riedel.With the passing on 25 February this year of jazz bassist, composer and arranger Georg Riedel at 90 years of age, one of the most versatile composers of Swedish music fell silent.Georg Riedel composed music for Astrid Lindgren’s films, as well as innovative jazz for Radiojazzgruppen and his own duos, trios and quartets. His oeuvre includes opera, orchestral works and music for films, ballet and church services. He is among the musicians who brought Swedish folk music to jazz stages. Jazz på Svenska (“Jazz in Swedish”), his album with Jan Johansson, is the most sold Swedish jazz album.To celebrate this doyen of jazz, Stockholm Jazz Festival presents a full evening at Stockholm Konserthuset, in which a wide selection of Riedel’s compositions will be performed by carefully selected artists – many of whom worked with the man himself over the past 20 years. This retrospective of Riedel’s work will link the golden age of the 1950s to contemporary jazz of the 2020s.“Georg Riedel’s contribution is utterly massive, and so is the empty space he has left behind. But his music will live on, now and forever. It therefore feels particularly gratifying to open this year’s jazz festival with an evening that pays tribute to him,” says Eric Birath, CEO of Stockholm Jazz Festival.Read more about Stockholm Jazz Festival (opens in a new window)
