Der Text: stammt aus der Bibel. Die Form: ein geistliches Oratorium. Und dennoch könnte Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdys »Elias« genauso gut auf einer Opernbühne stattfinden. So packend, so dramatisch und so theatralisch erzählt der Komponist die Geschichte dieses zutiefst menschlichen Propheten.Der zweifelt, leidet und grämt sich, stellt sich furchtlos den Anhängern von Baal und dem selbstherrlichen König Ahab entgegen, rettet auf wundersame Weise ein Kind, beendet eine Dürre und fährt am Ende spektakulär in einem Feuerwagen gen Himmel auf.

Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio, composed between 1734 and 1735, is a monumental work celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Each part, from the announcement of the birth to the adoration of the kings, corresponds to a specific liturgical period. Rich music, including festive choruses, intimate arias, and vivid orchestrations, makes this a timeless masterpiece.

Ronald Brautigam | Die Kölner Akademie | Michael Alexander Willens

Sun, Mar 30, 2025, 16:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Ronald Brautigam (Pianoforte), Die Kölner Akademie (Ensemble), Michael Alexander Willens (Conductor)
When Ronald Brautigam plays the fortepiano, even familiar pieces sound excitingly new. His uncompromising playing has led to the re-evaluation of prominent composers. He performs classics like Mozart with passion, sometimes thundering the keys, sometimes coaxing a wealth of colors from the instrument. Since 2009, he's collaborated with the Kölner Akademie and Michael Alexander Willens, recording acclaimed complete sets of Mozart and Beethoven piano concertos. The Cologne-based orchestra also performs Louise Farrenc's 1st Symphony, a rare successful female composer of the 19th century.
