Venue

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Our honorary conductor Iván Fischer is a guarantee for unusual programmes. This time, he and the Konzerthausorchester will perform works by four composers who were ostracised and persecuted by the National Socialists and whose works shaped the avant-garde of the interwar period. Paul Hindemith, Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler found their way to the United States via detours, but Erwin Schulhoff was interned in Prague, deported and died of tuberculosis in a camp in Bavaria.

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer (Conductor), Vocalconsort Berlin, Samuel Mariño (Soprano), Deniz Uzun (Mezzo-Soprano)

Mozart's “Magic Flute” is a masterpiece of the 18th century that reflects the moral concepts of the time with regard to the roles of men and women. Iván Fischer wants to confront parts of this favorite opera with 21st century values. He concentrates on well-known arias and scenes: Reversed gender roles of central characters invite an unexpected new listening experience as well as reflection. For example, a King of the Night, interpreted by the outstanding countertenor Samuel Mariño, appears as the antagonist of the powerful Sarastra, sung by Deniz Uzun. Iván Fischer also plays with the music itself, for example when he has the famous overture performed not only by the Konzerthausorchester but also by the Vocalconsort Berlin.

Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer (Conductor)

Of light and shadow: The 19-year-old Franz Schubert's third symphony in D major, which is cheerful and at times like a folk song, was written for a private circle in 1815 and probably premiered there, is followed by Anton Bruckner's tragic last work, his unfinished ninth in D minor. He worked on the finale of this symphony, which continues the weighty tradition of its eight predecessors, until his death in 1896. He fervently hoped to be able to finish the last movement and even spoke of it to his doctor. Because the apartment was sealed too late after his death, all kinds of authorized and unauthorized persons immediately pounced on the existing manuscript pages. Its creator, however, had finally realized that his strength and time would not be enough to complete it. He therefore decreed that his “Te Deum”, completed twelve years earlier, should be played instead of the fourth movement. However, the symphony is often simply performed unfinished. Incidentally, Iván Fischer and the Konzerthausorchester already played Bruckner's monumental Ninth in 2013.

Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer (Conductor), Kirill Gerstein (Piano)

Leonard Bernstein combined classical music, jazz, show music and folk music from various communities to create distinctive musicals that were successful around the globe. George Gershwin also combines classical concert and jazz, and his music is at home on Broadway and in Carnegie Hall. Pianist Kirill Gerstein performs Gershwin's world hit „Rhapsody in Blue“ as a soloist with the Konzerthausorchester under Iván Fischer. From the New World, we travel to old Europe, to France. However, nothing sounds old here: Darius Milhaud's cheerful „Ox on the Roof“, driven by Brazilian rhythms, which of course sounds much more elegant as the French „boeuf sur le toit“, is followed by two of Erik Satie's meditative piano miniatures arranged for orchestra. Finally, eerie undertones pervade Maurice Ravel's „La Valse“. First performed in 1920, this waltz is both a dance of death and an ironic homage to the 19th century.

Leonard Bernstein combined classical music, jazz, show music and folk music from various communities. The songs from his vibrant New York Romeo and Juliet story „West Side Story“ have been loved by audiences since 1957. George Gershwin also combines classical concertos and jazz, and his music has found a home on Broadway and in Carnegie Hall.

Herkulessaal (München)

Iván Fischer (Conductor), Christiane Karg (Soprano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

A Beethoven festival with Iván Fischer! This Hungarian conductor has acquired international fame for his readings of the classical-romantic repertoire and makes guest appearances with all the great orchestras. His BRSO programme features the Eighth Symphony, full of merriment and understated humour, and the Fifth, where Fate knocks at the door and the almost martial finale seems to find the composer “grabbing destiny by the throat”. Between these two mutually contradictory masterpieces is the revenge aria Ah! Perfido!, to words by Pietro Metastasio. The soprano is Christiane Karg.

Iván Fischer (Conductor), Hanno Müller-Brachmann (Bariton), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

They were born in the same year (1860), enrolled at Vienna Conservatory at the same time and temporarily lived in the same flat: Gustav Mahler and Hugo Wolf. Then their paths led them in completely different directions: Mahler advanced to become the most successful conductor and greatest symphonist of his era, while Wolf, having failed in other genres, devoted his creative energy to the art song, in which field he left behind a uniquely vibrant oeuvre. As was common in his day, Wolf orchestrated several of his own lieder. Our programme reunites these two disparate contemporaries and shows what they composed at the same time: Mahler’s First and Wolf’s settings of Goethe and Mörike were all written around the year 1888.
