lautten compagney BERLIN: "Der Tod Jesu"

Date & Time
Sat, Apr 19, 2025, 18:00
For many years, Carl Heinrich Graun's "The Death of Jesus" was a staple of Berlin's concert life, performed nearly continuously during Easter since its 1755 premiere. By the late 19th century, Bach's Passions eclipsed Graun's oratorio, leading to its obscurity. This Sophienkirche concert, part of the 2025 Easter Festival, offers a rediscovery of this forgotten masterpiece.

Rolando Villazón is not only a gifted world tenor, director and head of the Salzburger Mozartwoche, but also a cultural ambassador for Mexico, caricaturist, novelist and presenter. He recently delighted ProArte audiences with his Latin American song recital alongside harpist Xavier de Maistre. He now returns to ProArte’s »Great Voices« series with the period ensemble lautten compagney BERLIN: together they take us on a moving musical journey into the world of Claudio Monteverdi and his subtle compositional miniatures from 17th century Venice.

Singer Lucia Cadotsch and her trio ‘Speak Low’ captivate with their gentle, feather-light, unpretentious music, while the quartet of pianist and composer Julia Hülsmann is characterised by a style that is both intense and subtle. Kurt Rosenwinkel, who has worked with musicians such as Eric Clapton, Gary Burton and Brad Mehldau, is one of the most important voices on the Berlin and global jazz scene as a guitarist, composer and producer.

Sun, Apr 20, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Chor Hamburg, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Hansjörg Albrecht (Director)
The Magnificat by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, in which Mary expresses her love for God, but in which Mary is also celebrated as the epitome of love among mankind, forms the jubilant prelude to the final concert of this year’s International Bach Festival Hamburg with its youthful fire. In this concert, father and son face each other. Can the younger one stand up to the comparison with the older one? Can the son emancipate himself from the father with whom he was trained and learnt? The performers for this musical comparison are the Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Choir Hamburg, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and Hansjörg Albrecht.

Musikfest Berlin: Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz

Sat, Sep 14, 2024, 20:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Joana Mallwitz (Conductor), Sarah Aristidou (Soprano), Tamara Stefanovich (Piano), Christina Bauer (Sound design)
For the second time in a row, the Konzerthausorchester and chief conductor Joana Mallwitz will be guests at the Musikfest. The solo parts in both works on the programme will be sung by the French-Cypriot soprano Sarah Aristidou, who has made a name for herself particularly in the field of contemporary music. In 1971, composer Luigi Nono met with artists and politicians in Chile, including Luciano Cruz Aguayo, one of the leaders of the Revolutionary Left. Back in Italy, he learnt of the young man's accidental death. Nono then composed a kind of ‘secular requiem’ for the activist, which was intended not only to convey grief but also the motivation to continue his social struggle. To this end, the composer set a memorial poem by Julio Huasi to Luciano, which was also given the title ‘Como una ola de fuerza y luz’ (Like a wave of strength and light). Among Mahler's symphonies, No. 4 is comparatively straightforward in terms of instrumentation and length. There is ‘much laughter’ in it, the composer assured us in a letter after its completion in 1901. However, the feeling that hilarity and horror exist side by side and that the idyll is not to be trusted creeps in as soon as the retuned solo violin plays in the second movement. And if you listen very carefully to the text of the ambiguous Wunderhorn song ‘Das himmlische Leben’, you will learn that, at least for the ox and lamb, heaven in the land of milk and honey is not full of violins, as a German saying goes.

On Pentecost Sunday, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin will swarm out into the countryside to make music in the open air in the Gardens of the World. The park not only offers a refuge for flora from all over the world, but is also a charming place to recharge your batteries musically on a personal walk between the continents.In addition to a work by Boris Filanovsky, which is literally composed for a passing audience, various ensembles of the orchestra, spread across the extensive grounds, create small musical oases, sometimes entertaining, sometimes contemplative or as if from another world.The concert is included in park admission.Boris Filanovsky „Arkhitekton Lambda“ At the “Gräserband” crossroads next to the “Promenade Aquatica” water gardens Approx. 2.00 – 2.35 pmAbout the piece: Arkhitekton is the general name for three-dimensional cubist abstractions developed by Kazimir Malevich. Malevich labelled them in Greek letters and regarded them as a three-dimensional version of the “movement of painterly masses and planes”.In a spatial composition, the listener is usually either at the intersection of sound streams or has to move from one isolated sound object to another. Here, however, the orchestra appears as a complex body of sound that cannot be heard in its entirety from a single point, so that the listener has to move around and gradually change the acoustic focus. The result can therefore hardly be described as a musical work; here we are dealing with a kind of analogy to the “movement of painterly masses and planes” that I have tried to unfold in time and sound.Paul Hindemith “Little Chamber Music for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon op 24 No.2” In the flower theatre Approx. 2.45 pm & 3.25 pm (15 min. each)Benjamin Britten „Metamorphosen nach Ovid“ In the Chinese garden by the stone boat Approx. 2.45 pm & 3.25 pm (15 min. each) Joseph Hadyn „Lerchen Quartett“ In the Renaissance garden Approx. 3.05 pm & 3.45 pm (20 min. each) Brass Quintet Meadow next to the Japanese Garden Approx. 3.05 pm & 3.45 pm (20 min. each)

Musikfest Berlin 2024

Fri, Sep 6, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin (Berlin)
Kazuki Yamada (Conductor), Julian Prégardien (Tenor), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
Many people consider Julian Prégardien a Frenchman, but in fact he comes from a clan of tenors from Frankfurt. He first sang to praise the Lord as a choirboy; as a teenager, he was crazy about the rock band Nirvana. But he ultimately could not escape the family genes: a Berliner by choice, he has become a modern singer with a melts-in-your-mouth tenor voice. At the Musikfest Berlin he will transform into Mahler’s wayfarer in love, yearning for the »blue eyes of my beloved«, as it says in one of the songs.
