Mahler's Symphony No. 5 & Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3

Thu, Sep 12, 2024, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Mahler Academy Orchestra, Philipp von Steinaecker (Conductor), Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano)
What did Mahler's Fifth Symphony sound like at the beginning of the last century? The Mahler Academy Orchestra, attached to the Gustav Mahler Academy in Bolzano, sheds new light on performance practice in Mahler's time with the Originalklang-Project. The orchestra consists partly of academics and partly of professional musicians, drawn from the best European orchestras. In Toblach, where Mahler composed his last symphonic works, they mastered playing on original Viennese instruments from around 1900 under the direction of Philipp von Steinaecker. The strings use gut strings; the woodwind and brass play on instruments Mahler acquired during his time as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic.Norwegian star pianist Leif Ove Andsnes will solo in Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto. Fun fact: Mahler conducted this work at the New York Philharmonic in 1910 with Rachmaninoff himself as soloist. The Mahler Academy Orchestra's concert is a prelude to the Mahler Festival in May 2025.Originalklang with original text: first performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony in the new critical edition by Breitkopf & Härtel.

SOLD OUT: Beethoven: Piano Concerto in E flat major and Symphony No. 5

Fri, Jan 19, 2024, 20:00
Konzerthalle Bamberg, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal (Bamberg)
Jakub Hrůša (Conductor), Lukas Sternath (Piano)
Ludwig van Beethoven: genius, freethinker and troubled soul – as well as a master of coping with crises through music. In 1809, he lamented: »We have experienced a rather crowded misery. The entire course of events has affected my body and soul. What a destructive, desolate life around me! Nothing but drums, cannons, all kinds of human misery!« At that time, he was greatly distressed by the current situation, as Vienna was occupied by Napoleon's troops. Food shortages, the black market and inflation were making life difficult for the people. Beethoven often sought shelter in the cellar – and put pillows over his head to avoid hearing the noise. But despite these unfavourable conditions, he wrote his great Fifth Piano Concerto: a gigantic work that gives the impression as if he wanted to drown out the chaos of war with the power and splendour of his music. For long segments, it spreads a belligerent sound – but with the Adagio, a very contemplative movement is interwoven: Beethoven is said to have been thinking of the »chants of devout pilgrims«. These fragmented states of mind are already pervasive in his Fifth Symphony, which was premiered a year earlier and can certainly be understood as a statement on the political fate of Europe at that time. With its famous obsessive motif, the work is at first full of anxiety and emotional complexity over long stretches. But an astounding inner force is able to find its way out of the initial darkness and into the ever brightening light. Like Beethoven wrote in one of his conversation books, which he used because of his deafness and in which he also collected essential ideas: »With music I have transformed my suffering into hope«.
