Mahler Chamber Orchestra | Raphaël Pichon

Date & Time
Wed, May 28, 2025, 20:00
Franz Schubert considered his two-movement Symphony in B minor a complete masterpiece. However, it would become known as the "Unfinished" Symphony. French conductor Raphaël Pichon and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra celebrate Schubert alongside Mendelssohn's "Scottish" Symphony, reflecting his travels. Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll" was a birthday gift to his wife Cosima, drawing inspiration from his opera "Siegfried".

Diverse tonal colours, intense emotions: These qualities characterise the music of the Romantic period.

Franz Schubert is featured, with his lyrical and intriguing “Unfinished” Symphony and melancholy “Lacrimoso son io”; also on the programme are Mendelssohn's liltingly lively “Scottish”’ Symphony and Richard Wagner's Siegfried Idyll: a tender declaration of love to his wife Cosima. Raphaël Pichon, best-known for his refreshing approach to early music, conducts.

Mahler Chamber Orchestra / Sir Simon Rattle

Thu, May 16, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor)
»The truth about Mozart’s music is that it’s deeply emotional and passionate and dark and menacing and happy like no other music that has ever been written«, says no lesser figure than Sir Simon Rattle. Now the rostrum star presents all these facets in two concerts with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra devoted to Mozart’s symphonic legacy. »Extreme human emotions crowd into the smallest space here«, says Rattle. Extremes that can now be heard live in the Elbphilharmonie tonight. »No commission, no specific intention« motivated Mozart to write his last three symphonies – thus Mozart biographer Alfred Einstein. Composed in the space of a single year, they should be understood rather as »an appeal to eternity«. Either way, these are pinnacles of the classical symphony repertoire, where the composer displayed his entire palette one more time. For their guest appearance at the Elbphilharmonie Rattle and the »MCO« have chosen the sunny Symphony in E flat and the brilliant C major Symphony, better known as the » Jupiter«.

Mahler Chamber Orchestra / Yuja Wang

Sat, Nov 23, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Yuja Wang (Piano), Yuja Wang (Director)
World leaders have joined forces here: exceptional pianist Yuja Wang and the acclaimed Mahler Chamber Orchestra have been »Artistic Partners« since early 2024 and as such already had their much-celebrated Elbphilharmonie prelude – »it was the pure, unrestrained, scintillating joy of playing« wrote the Hamburger Abendblatt. For their second joint concert on the Elbe, the orchestra and pianist have chosen a light-hearted programme, which celebrates the merging of classical music and jazz at the start of the 20th century with again two performances by Yuja Wang. Alexander Tsfasman can rightly be described as »Russia’s George Gershwin«. Very much as in Gershwin’s famous Rhapsody in Blue, in Tsfasman’s Jazz Suite laid-back swinging rhythms and typical jazz harmonies encounter the breakneck virtuosity of the solo piano – and a good dash of romantic melodiousness in the style of Rachmaninov. Maurice Ravel was also fascinated by jazz, which he had experienced at a concert tour in the USA. Yuja Wang is also on the piano here for Ravel’s piano concerto, which sprinkles jazz harmonies into wonderfully dreamy French impressionism. The two orchestral pieces always let the contemporary shine through, but are actually based on old musical forms: in his »Tombeau de Couperin«, Ravel gives a nod to baroque dances and styles for a suite and Stravinsky considered concerti grossi such as J.S. Bach wrote when composing his orchestral concerto. The instruments emerge in groups or even individually as a solo – the speciality of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, which sees itself as a unique collective characterised by chamber music.

Mitsuko Uchida / Mahler Chamber Orchestra

Sun, Jan 26, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Mitsuko Uchida (Piano), Mitsuko Uchida (Director)
Mitsuko Uchida is one of the greatest Mozart interpreters of our time. The Classical composer’s piano concertos form the centrepiece of her collaboration with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, with which the Japanese pianist has been closely associated as an »Artistic Partner« since 2016. In their joint programmes, two of Mozart’s 27 piano concertos each frame the work of a different composer. In the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall, the rhythmic 18th and the colourful 21st frame Leoš Janáček’s wind sextet Mládí (»Youth«). Mozart wrote these two piano concertos in the space of just one year. In 1784/1785, the composer in his late 20s was riding a wave of success as one of Vienna’s leading pianists, offering his public ample opportunity to marvel at his skills as a virtuoso and composer. The wind sextet by Czech composer Janáček, on the other hand, can be seen as »a kind of reminiscence of youth«. It was composed in 1924 during a three-week stay in his birthplace Hukvaldy, and looks back on his »youth» on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Mahler Chamber Orchestra: Music from the New World

Thu, Sep 5, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Mahler Chamber Orchestra (Orchestra), Antonello Manacorda (Conductor), Anna Prohaska (Soprano)
Antonello Manacorda and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra open our International Chamber Orchestra series with music from the “New World”. Anton Dvorak’s Ninth Symphony, written in New York, clearly expresses the influences of both indigenous and African American melodies – although the work is also unmistakably Bohemian in colour. 2024 marks the 150th birthday of the brilliant Charles Ives, the first American composer to gain truly global recognition. Anna Prohaska sings selected songs by Ives, juxtaposed with songs by Gustav Mahler, his European contemporary.

Anna Vinnitskaya | MCO Academy | Mahler Chamber Orchestra | Elim Chan

Sun, Feb 16, 2025, 18:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Anna Vinnitskaya (Piano), MCO Academy (Ensemble), Mahler Chamber Orchestra (Ensemble), Elim Chan (Conductor)
Shostakovich and Prokofiev often faced Soviet art critics, but quickly appeased them. Prokofiev with his heroic Fifth Symphony, and Shostakovich with his highly virtuosic 2nd Piano Concerto, brilliantly performed by Russian pianist Anna Vinnitskaya. Vinnitskaya, who won the ECHO Klassik award in 2014 for her recording of the concerto, now performs it with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Prokofiev's 5th Symphony, composed in 1944, also displays combative traits, reflecting the Soviet army's impending victory.

Marianne Crebassa | MCO Academy | Mahler Chamber Orchestra | Riccardo Minasi

Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 18:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)

Gustav Mahler gehört unbestritten zur musikalischen DNA des Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Dessen Dritte ist eine der längsten Sinfonien der Musikgeschichte. Eine ganze Welt wollte er damit erschaffen, am Ende hat er eine sinfonische Kosmologie auf dem Notenpapier konzipiert, mit einem Blick von unserer in die jenseitige Welt.In diesem Sinfonien-Kosmos wiegen sich die Blumen im Wind und es ertönt der charakteristische Ruf des Kuckucks. Später betritt der Mensch diese Welt, im mysteriösen Solo der Alt-Stimme, das hier der französischen Mezzosopranistin Marianne Crebassa anvertraut ist. Aber auch die eindrucksvollen Bergmassive, von denen Mahler beim Komponieren am Attersee umgeben war, klingen aus dieser Partitur. Und von deren Gipfeln ist es nur ein kleiner Schritt zum Gesang der drei Engel im Himmel, begleitet vom Klang von sechs Glocken, die zur riesigen Orchesterbesetzung gehören.
