The concert will be broadcast on Deutschlandfunk Kultur on 14 July 2024 at 8.03 pm.María Dueñas played Chant De La ‘Veslemoy’ by Johan Halvorsen as an encore.With a very heavy heart, Ms. Kopatchinskaja had to withdraw for personal reasons from this engagement. We are delighted that we have been able to win the exceptional violinist María Dueñas for this concert, who will be playing Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor op. 26.
We will be hearing more from Marie Jacquot! The Principal Guest Conductor of the Vienna Symphony – and Chief Conductor Designate of the WDR Symphony Orchestra – inspires musicians and audiences alike with fresh interpretations as well as with the stunningly brilliant sounds she knows how to elicit from »her« Viennese orchestra. In her ProArte programme, Jacquot demonstrates an awareness of tradition by opening the concert with a Bruckner arrangement by the orchestra’s founder Ferdinand Löwe. The rest of the programme is also all about Vienna: María Dueñas returns to ProArte after her brilliant debut in March 2024 with the violin concerto by Viennese-by-choice Ludwig van Beethoven. The crowning finale is a piano quartet by probably the most famous Viennese immigrant after Beethoven: the op. 25 by Johannes Brahms, arranged for orchestra by native Viennese Arnold Schönberg.
Wherever violinist María Dueñas (born in Granada in 2002) appears, audience and critics alike are full of enthusiasm. She is rightly perceived as an exceptional talent: the musician with mixed Austrian and Spanish roots impresses not only with an astonishing artistic maturity and a beautiful tone, but also with the cadenzas that she composes herself. After she won first prize at the 2021 Yehudi Menuhin Competition, Deutsche Grammophon immediately gave her an exclusive recording contract. She has devoted her first album to Beethoven’s Violin Concerto – the work she is playing in this concert. She is accompanied by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra with its newly-appointed chief conductor Kazuki Yamada, who follows in the footsteps of several great predecessors: Sir Simon Rattle, Andris Nelsons and Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.
Maria and Elisabetta: two queens fight for power and love. Between them stands Count Leicester, Elisabetta's lover, who is attracted to Maria. The two women meet in the park of Fotheringhay Castle - a duel of emotions, fought with the weapons of bel canto, coloratura on a knife's edge. In the end, the Catholic Maria will ascend the scaffold with her head held high, while the Protestant Elisabetta will keep her throne but lose her love.
