A special song recital with the Monteverdi Choir Hamburg, the young star soprano Katharina Ruckgaber and the Salzburg tenor Virgil Hartinger: In Franz Schubert’s incredibly large oeuvre, the choral work is still one of the unpolished jewels of the concert repertoire. The audience can expect heart-rending love songs and contemplations of nature full of longing as well as devotional sacred music. The programme is complemented by humorous piano songs by Joseph Haydn about everyday things, such as unwanted chatter at a wine evening and harmony in marriage.

In this programme, the renowned Monteverdi Choir Hamburg presents songs by Robert Schumann. The a cappella programme is combined with texts by poets associated with Schumann, such as Robert Burns. Robert Schumann’s music is often very serious and an expression of his melancholy. This can also be heard in his choral compositions, but there is also a good dose of humour, such as in the choral compositions »Schön Rohtraut« and »Zahnweh«. The songs in this programme invite you to reflect and smile in equal measure. Sabine Rein recites suitable excerpts from letters or other testimonies from Schumann’s life. These are accompanied by testimonies from the poets whose verses he set to music.

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.

»Jauchzet, frohlocket« – for many people, Christmas would be unthinkable without this familiar cry of joy. Bach knows like no other how to capture the words of Luke’s Gospel surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ in musical images. Originally, the various cantatas were spread over different days and were performed on the corresponding public holidays. Today, they are usually grouped together to create a large, coherent Christmas picture. With Johann Sebastian Bach’s incomparable music, this third Advent becomes a musical and aesthetic preparation for Christmas.

The Franz Schubert Choir’s Christmas concert this year combines two masterpieces of choral music: the »Saint Nicolas Cantata« by Benjamin Britten and the »Oratorio de Noël« by Camille Saint-Saëns. Britten’s St Nicholas Cantata is characterised by rich harmonies, lively text painting and dramatic narration. It combines the sacred with the profane and takes the audience on a journey that traces the life and legacy of St Nicholas, the patron saint of children. Saint-Saëns makes the Christmas story resound radiantly and solemnly in his »Oratorio de Noël«. The musical beauty and sonorous interpretation of the text make this Christmas oratorio unmistakable and an important work of Romantic music. Under the direction of Christiane Hrasky, the Franz-Schubert-Chor Hamburg, outstanding soloists and the Hamburg Camerata will present the two pieces to the audience.

Born the son of a violonist, Antonio Vivaldi received violin lessons at an early age. In 1703, at the age of 25, he became a music teacher at the »Ospedale della Pietà«, an orphanage for young girls. There he gave his pupils music lessons every day from an early age. As a result, most of the girls were able to play two or three instruments and were also familiar with solo singing. Vivaldi remained at the school until 1716, where he not only taught, but also composed concertos and oratorios for the weekly performances. The orchestra of the Ospedale soon gained a legendary reputation that extended beyond the country’s borders and attracted numerous travellers to Italy. »The most remarkable music here in Venice is that of the hospitals,« reported the French scholar Charles de Brosses in a letter dated August 1739. »There are four of them, all inhabited by illegitimate daughters or orphan girls, or those whom their parents are unable to bring up. They are brought up at the expense of the state, and are trained to excel in music. They sing like angels and play the violin, flute, organ, oboe, violoncello, in short, no instrument is so big that it would frighten them. They live in seclusion like nuns. About 40 of them take part in every concert. I assure you, there is nothing more attractive than the sight of a pretty young nun, in a white habit and with a bunch of pomegranates behind her ear, conducting an orchestra and beating time with the greatest grace and precision.« The eroticising effect of such women’s concerts can also be seen in the fact that a not inconsiderable number of male concertgoers use these events to look for a bride... Such depictions of girls and young women as both talented musicians and objects of male desire reveal a deeply rooted patriarchal view. The male gaze reduces the female figure to a projection surface for fantasies – a perception that was reinforced in Vivaldi’s time by the staging of the girls in the concerts of the Ospedale della Pietà, where they had to play behind metal bars. Against this backdrop, the concert will focus on and honour the artistic achievements of the young women.

Bam! – »Oooooo Fortuuuna!« – Boom! That’s how the »Carmina Burana« begins. These are the »Songs from Beuern«, song texts from a medieval manuscript that was discovered in 1803 in the Benediktbeuern monastery. They contain cheerful, humorous, but also coarse texts: Monks take out good German citizens in a game of dice, there is drinking, feasting, banter and ... making love. Strong stuff, then. But the aforementioned Fortuna – fate – played these very texts into Carl Orff’s hands in 1934 when he discovered an edition of them by chance in a second-hand bookshop – and was immediately electrified. Orff was inspired by the medieval aura of the »Carmina« and found ways to evoke the feeling of the Middle Ages. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Francis Poulenc had a mischievous streak in his neck. Contemporaries accused him of lacking seriousness in his Gloria – and indeed, movements two and four are quite jokey. He was called a »monk and rascal« because he was also capable of serious inner reflection. He considered his music to be as cheerful and pious as monks playing soccer, which he had once observed. The other movements of the Gloria show other typical characteristics of Francis Poulenc’s music: heroic sound with timpani and trumpets at the beginning, intimate sounds with woodwinds, solo singing and choir in the third movement and a large, softer sound in the finale. Poulenc himself said: »I believe I have brought the best and most credible aspect of myself into my choral music.«
