Haydn and Dvorák

Thu, Oct 10, 2024, 19:00
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ruth Reinhardt (Conductor), Julian Steckel (Cello)
Due to illness, cellist Amalie Stalheim has been forced to cancel. This also results in a programme change for tonight's concert. Instead of Grażyna Bacewicz’s First Cello Concerto, we will hear the German cellist Julian Steckel perform Haydn’s First Cello Concerto.The seas, lakes, streams, and rivers have always been important sources of inspiration for artists, poets, and composers. In Smetana's famous Moldau, celebrating its 200th anniversary, we hear how the bubbling smaller streams meander through the landscape before merging into the mighty river. The melody comes from an old folk song that we recognize as Ack Värmeland, du sköna. Perhaps Smetana heard the melody when he was working as a conductor in Gothenburg in the 1850s?Like Smetana, Antonín Dvorák was from Czechia. In both their music, Czech culture and nature are important ingredients. Dvorák had great international success during his lifetime and was appointed, for example, as a composition professor in New York. His Symphony No. 9, "From the New World", is the most famous, but many consider his seventh symphony to be one of his very best works.Julian Steckel steps in at the last minute as the soloist in a true classic: Joseph Haydn’s Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major – a masterpiece that disappeared and was rediscovered almost 200 years later, in the mid-20th century (incidentally, in Prague, which adds a Czech connection to the programme). The renowned German cellist Julian Steckel is admired for his emotional depth and communication with audiences. His career took off after winning the ARD Music Competition in 2010, and since then, he has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras.The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by German conductor Ruth Reinhardt – currently involved in the Royal Swedish Opera's production of Verdi's La traviata in spring 2024. She made her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at a summer concert in 2018.

Mahler 5

Thu, Oct 10, 2024, 19:00
Francesco Piemontesi (Piano), Alain Altinoglu (Conductor)
Zum Saison-Start der »Großen Reihe« eine ganz Große unter den Sinfonien: Mahlers »Fünfte«, in ihrem Zentrum der so eindringliche Adagietto-Satz, der die Zeit zum Stillstand bringt und die Harfe zum sphärischen Leuchten. Dazu ein Beethoven, der voranstürmt, als müsste diese Zeit wieder eingeholt werden. Mit Gustav Mahler die Spielzeit zu eröffnen, ist gleichsam ein Heimspiel – die Frankfurter Mahler-Tradition reicht lange zurück. Das hr-Sinfonieorchester steht international ein für seine preisgekrönte Mahler-Kompetenz. So wie der aus dem Tessin stammende Pianist Francesco Piemontesi berühmt ist für seine Wiener Klassiker. Bei ihm ist Beethovens geradezu kämpferisch auftrumpfendes, immer wieder aufs Neue mitreißende Es-Dur-Klavierkonzert in den besten Händen. »Piemontesi gilt zu Recht als Klangzauberer«, so die NZZ über den ohne jeden Star-Rummel auskommenden Schweizer, und legt noch hochachtungsvoll nach: »Er ist auch ein Klangtüftler.«Konzertdauer: ca. 140 Minuten – inklusive Pause

Mahler 8

Sat, Apr 26, 2025, 19:30
Edward Gardner (Conductor), Sarah Wegener (Soprano), Emma Bell (Soprano), Jennifer France (Soprano), Christine Rice (Mezzo-Soprano), Jennifer Johnston (Mezzo-Soprano), Andreas Schager (Tenor), Tomasz Konieczny (Bass-Bariton), Derek Welton (Bass-Bariton), London Philharmonic Choir, London Symphony Chorus, Tiffin Boys' Choir
Three choirs, eight starry singers and one of the largest orchestras ever put on stage: there’s a reason why Mahler’s Eighth is often called the ‘Symphony of a Thousand’. The form of the piece, setting the candescent medieval poem Veni Creator Spiritus alongside the lyrical last scene of Goethe’s Faust is in itself radical and mysterious.At the core of the piece is a vast choir who seem to represent the whole human race in a passionate prayer for change but Mahler imagined they stood for something even greater: ‘Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound,’ he challenged.‘There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving.’ Exaggeration? Judge for yourself. Mahler’s Eighth Symphony is quite simply one of the most overwhelming experiences that music has to offer.This concert has been specially developed with the Southbank Centre, with further details to be announced. It is commissioned and produced by the Southbank Centre and London Philharmonic Orchestra
