Munich Philharmonic / Daniel Harding

Date & Time
Tue, Apr 16, 2024, 20:00
Daniel Harding is by no means a stranger to the Munich Philharmonic. The British conductor regularly works with the venerable orchestra, which celebrated its 130th anniversary at the beginning of the season. An eventful time full of musical highlights: there is surely no other orchestra that performs the great repertoire as magnificently and colourfully as the Philharmonic from the Bavarian capital. Take Gustav Mahler’s phenomenal Symphony No. 5, for example. When it was premiered in 1904, the large-scale work, with... Read full text

Munich Philharmonic / Renaud Capuçon / Daniel Harding

Wed, Apr 17, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Münchner Philharmoniker, Renaud Capuçon (Violin), Daniel Harding (Conductor)
The Munich Philharmonic enjoys an international reputation, in part because of their Bruckner performances. Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony is known as the »Romantic« symphony, and – with its rapturous horn call – is one of the Austrian composer’s most popular creations. Thierry Escaich’s new violin concerto »Au-delà du rêve« – a commissioned work for the Munich Philharmonic, the Elbphilharmonie and the Philharmonie de Paris – is being performed in Hamburg soon after its premiere. The 59-year-old French composer and organist is one of his homeland’s leading musicians, and he regularly works with leading orchestras and soloists. In Renaud Capuçon, Escaich has found one of the most versatile violinists of his generation as an ideal soloist – one who has mastered a broad repertoire as a soloist and as a chamber musician.

Daniel Harding is a welcome guest at the helm of the BRSO. This time he will conduct a programme fully deserving of the title “from adversity to the stars”. Thomas Adès’s The Exterminating Angel Symphony of 2020 was commissioned by several orchestras, including the BRSO. Here he takes up important passages from his like-named opera, premièred at the Salzburg Festival in 2016, and combines them into a four-movement symphony. The starting point was a surrealist film by Luis Buñuel, in which a group of high-bred socialites gather together for a party and are condemned to a nightmarish journey. Adès has supplied music at once exciting and weirdly grotesque. Following this surrealistic vision of Hell there begins a very real heaven-assailing ascent to the heights with Richard Strauss’s Alpine Symphony.

Night walk with Daniel Harding: in the somber Funeral March, Gustav Mahler’s shadowy, gloomy Seventh Symphony emerges as “the psychogram of a compulsive existence” (Wolfgang Stähr). Nachtmusik I, characterized by a horn duet, casts a wistful glance into bygone times; the Scherzo acquires a restless, spooky character; and Nachtmusik II becomes a nocturnal serenade especially through the presence of a guitar and a mandolin, instruments rarely found in an orchestra. After the eerie nocturnal atmosphere of the previous movements, the work’s gigantic finale transports the listener towards the light – a change of mood that left the audience attending the work’s premiere somewhat perplexed. Today, Mahler’s Seventh is considered a masterpiece of symphonic form, as will be exemplified in Mahler specialist Daniel Harding’s performance.

For German audiences, the music of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius is not always easily accessible. Unlike Beethoven, Sibelius preferred to compose in accordance with natural, cyclic principles rather than rely on traditional formal schemes. His Fourth Symphony, with its tragic, sombre tone that sometimes weighs heavily on the soul, is often considered an avant-garde work. The former BRSO conductor Sir Colin Davis aptly described it as “a unique piece that nobody loves.” In Sibelius’ Oceanides, the mysterious rumbling of the sea gives way to a dramatic storm that causes the waves and everything in their path to roar, pile up, tumble, and break – an ideal repertory for the conqueror of waves Daniel Harding, who frames these truly unique and spiritual symphonic images with works by Beethoven.
