Venue

Anton Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony enjoys widespread popularity, and is one of the greatest masterpieces of classical music. It opens with a theme which ascends to radiant heights. The expansive second movement delights with the special warm timbre of the Wagner tubas. Then, after a rhythmic, driving scherzo, the work ends in high spirits, in an almost boisterous mood. The NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester is made up of members of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra Academy, students from German colleges of music and prize-winners... Read full text

Anton Bruckner would have turned 200 years old on 4 September 2024 – an occasion for the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra to focus on important works by the great composer and organist throughout the season. On this evening in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall, the audience can immerse itself in the various facets of his work and influence: Bruckner’s Seventh, perhaps his most popular symphony, meets lesser-known sacred music by the former organist of St Florian’s Abbey and Linz Cathedral.

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Wayne Marshall (Conductor), NDR Bigband (Ensemble), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Geir Lysne (Bigband Rehearsal)

A match made in heaven, and yet at the same time: earthly, lively and of the highest calibre: NDR Bigband meets the DSO. Not crossover. Not a stylistic mish-mash. But rather two top ensembles meeting as equals, with Nikki Iles, British bandleader, Geir Lysne, Norwegian arranger and composer, and Wayne Marshall, conductor specialised in gripping orchestra grooves. New sounds for the Philharmonic Hall in Berlin—and on the next day, on the banks of the Elbe as well.

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester, Stefan Geiger (Conductor)

Johannes Brahms’ Fourth Symphony and Stravinsky’s suite from »The Firebird« are among the masterpieces of the orchestral literature – and also among the favourites of the members of the NDR Jugendsinfonieorchester (NDR Youth Symphony Orchestra). The enchanting story of »The Firebird« utilises all of the orchestra’s sound-painting possibilities; Brahms’ Fourth Symphony sank »deeper and deeper into the soul« of the orchestra at the Berlin premiere, as the violinist Joseph Joachim wrote to his musician friend Johannes Brahms. We cordially invite you to an encounter with these two »orchestra favourites«.

It only lasts seven minutes, but it is nonetheless monumental: Arnold Schoenberg’s melodrama »Ein Überlebender aus Warschau« (A Survivor from Warsaw). Schoenberg had readopted the Jewish faith, and he wrote the piece, which opens with a fierce trumpet signal, in 1947 to commemorate the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. The score mixes the narrative of a man hiding in the sewers with German commands, martial rhythms – and finally the hopeful Hebrew words »Schma Yisrael«, which the Jews use to prepare for death. The part of the narrator is taken by Dominique Horwitz, himself the son of Jewish parents. The French-German actor and chansonnier is in great demand for performances of literary works of music, from Tom Waits’s »Black Rider« to Stravinsky’s »Histoire du soldat«. And the soloists in the second part of the programme likewise have resounding names: among them are the American soprano Susanna Phillips, alto Gerhild Romberger and baritone Michael Nagy. »War and Peace« is the motto of the Hamburg International Music Festival, and chief conductor Alan Gilbert and his NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra place the emphasis on a work of hope and brotherly love: Beethoven’s world-famous Ninth Symphony. The overwhelming finale culminates in Friedrich Schiller’s lines »All men shall be brothers«, which win the day against all the powers of destruction. Beethoven not only touched a nerve in his own time by ending the symphony with a large-scale chorus of rejoicing: nowadays, everyone is familiar with the melody in the guise of the European anthem. Even the playing time of a compact disc, when the CD format was introduced, was geared to enable Beethoven’s oversized Ninth to be played without a break.
