The NDR Vokalensemble and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin perform works by Antonio Lotti, Antonio Vivaldi and Antonio Caldara in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. The conductor is Klaas Stok. Antonio must have been a real fashionable name for a while. How else can it be explained that three Venetians named Antonio achieved world fame at almost the same time? Antonio Lotti, Antonio Caldara, and Antonio Vivaldi, who is still famous today. Born and educated in the musical metropolis of... Read full text

»It’s one of those pieces to which I dedicated myself completely. It is that work into which I was finally able to pour all the dreams and passions of my youth,« Frank Martin once said about his secular oratorio »Le vin herbé«, with which he enjoyed great success after the 1942 premiere, when he was already over 50. His choice of material was certainly youthful: the work tells the tale of the rapturous and uncompromising lovers whose future together is surrounded by obstacles. Martin’s oratorio is based on the novel by Joseph Bédier, whose retelling placed the story closer to the original medieval Celtic legend; the composer found archaic sounds to portray the events. »Le vin herbé«, which is named after the magic potion that ignites Tristan and Isolde’s love for one another, was a great success in the opera version, but the composer himself preferred it performed as an oratorio.

NDR Vokalensemble / Kammerakademie Potsdam / Klaas Stok

Sat, Feb 22, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Vokalensemble, Kammerakademie Potsdam, Liv Redpath (Soprano), Jane Archibald (Soprano), Alexandra Hebart (Mezzo-Soprano), Sebastian Kohlhepp (Tenor), Andreas Pruys (Bass), Klaas Stok (Director)
Commissioned by Vienna’s »Tonkünstler-Societät« (»Society of Musicians«), Mozart wrote the cantata »Davide penitente« (»David repents«) for Lent, using parts of his large-scale Mass in C minor. He follows in the footsteps of composers including Johann Sebastian Bach with this cantata, written for a benefit concert in aid of widows and orphans of professional musicians. In Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Mass in B minor, he presented top-class music that had already been composed in a new form.

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

Tue, Oct 22, 2024, 20:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Carlo Vistoli (Countertenor), Xenia Löffler (Oboe), Georg Kallweit (Violin)
In their first joint programme, Akamus and the up-and-coming star of the countertenor scene Carlo Vistoli dedicate themselves to key works of church music: Vivaldi set religious texts such as the psalm ‘Nisi Dominus’ to music with bittersweet sadness and operatic verve. The Venetian composer's ‘Stabat mater’, on the other hand, is one of the darkest baroque settings of the pain of Mary, the ‘Mater dolorosa’ and mother of Jesus. ‘I have had enough’ is also one of Bach's most moving cantatas.

Thu, Jan 23, 2025, 20:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Voces Suaves, Georg Kallweit (Violin)
In their first joint programme, Akamus and the award-winning Basel vocal ensemble Voces Suaves present musical highlights from the generation of German composers before Johann Sebastian Bach and thus the impressive musical world into which he was born. The programme includes works by the extended Bach family as well as by composers who are largely unknown today and who preceded the later Thomaskantor in his important positions in Mühlhausen, Weimar and Leipzig. From the oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach, the double-choir motet ‘Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf’ will be performed..

Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

Sun, May 25, 2025, 20:00
Konzerthaus Berlin, Großer Saal (Berlin)
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Bernhard Forck (Violin)
The Akademie für Alte Musik presents one of the most popular works of classical music in its original sound: Mozart's so-called ‘Great’ G minor Symphony, first performed in Vienna in 1788, is a work of passionate expression that does not shy away from harsh sounds and sombre minor tones. Ten years earlier, the composer had tried his luck in Paris in the hope of a permanent position. The French public's enthusiasm for virtuosity fuelled the establishment of the new ‘Sinfonie concertante’, which is characterised by several solo instruments - the ‘Wind Concertante’ features oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon. The programme is rounded off with the E flat major Divertimento, written in Milan in 1771. The clarinets he used in this work for the first time opened up a new world of sound for Mozart.

Konzerthaus Berlin, Kleiner Saal (Berlin)
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Xenia Löffler (Oboe), Erwin Wieringa (Horn), Mayumi Hirasaki (Violin), sowie weitere Mitglieder der Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
Highlights from Mozart's chamber music oeuvre take centre stage in this concert by the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and its wind soloists Xenia Löffler and Erwin Wieringa. Mozart's works for wind instruments are indebted to his friendships with great contemporary virtuosos: when he wrote his horn concertos and his masterful horn quintet (the latter a concerto in miniature, so to speak), the composer had Joseph Leutgeb's phenomenal playing in his ear. His only chamber music work with solo oboe was dedicated to his friend Friedrich Ramm. The member of the famous Mannheim court orchestra performed the premiere in 1781.
