»I’m in love with Dvořák’s Violin Concerto and I don’t see that changing in the foreseeable future.« With this declaration of love, star violinist Joshua Bell takes the wind out of the sails of all those who think you only need to know the Bohemian composer’s – undeniably wonderful – Cello Concerto. In fact, the Violin Concerto offers everything you could wish for in a great evening at the Elbphilharmonie: melting melodies, highly virtuosic splendour, rousing dances.

Joshua Bell

Sat, May 3, 2025, 20:00
Joshua Bell (Violin), Joshua Bell (Conductor), Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
He has played for three American presidents, the Supreme Court of the United States and has performed at the World Economic Forum—though thus far, at least, superstar Joshua Bell has not been invited to conduct the renowned political gathering. In Berlin, he’ll work as »playing conductor« with the 100-member DSO for the first time. Just one practical problem: what will he do with the Stradivarius violin, which is worth millions? »When I’m conducting, I keep the violin in one hand and conduct with my bow,« he laughs.

Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia / Daniil Trifonov / Jakub Hrůša

Mon, May 13, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Daniil Trifonov (Piano), Jakub Hrůša (Conductor)
The unconventional star pianist Daniil Trifonov settled in New York many years ago. And in addition to his place of residence, he also shares his Russian roots with George Gershwin alias Jacob Gershovitz: Gershwin’s parents once emigrated from St Petersburg to America. His famous Concerto in F major contains clear echoes of jazz, but it is set in the classical solo-concerto form, and is the first work to be orchestrated in its entirety by the composer. The 1925 premiere in Carnegie Hall was a bombastic success for Gershwin, who was only 27 at the time. The same applies to Sergei Rachmaninov’s »Symphonic Dances«, which he wrote in 1940 on Long Island as his last work in exile. The solo role given to the saxophone in the first movement is undoubtedly more than a chance reference to jazz, which could be heard all over New York at the time.

Daniel Harding

Thu, Mar 24, 2022, 20:00
Daniel Harding (Conductor), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
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.
