Date & Time
Wed, May 7, 2025, 20:00
»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.

Philharmonie Berlin (Berlin)
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.

»Es nimmt und nimmt und nimmt!« Igor Levit weiß, wie sehr das monumentale erste Klavierkonzert von Johannes Brahms zehrt und herausfordert. Aber welcher musikalischen Herausforderung wäre dieser Ausnahmepianist nicht gewachsen?Levit hat Brahms zu einem Gravitationszentrum seines Lebens gemacht. Ganz ohne Umwege treffe dessen Musik immer direkt ins Herz, ist er überzeugt. Und besonders in einem musikalischen Schwergewicht wie dem d-Moll-Konzert lasse Brahms auch in sein eigenes Inneres blicken. »Wir schauen ihm bei der Arbeit zu«, sagt Levit. Für derart monumentale Werke gibt es derzeit keine bessere Wahl als diesen tieflotenden Pianisten. Ins Innerste seiner engsten Freunde wiederum blickte Edward Elgar. Was er dort entdeckte, hielt er in den bildreichen Tönen seiner »Enigma-Variationen« fest und gab nicht nur seinen Zeitgenossen so einige Rätsel auf ...

Katowice Culture Nature Festival / Return to Paradise? / Orchestra di Santa Cecilia / Harding / Bell

Fri, May 9, 2025, 19:30
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Daniel Harding (Conductor), Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia - Roma, Joshua Bell (Violin)
The neoclassical balance to be found in the Violin Concerto in A minor is not only due to Antonín Dvořák’s own efforts, but also to the persuasion of its dedicatee, the great violinist Joseph Joachim, whom the composer himself asked for advice. The themes of this three-movement work are full of Slavic intonations, at times lively and at times lyrical. The heart of the Concerto is the middle movement – one of unusual size and creating an idyllic aura: its cloudless skies are only rarely spoiled by passing worries. The main problem troubling Gustav Mahler – the intuition that beauty is but a deceitful escape from the tragic condition of the human being – is already present, with its full force, in his Symphony No. 1. The work opens with one of the most wonderful musical images of spring awakening, which fills the care-free heart of the youthful wanderer (Mahler used a quote from his own song I Went This Morning over the Field). Slowly, however, dramatic tones begin to show – nature is no paradise and the veil of its seductive forms hides suffering. It is not only the human being that is touched by agony, but other creatures as well. This is “told”, in a tone of tragic irony, by the third movement – a grotesque funeral march, inspired by a picture of a hunter seen off to his eternal rest by a procession of animals. The finale begins with an explosion of despair. The protagonist of the symphony, in Mahler’s own words, “triumphs only in death, defeating himself. Then, the miraculous allusion to the days of youth will be heard.”Marcin Trzęsiok Concert duration (intermission included): approximately 110 minutes

Isarphilharmonie (München)
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.
