»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...

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.

»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. The Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia accompanies this enchanting work with Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony – a gathering of classical music masters!

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

Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto / Tamara Stefanovich / Marco Angius

Wed, Feb 19, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, Tamara Stefanovich (Piano), Marco Angius (Conductor)
The renowned Venetian »Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto«, conducted by Marco Angius, and pianist Tamara Stefanovich present an extremely varied programme from three eras in the Elbphilharmonie’s Great Hall: In addition to Bartók’s Divertimento for Strings and Haydn’s popular symphony »mit dem Paukenwirbel«, Strauss’ »Burleske für Klavier und Orchester« will be performed – a work that is considered an enormous pianistic challenge: it was only five years after its composition that the work was premiered in 1890 by Liszt student Eugen d’Albert.
