Nobody knows for certain what caused the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). That was a perfect starting point for countless hypotheses about the cause of death in the years that followed. The most piquant rumor was that a jealous composer colleague was behind it – Antonio Salieri (1750–1825).The theory was not particularly likely, but an all the better story.

The most piquant rumor was that a jealous composer colleague was behind it – Antonio Salieri (1750–1825).The theory was not particularly likely, but an all the better story. Særlig sannsynlig var ikke teorien, men en desto bedre historie. Aleksandr Pusjkin skrev et skuespill basert på ryktene, Nikolaj Rimskij-Korsakov skrev opera. Og i 1984 lanserte Milos Forman musikkfilmen Amadeus, som ble en enorm suksess og vant åtte Oscar.Amadeus gjennomsyres av Mozarts musikk fra start til slutt. Den mørke stemningen i rammefortellingen med den aldrende Salieri understrekes av Mozarts Symfoni nr. 25. Det konfliktfylte forholdet til faren utdypes med scener fra operaen Don Giovanni.Et sentralt element i fortellingen er Mozarts Requiem, som han ikke rakk å fullføre før sin død. I filmen er Salieri den hemmelighetsfulle oppdragsgiveren som driver Mozart i døden. Amadeus er en uimotståelig blanding av fiksjon og virkelighet, av stor filmkunst og musikk. Amadeus Live is a production of Avex Classics International.

Klaus Mäkelä Oslo Philharmonic Choir Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Kaija Saariaho

Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 19:00

Oslo Concert Hall (Oslo)

Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor), Sandrine Piau (Soloist), Sasha Cooke (Soloist), Laurence Kilsby (Soloist), Benjamin Appl (Soloist), Oslo Philharmonic Choir, Øystein Fevang (Choir conductor)

Of the more than 600 works written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), none is shrouded in more mystery than the Requiem, which was unfinished when he died. How much of the music did he write himself? Did he know who commissioned the work? Did he write a Mass for the dead for himself?The commission did not come from the composer Antonio Salieri, who is portrayed as the villain in the hit film Amadeus, but from Count Franz von Walsegg, who commissioned the piece to commemorate his recently deceased wife.Mozart only managed to complete the first movement, but left detailed instructions for his student, Franz Xaver Süssmayer, who finished the piece. Mozart’s Requiem is one of the composer’s most original pieces with great musical and emotional range.“There is no other music like it. Every show is refreshing and remarkable," the opera director Peter Sellars said about Kaija Saariaho (1952-2023). Saariaho is considered one of the greatest composers of our time and is regularly a part of the Oslo Philharmonic's program. Kaija Saariaho wrote the orchestral piece Orion for The Cleveland Orchestra in 2002. In Greek mythology, Orion is a human, the son of the sea god Poseidon, and a fearless hunter who is set as a constellation in the sky after his death.In the first movement, "Memento mori" ("remember the inevitability of death") develops a mystic introduction to a powerful outburst. The second movement, "Winter sky," is an atmospheric description of the starry sky, while the intense third movement, "Hunter," describes Orion's adventure as a hunter.

Easter Concert Vasily Petrenko Oslo Philharmonic Choir Richard Wagner

Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 19:00

Oslo Concert Hall (Oslo)

Vasily Petrenko (Conductor), Toby Spence (Parsifal), Yngve Søberg (Amfortas), Franz-Josef Selig (Gurnemanz)

Richard Wagner (1813–1883) first encountered the story of the knight Parsifal in 1845. In the spring of 1857, he sketched an opera based on the tale, and 25 years later, on 26 July 1882, Parsifal premiered in Wagner’s own opera house in Bayreuth. The composer himself did not call Parsifal an opera, but a Bühnenweihfestspiel, a “stage-festival-play” which was exclusively performed at Bayreuth. The work has a strong spiritual dimension characterized by Wagner’s interest in Christianity, Buddhism and philosophy. Parsifal is one of the Grail brothers, the knights who protected the Holy Grail, the cup from which, according to legend, Jesus drank from at the Last Supper, and in which his blood is collected. Richard Wagner wrote the lyrics himself, loosely based on medieval verse novels. Wagner describes Parsifal’s development and spiritual growth from being an inexperienced knight to, through learning suffering and compassion, understanding the Holy Grails deeper meaning and becoming its guardian.In the third act, Parsifal becomes a redeemer for the Grail community and heals King Amfortas. The action takes place on Good Friday, which emphasizes central themes – spiritual renewal and redemption. The music is played in a concert version, i.e. without scenery or costumes.

Oslo Philharmonic / Vilde Frang / Klaus Mäkelä

Sat, Nov 2, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Oslo Philharmonic, Vilde Frang (Violin), Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor)

Both Klaus Mäkelä and Vilde Frang launched their international careers with the Oslo Philharmonic. The charismatic Finn was appointed chief conductor of the orchestra at the age of 22 and violinist Frang performed as a soloist in her native Oslo at the early age of twelve. Now they join forces in Hamburg to play Igor Stravinsky’s lively violin concerto. This is followed after the interval by Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony. The two pieces could not be more different. Stravinsky’s neoclassical concerto sparkles with humour and joy – it is often seen as a parody of the genre. Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, on the other hand, deals with life’s great topics. As in the Beethoven, fate descends on listeners with a powerful fanfare at the very beginning. Tchaikovsky did not deny the parallels with his great idol and his »Fate Symphony«: »Basically, my symphony is an imitation of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.«

Oslo Philharmonic / Leif Ove Andsnes / Klaus Mäkelä

Fri, Nov 1, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Oslo Philharmonic, Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano), Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor)

Two of music history’s great and very special instrumental concertos are on this evening’s programme, when Klaus Mäkelä conducts the Oslo Philharmonic: Ludwig van Beethoven’s triumphant Fifth Piano Concerto and Béla Bartók’s »Concerto for Orchestra«. Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes plays the solo part in the Beethoven. Andsnes has often been a guest in Hamburg, including his »Beethoven Journey«, where he played all five of the composer’s piano concertos. Beethoven wrote his last piano concerto in the »heroic key« of E-flat major, which is why it is also known as the »Emperor» in English-speaking countries. However, this title belies the many gentle and lyrical moments in the piece. It’s hard to believe that Beethoven was almost deaf when he composed this stirring music. Bartók’s »Concerto for Orchestra« gives the members of the Oslo Philharmonic a chance to prove their mettle: instead of one solo instrument, the individual orchestral groups take turns playing the solo parts. Shortly before his death, Bartók composed this modern classic in his unloved American exile, which he described as »a gradual transition from the seriousness of the first movement and the lament of the third to the affirmation of life in the finale«. The longing for his native Hungary can be heard in the many musical echoes of his homeland.
