Hjalmar Borgstrøm (1864–1925) was one of Kristiania’s (today’s Oslo) most prominent music personalities at the start of the 20th century. He was a highly respected music critic, and with symphonic poems inspired by late German romanticism, he became one of the critical composers of his time. Borgstrøm wrote his Violin Concerto in G Major in 1914. It was premiered at the event celebrating the Constitution’s 100th anniversary and only performed a few times in the next hundred years. Lately, Eldbjørn... Read full text

Klaus Mäkelä Pyotr Tchaikovsky Dmitri Shostakovich

Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor)
“I composed the Serenade from a natural impulse, something deep from within, and therefore I dare to believe that it is not free from containing something truly valuable,” Pyotr Tchaikovsky wrote to his supporter Nadezhda von Mack during the work with Serenade for Strings in the fall of 1880. When the piece was finished some weeks later, he wrote: “I just love this serenade so terribly, and long for it to see the light of day as soon as possible.” The wish came true - during a visit to Moscow, an orchestra surprised him by playing it at a private concert.The first movement is a tribute to Mozart, according to Tchaikovsky an imitation of his style. The second movement is a waltz reminiscent of the composer’s famous waltzes from The Nutcracker and The Swan Lake. After an elegiac third movement, he uses Russian folk tunes in the finale, “Tema russo.”In 1955, Dmitri Shostakovich planned to write a symphony for the 50th anniversary of the Russian Revolution of 1905. Symphony No. 11 was not ready until the 40th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution in 1957, but the symphony was still named “The Year 1905”.On the surface, the symphony is in line with the authorities’ view. Still, Shostakovich’s use of freedom songs from the prison gave many associations to current events: the composer is said to have suggested that the music was a response to the Soviet Union’s brutal invasion of Hungary in 1956.The symphony opens with the eerie atmosphere in front of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg on the eve of the revolution. The second movement describes the brutal massacre on “the bloody Sunday”. The third movement is based on a revolutionary mournful march, while the powerful final movement ambiguously celebrates the revolution’s future triumph.

Classical Hour Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider Pyotr Tchaikovsky

“The music from this ballet will become one of my best works. The subject is so poetic, so well suited to music, that I was entirely engrossed in composing it, and wrote with an ardor and passion which always results,” wrote Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1841-1893) during the work with Sleeping Beauty.With Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky set a completely new standard for the ballet genre and greatly raised the status of ballet music. Sleeping Beauty premiered in 1890. The Sleeping Beauty Suite, composed after his death, features five orchestral excerpts from the ballet.

Unplayable? Indeed, the best violinists 150 years ago thought that Tchaikovsky's newly composed violin concerto was far too difficult, that it could not be played at all. When someone finally dared to perform it, the piece was torn apart by critics. It is hard to believe when one hears it today in all its beauty and brilliance in the concert hall. Here, it is performed by Artist in Residence Augustin Hadelich, who makes even the most difficult passages seem as if they could be played effortlessly. For those who are not already in a festive mood, Tchaikovsky's ballet music "The Nutcracker" will surely put them in the Christmas spirit - and evoke happy memories of childhood, Christmas scents, and candlelight...

Tchaikovsky 5

Mon, Aug 25, 2025, 19:00
Manfred Honeck (Conductor), Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester
Over 2500 applicants and auditions in 25 European cities - every year, the most talented young musicians from all over Europe apply for this orchestra. What the very best among them achieve under the direction of the most esteemed conductors worldwide is breathtaking. It is no wonder they speak of "dedication and enthusiasm" when talking about their passion for making music together. This time, they are our guests with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, a kind of musical psychogram of the composer that oscillates between soaring heights and deep despair. The four movements are a ride through all emotions for the audience as well... Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Violin Concerto in G major is popular not least because he draws from it abundantly - from divine harmony to satanic rage, one can experience the entire spectrum of emotions. In this concert, it will be performed by the French violinist Renaud Capuçon. Invited by the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra
