Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Andreas van Tol (Conductor), Susanne Rydén (Presenter)
Philharmonic Day concludes with a varied concert program. First, drama and beauty in the music from Ethel Smyth’s On the Cliffs of Cornwall, taken from her opera The Wreckers. Then … well, what exactly is this so-called “Ambulance Music”? You’ll find out, but we can tell you it’s not about blaring siren, quite the opposite. Finally, it’s time for film music, as the master John Williams takes us to the Wild West. The music was written for the 1972 film The Cowboys. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by Andreas van Tol, with Konserthuset Stockholm’s CEO Susanne Rydén as host.Strollers and prams cannot be brought into Konserthuset Stockholm and are best left at home.

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra / Julia Fischer / Vasily Petrenko

Fri, Jan 31, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Julia Fischer (Violin), Vasily Petrenko (Conductor)
»Julia Fischer plays the violin concerto in a fresh, captivating and energetic manner, with a broad palette of tonal colours and a fantastic technique. Her Tchaikovsky sounds soulful and romantic without becoming sentimental.« Julia Fischer’s fantastic recording of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, which is so enthusiastically reviewed here by BR, dates back to 2006. Almost 20 years later, the consistently excellent violinist is still one of the best interpreters of this work, which places the highest demands on the soloist with its breakneck cascades of sound and emotional impact. Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra is also characterised by a special intensity of sound – highly virtuosic and full of hope, it offers the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of its chief conductor the best opportunity to present itself as a top-class orchestra.

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra / Nina Stemme / Ryan Bancroft

Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Nina Stemme (Soprano), Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)
The British Telegraph described Nina Stemme as undoubtedly »the greatest dramatic soprano of our time«, while German daily Die Welt recently paid tribute to her voice as »a soprano with a dark chestnut shimmer whose soft power is a true event«.The Swedish soprano can now be heard in Gustav Mahler’s highly emotional »Kindertotenlieder« at the Elbphilharmonie, accompanied by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of its new chief conductor, young high-flyer Ryan Bancroft. The poet Friedrich Rückert dealt with the death of two of his children in over 400 poems, five of which Mahler set to music. And they have it all: in highly expressive, almost operatic style, Mahler uses all the timbres of the orchestra to illustrate the texts. Tragic, dark and beautiful at the same time – as if made for Nina Stemme. Ryan Bancroft is one of the most exciting young conductors of our time: orchestras and audiences alike are thrilled by his presence: »Even the little finger of his right hand is expressive,« the Times wrote about him. For the first time, he is a guest on the Elbe with »his« Stockholm orchestra, and dedicates the second half of the concert to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, which deals in powerful music with the unpredictability of fate.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra / Klaus Mäkelä

Wed, Apr 2, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor)
There are few orchestras that can boast as long a Mahler tradition as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from Amsterdam. Even during Gustav Mahler’s lifetime, the orchestra regularly performed his symphonies and helped the composer achieve the fame he enjoys to this day. Klaus Mäkelä, who takes over as the orchestra’s chief conductor in 2027, continues this tradition with a performance of Mahler’s First Symphony. The composer wrote about his work: »It has become so overpowering – it flowed out of me like a mountain stream!« Also on the programme is Arnold Schönberg’s early work »Verklärte Nacht« for string orchestra, based on Richard Dehmel’s poem of the same name. Before Schönberg climbed to the top of the avant-garde and shocked the music world with his twelve-tone music, he wrote deeply Romantic pieces in his younger years, in which he endeavoured to unite the styles of Wagner and Brahms.
