Mahler's Symphony No. 5 & Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3

Thu, Sep 12, 2024, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Mahler Academy Orchestra, Philipp von Steinaecker (Conductor), Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano)
What did Mahler's Fifth Symphony sound like at the beginning of the last century? The Mahler Academy Orchestra, attached to the Gustav Mahler Academy in Bolzano, sheds new light on performance practice in Mahler's time with the Originalklang-Project. The orchestra consists partly of academics and partly of professional musicians, drawn from the best European orchestras. In Toblach, where Mahler composed his last symphonic works, they mastered playing on original Viennese instruments from around 1900 under the direction of Philipp von Steinaecker. The strings use gut strings; the woodwind and brass play on instruments Mahler acquired during his time as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic.Norwegian star pianist Leif Ove Andsnes will solo in Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto. Fun fact: Mahler conducted this work at the New York Philharmonic in 1910 with Rachmaninoff himself as soloist. The Mahler Academy Orchestra's concert is a prelude to the Mahler Festival in May 2025.Originalklang with original text: first performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony in the new critical edition by Breitkopf & Härtel.

Mahler Symphony No. 3

Thu, Sep 19, 2024, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Beth Taylor (Alto), Female Chorus from Eric Ericson Chamber Choir, The Stockholm Boys’ Choir
With a massive orchestra, boys' choir, girls' choir, and alto solo, Mahler paints vivid pictures in his Third Symphony. He himself described it as "something like never before: a symphony that depicts creation, from the insensitive stiff, purely elementary existence to the delicate creation of the human heart, which reaches beyond itself. It goes far, far beyond natural size, and in comparison, everything human shrinks."In many ways, Gustav Mahler was a boundary-breaker with his "maximalist" symphonies. He both completed the symphonic tradition in the footsteps of Beethoven and set the course for the future. The dreamlike alto voice and the bright choirs in the fourth movement create a sense of fragility and tenderness. Here, the distinguished Scottish alto Beth Taylor participates. The symphony culminates in an emotional chorale that grows and sweeps everything along in a hymn to love.Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's chief conductor Ryan Bancroft leads the forces. He conducted Mahler's Fifth Symphony with the orchestra in the autumn of 2023. "The Third is definitely a challenge for any orchestra and conductor, but the music is also very direct: Mahler tells a story."Read more about chief conductor Ryan Bancroft

Mahler: Symphony No. 3

Sun, Jun 29, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Norddeutsche Orchesterakademie, Frauenchor der Norddeutschen Orchesterakademie, Kinderchor des Musikgymnasiums Schwerin, Marta Herman (Alto), Kiril Stankow (Conductor)
Gustav Mahler’s Third Symphony is more than just music. It is an event. »For me, symphony means building a world with all the means of available technology,« said Mahler, and with his Third, he has moulded this aspiration into monumental music that breaks all boundaries. It tells a late Romantic story of creation: nature awakens from its icy torpor, flowers sway in the wind, animals dance in the forest, brass bands herald the arrival of summer, angels sing »Bim Bam«. But death lurks everywhere. At the end, in one of the most poignant finales in music history, the human soul soars to heavenly heights.

Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1

Thu, Jan 30, 2025, 19:00
Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Jirí Rozen (Conductor), Inmo Yang (Violin)
Beethoven was drawn to characters, fictional or real, who dared to stand up against injustices. Egmont in Goethe's drama of the same name was one such fictional but clear role model for Beethoven. In the overture, he encapsulates the drama, from the slow introduction through tragedy to a triumphant conclusion. The orchestra is led by the young and increasingly renowned Czech conductor Jirí Rozen, making his debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.Triumphant melodies are also found in Max Bruch's first violin concerto, one of classical music's most beloved concertos. It's heavenly beautiful music with irresistible romantic fervor. The soloist is the exceptional South Korean violinist Inmo Yang, winner of two of the world's most prestigious violin competitions: the Paganini Competition in Genoa and the Sibelius Competition in Helsinki. He now debuts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.In Dora Pejacevic's music, traces of Wagner, Brahms, and Bruckner can be found, but it is also strongly personal with rich colors and profound seriousness. After a cautious, slow introduction, this symphony from 1918 moves into contrasting and determined music, painting vivid natural scenes. The music also features exuberant pirouettes that are swept away by dazzling climaxes towards the end. It's an impressive work by a composer who was long neglected.
