“It can sound like electronic music; it can bring forth ghostly tones or even mighty explosions.” Thus the Berlin-based South Korean composer Unsuk Chin describes the sheng, the Chinese mouth organ. šu, her concerto for sheng and orchestra, was written for the virtuoso Wu Wei, who often takes up contemporary music with his instrument. Like Unsuk Chin, Mark Andre knew from the very beginning who would give the world première of his clarinet concerto … über … : his preferred... Read full text

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Grünewald Hall (Stockholm)

Eric Ericson Chamber Choir, Justin Doyle (Conductor)

The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir was founded in 1945 by the then 27-year-old Eric Ericson, and has since then occupied a central place in Swedish and international music life. The choir ranks among the absolute top tier of professional ensembles internationally, and since 2003, the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir has had a close collaboration with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at Konserthuset.The choir's repertoire is very broad and spans from the Renaissance to the present day. In this concert, the choir has chosen to focus on the great German-speaking Romantic composers such as Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, and Johannes Brahms, but also the lesser-known Peter Cornelius.The Eric Ericson Chamber Choir is led by guest conductor Justin Doyle, chief conductor of the prestigious RIAS Kammerchor in Berlin, where he also works as a professor of choral conducting at the Hanns Eisler School of Music.

Shiyeon Sung & Anton Barakhovsky & Sebastian Klinger

Thu, Nov 23, 2023, 20:00

Isarphilharmonie (München)

Shiyeon Sung (Conductor), Anton Barakhovsky (Violin), Sebastian Klinger (Cello), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

It is one of the great traditions of the BRSO to offer musicians from its own ranks a forum for solo performances. In this concert, the audience can look forward to hearing concertmaster Anton Barakhovsky and principal cellist Sebastian Klinger, who have already been featured once before. For his concert rhapsody Tzigane, written in 1924, Ravel wrote a violin part of almost unparalleled virtuosity, combining it in a fascinating way with the improvisational gestures of so-called gypsy music. Ligeti’s 1966 Cello Concerto is equally breathtaking: it successfully combines dense soundscapes and dramatic gestural effects. Three popular concert classics, Ravel’s Boléro, his ballet music Ma mère l’oye, and an early Ligeti work, the Concert Românesc based on Romanian folk music, complete the program. On the podium will be Shiyeon Sung, a South Korean conductor, who had her BRSO debut at musica viva in 2022.

Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Nils Mönkemeyer / Kent Nagano

Sun, May 5, 2024, 11:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, Boglárka Pecze (Bass clarinet), Nils Mönkemeyer (Viola), Edicson Ruiz (Double bass), Kent Nagano (Conductor)

The Russian composer Vladimir Tarnopolski is certainly no stranger to contemporary music. His works have been performed at many major festivals over recent decades. He has received various prizes and released many of his works on CD. As a professor of composition at the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory, he has also passed on his knowledge to a whole generation of young composers. »Im Dunkel vor der Dämmerung« (»In the Dark before Dawn«) is the title of a new work commissioned by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra and premiered in this concert. »Sinfonia Eroica« was the title Ludwig van Beethoven gave his third symphony in 1804, a »heroic symphony composed to celebrate the memory of a great man«. Whether or not this »great man« was to be little Napoleon? At first it was, in all likelihood. But Beethoven probably decided to leave out any corresponding dedication, since the Corsican’s personal coronation as emperor was, in the composer’s eyes, a bitter betrayal of the republican ideas of the French Enlightenment. Was Beethoven himself perhaps the hero? An innovator in the context of music history? Whatever the answer, he certainly breaks new ground with his »Eroica«.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Stefan Asbury

Fri, May 17, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Stefan Asbury (Conductor), Stepan Simonian (Piano), Moisés Santos Bueno (Drums)

Born in Teheran, Sara Abazari is one of today’s leading voices in her country’s contemporary music. Her two latest compositions, which were recently premiered in the Berlin Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus, are directly connected with the movement »Woman, Life, Freedom« and the prominent role of women in Iran. »in solidum« is a piece that was premiered in its first version in autumn 2023; the new, large-scale orchestral work by the composer, who studied in Cologne and Vienna, is now being performed by the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. With Galina Ustwolskaja (1919-2006), the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra preesents one of the 20th century’s most uncompromising composers after the interval. Ms Ustwolskaja gained a reputation for her visionary and always highly unusual combinations of instruments: »Dies irae« is scored for eight double basses, piano and a large, resonant wooden block, which the percussionist beats with enigmatic hammer blows. Performances of the work produce the picture, precisely calculated by the composer, of an archaic ritual that evokes a set of metaphors between death, protest and apotheosis: this is a »breakthrough piece«, a musical onslaught on all conventional boundaries, and indisputably Ustwolskaja’s most famous work. The evening opens with Edgar Varèse’s virtuoso piece »Intégrales« for wind instruments and percussion, one of the founding documents of 20th century music. Written for the avant-garde »International Composers’ Guild«, which was founded in 1921 by Carlos Salzedo and Varèse himself, »Intégrales« was given its first performance in March 1925 in New York’s Aeolian Hall.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Ingo Metzmacher

Sat, Nov 9, 2024, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Ingo Metzmacher (Conductor), Solist:innen in »Messe Nr. 1«, Claire de Sévigné (Soprano), Avery Amereau (Alto), Toby Spence (Tenor), Michael Nagy (Bariton), Solist:innen in »Die Jakobsleiter«, Brenden Gunnell (Tenor), Bernard Richter (Tenor), Jens Persson Hertzman (Bariton), Sean Michael Plumb (Bariton), Anne Schwanewilms (Soprano), Miriam Kutrowatz (Soprano), Marie Maidowski (Soprano), Solist:innen des NDR Vokalensembles, Lucy De Butts (Soprano), Sophia Körber (Soprano), Alexandra Hebart (Mezzo-Soprano), Solist:innen des MDR-Rundfunkchors, Ramona Laxy (Soprano), Lisa Germeshausen (Soprano), Falk Hoffmann (Tenor), Oliver Kaden (Tenor)

Ingo Metzmacher is one of the great explorers among conductors. He tirelessly explores new and little-known areas of the repertoire. His curiosity already characterised him during his time as General Music Director in Hamburg between 1997 and 2005. And this also characterises the vocal symphonic programme with which he returns to the podium of the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra in November. One day before his 67th birthday, Metzmacher conducts two rarely performed works by two jubilarians from the Romantic and modern eras with a round birthday in 2024 – and fills the stage in the Grand Hall with an opulent line-up that, alongside the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, includes the MDR-Rundfunkchor and nine vocal soloists.
