Even though Italy's great composers are primarily known for their operas, almost all of them also wrote wonderful songs. Accompanying the new production of LA FIAMMA, the first evening of ‘Songs and Poets’ provides an insight into this little-known repertoire with works by Ottorino Respighi and his contemporaries and shows how this tradition was continued right up to Luciano Berio's ‘Quattro canzoni popolari’. Swiss poet Mathias Traxler (born 1973 in Basel) responds to the songs of the evening. His texts, which blur the boundaries between genres, are written in close proximity to music. He has published the volumes ‘you're welcome’ and ‘Unterhaltungsessays’ (2011 and 2016 respectively) with kookbooks and, most recently, ‘Komplimente machen’ (2020) with hochroth Wiesenburg.
With music by Barbra Streisand, George Benson, James Taylor and David Bowie, the audience can expect a colourful programme of well-known songs that describe life and love. Experience evergreens in funky arrangements and enjoy a summer evening full of swing. The BigBand of the Deutsche Oper Berlin will play under the direction of its musical director Manfred Honetschläger.
The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is bringing its chamber concerts to Heppenheim's Forum Kultur this season. The program features unjustly overlooked female composers like Clara Schumann, Isabella Leonarda, and Marie Jaëll, alongside music from two renowned male composers. It promises to be an interesting afternoon.
Philippa Mo and Albert Lau are giving several concerts in northern Germany, including in Bremen and Oldenburg. This concert in Hamburg is something special, as the proceeds from ticket sales are dedicated to the project »Ein Märchen für Nambibia«, which was initiated by musicians from the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and Albert Lau.
Our current Artist Spotlight, Khatia Buniatishvili, joins forces with her sister Gvantsa for an exhilarating evening of piano duo music from Mozart to Gershwin via Ravel.
Brahms wrote the Sonata in E minor for instruments close to his heart, i.e., piano and cello. At the premiere, the composer played very loudly, and when the cellist, a talented amateur, remarked to him, he replied: "lucky for you". Such a cover-up will not be necessary during the Katowice concert by the young virtuosos; we will be able to focus on the breathtaking dramatic nature of this work, which culminates in a fugal finale based on Contrapunctus 13 from Bach's Kunst der Fuge. Nadia Boulanger stopped composing after the untimely death of her sister Lili, whom she considered more talented than herself. Although, as a pedagogue, she later educated a considerable group of composers of the neo-classical movement, her music can also bring to mind the work of Debussy. In Three Pieces, we find a masterful combination of these tendencies. Sally Beamish enjoys singing the cello, so we can expect a new song for this instrument.
