Staatskapelle Berlin and Susanna Mälkki

Date & Time
Wed, Sep 4, 2024, 20:00
In this programme the Staatskapelle Berlin under Susanna Mälkki present music that is conscious of death while attempting to grasp the value of life. Gustav Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde was written immediately after the death of his daughter. Hush is the final work of composer Kaija Saariaho, that could only be premiered after her death in 2023 – yet movingly resonates with life.

BERLIN STAATSKAPELLE STRING QUARTET & MOJCA ERDMANN

Fri, Dec 6, 2024, 19:30
Pierre Boulez Saal (Berlin)
Berlin Staatskapelle String Quartet (String Quartet), Erdmann Mojca (Soprano)
When Felix Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny died unexpectedly in 1847, the composer confessed to feeling “the greatest emptiness and barrenness in my mind and heart.” He poured his grief into his F-minor String Quartet, which was to remain the last quartet he completed before passing away himself just a few months later. The Berlin Staatskapelle String Quartet combines this instrumental requiem with Gustav Mahler’s Rückert Songs—works that also talk about love and leave-taking—in an arrangement by Swiss composer David Philip Hefti, with Mojca Erdmann as the soloist. The songs will be interspersed with the individual movements of Hefti’s Sixth String Quartet, Fünf Szenen für Gustav. Schubert’s youthful G-minor Quartet, written when the composer was just 18 years old, completes the program.

Bruckner's works for the liturgical Gebrauch Mass No. 1 in D minor and further compositions

Wed, Sep 18, 2024, 20:00
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin (Orchestra), Łukasz Borowicz (Conductor), Johanna Winkel (Soprano), Catriona Morison (Mezzo-Soprano), Martin Mitterrutzner (Tenor), Arttu Kataja (Bariton), Sebastian Heindl (Organ), RIAS Kammerchor (Choir)
2024 is Bruckner year. This makes the classical world think first and foremost of his symphonies and his monumental religious works. By contrast, his works for liturgical use are much less well-known. The RIAS Kammerchor embarks on a voyage of discovery together with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and, in addition to a number of shorter works, presents the Mass No 1 in D minor – with the aim of rediscovering the sonic experience of the period in which it was written by using a markedly slimmed-down cast.
