Streich­sextette

Date & Time
Sun, Mar 9, 2025, 11:00
The Essen Philharmonic's sixth chamber concert features two major string sextets. Brahms wrote his two string sextets before he tackled string quartets. His first sextet, Op. 18, is popular. Korngold, born the year Brahms died, wrote his String Sextet, Op. 10, from 1914-1916. This work exhibits influences from Strauss and Zemlinsky and foreshadows Korngold's film scores.

Das neue Babylon

Wed, May 17, 2023, 20:00
The 1929 silent film "New Babylon" by Grigori Kozintsev and Leonid Trauberg, set against the backdrop of the Paris Commune's fall, contrasts the pleasure-seeking bourgeoisie with the working class. Shostakovich's score, his first for film, uses irony and grotesque play, combining and confronting familiar forms and melodies. The modern realization avoids clichés, creating distance through reflection and parody, resulting in powerful music with an unusual structure, reflecting the film's conflicts.
