SWR Symphonieorchester / Pablo Heras-Casado

Anton Bruckner was extremely critical of his compositions throughout his lifetime – with just a few exceptions: he described his Sixth Symphony as his »boldest« and the »Te Deum« as the »pride of his life«. It is absolutely fitting, then, that the world-renowned conductor Pablo Heras-Casado should be congratulating the composer on his 200th birthday with this programme performed by a large orchestra! The »Te Deum« is a mighty creation in praise of God, with an orchestra performing alongside an organ, choir and four vocal soloists. They include the sought-after soprano Christina Landshamer and the bass Franz-Josef Selig, who recently impressed Hamburg audiences in Wagner’s »Flying Dutchman« at the State Opera. Bruckner most likely wanted to impress even divine powers with the five-part work but, that aside, has certainly been inspiring audiences down here on earth ever since the premiere. We can only guess as to what exactly Bruckner found so bold about his Sixth Symphony, but there are many possible reasons: the succinct rhythm right at the start, the energy of which is perpetuated throughout the entire first movement. Or perhaps it alludes to the third movement, which swings back and forth between spooky sequences and blaring brass. Viewed as a whole, the symphonies are among Bruckner’s most »secular« works, making them the perfect counterpart to the Te Deum.

Neue Klangwelten: Helmut Lachenmann und Ludwig van Beethoven – zwei revolutionäre Komponisten, die mit ihren Werken nicht nur musikalische Grenzen sprengten, sondern immer auch die Hörgewohnheiten ihres Publikums herausforderten.Zum Beispiel mit »Ausklang«, einer Art Anti-Klavierkonzert, für das Lachenmann eine seiner typischen Hörwelten entwarf, irgendwo zwischen Geräusch und Klang, die von den Zuhörern die volle Konzentration verlangen. Während Beethoven das Publikum bei der Uraufführung seiner 7. Sinfonie mit einer »Orgie des Rhythmus» überraschte, wie der französische Schriftsteller Romain Rolland die Sinfonie bezeichnete, und dabei immer wieder aus der traditionellen sinfonischen Form ausbricht. Beim SWR Symphonieorchester, bestens vertraut mit Tradition und Moderne, sind die beiden Tonschöpfer in allerbesten Musikerhänden.
