Pfingstfestspiele: François-Xavier Roth dirigiert Werke von Boulez und Bruckner

Date & Time
Mon, Jun 9, 2025, 17:00
The Festspielhaus Baden-Baden celebrates Pierre Boulez's 100th birthday with several concerts, including two of his "younger" works paired with Bruckner's last symphony. Boulez admired Bruckner and played a key role in his recognition. The program features "Figures – Doubles – Prismes," where figures are varied and doubled, concluding with a new perspective on the earlier work. A vocal piece inspired by E. E. Cummings's poetry experiments combines text and music.

François-Xavier Roth | Mozart

Sat, Oct 3, 2020, 18:00
Philharmonie im Gasteig (München)
François-Xavier Roth (Conductor), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Following his successful début with the BRSO last year, François-Xavier Roth has again been invited to Munich to conduct two concerts outside the regular season. The concerts will begin and end with towering masterpieces from Mozart’s symphonic output: the majestic Symphony in E flat major (K 543) and his final contribution to the genre, the radiant “Jupiter” Symphony (K 551). As a counterpoint to Mozart’s classical ideal, they will frame a mesmerizing gossamer creation by Anton Webern: his terse Concerto for Nine Instruments op. 24 (1934), a work lasting no more than a few minutes. Composed strictly according to the 12-tone method, its three movements project quite different moods, from flickering whimsy to wan pallor to a jaunty march.

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.
