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.
