Symphoniker Hamburg / Andris Poga

Date & Time
Sun, Jun 15, 2025, 19:00
Luciano Berio, a prominent 20th-century Italian composer, had a unique relationship with tradition, creating numerous arrangements and transcriptions of various composers. In his 1989 work "Rendering," based on Schubert's unfinished Symphony No. 10, his arranging and composing skills merge. Berio likened his restoration approach to that of frescoes, reviving old colors without hiding time's damage. 1907 was a devastating year for Mahler, marked by his daughter's death, a heart condition diagnosis, anti-Semitic attacks, and his resignation from the Vienna Court Opera. Seeking solace, he found "The Chinese Flute," which inspired "Das Lied von der Erde," his personal farewell to the world, with the final song, "Der Abschied," being the longest.

Four horns and orchestra usually means that Robert Schumann's lively concert piece written in 1849 is on the programme. Not so this time: Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür has written a new work for the horn quartet german hornsound, which it premiered two years ago. The ensemble includes KHO horn player Timo Steininger. It is followed by the 10th Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich, which was written and premiered after Stalin's death in 1953 - an extremely impressive reckoning by the composer with the past years of terror, fear and paralysis.

What a love-struck score: »Roméo et Juliette, dramatic symphony, with chorus, vocal solos and prologue as choral recitative, after Shakespeare’s tragedy, dedicated to Niccolò Paganini« – what a wealth of lyrical tones, what enchanting moments, even bizarre, irrational ones, what lush harmonies and ravishing melodic arcs! Its creator Hector Berlioz himself was in an exceptional state: »What a passionate life I led during this whole time! With what vigour I swam in this vast sea of poetry, caressed by the exuberant breeze of fantasy, under the warm rays of Shakespeare’s sun of love, and trusting in my strength to reach the wonderful island where the temple of pure art rises.« With »Roméo et Juliette«, Berlioz had – after a long search – finally created his symphonic theatre of dreams.

»If you want to know who I consider to be the most important living composer, I say without hesitation: Elgar... I put him on the same level as my idols Beethoven and Brahms.« This is how the violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler enthused about Edward Elgar in 1905 – and added a personal request: »I wish Elgar would compose something for the violin.« The flattered man was happy to fulfil this wish. Albeit with a few years’ delay. Edward Elgar completed his violin concerto in 1910. The piece was tailor-made for Fritz Kreisler: Elgar placed an extremely demanding solo part in his hands. The sheer abundance of virtuosic cascades and furiously fast arpeggios are such a great challenge that many soloists avoid them. Frank Peter Zimmermann, on the other hand, has taken it on several times and performed the fifty-minute mammoth work with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, for example. In February 2025, he will join the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra to savour the rapturous glow and late Romantic colours of the concerto under the direction of Andris Poga.

Kurt Weill composed his Second Symphony in exile in France and the USA, having fled the National Socialists in Germany. In terms of style, he drew inspiration from the great German-speaking composers of the past, which is often interpreted as melancholic retrospection. Around 100 years earlier, a 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn visited the ruins of an abbey in Edinburgh and wrote to his parents about the experience: »Everything around is broken and mouldering and the bright sky shines in. I believe I have found the beginning of my Scottish symphony.« After this formative journey, almost 13 years would pass in which the musical memories of the country and its people matured into one of Mendelssohn’s most important symphonic works, his Symphony No. 3 in A minor.

Tumultuous, iridescent and mystical: the French composer Olivier Messiaen pulls out all the stops in his Turangalîla Symphony. Inspired by the Tristan legend, Messiaen’s work explores and expresses love and passion in all their facets. The title of this unique sound cosmos, Turangalîla, comes from Sanskrit and means »all at the same time, song of love, hymn to joy, time, movement, rhythm, life and death« (Messiaen). In addition to a huge orchestra and piano obligato (a very challenging part!), the full-length work requires a solo ondes Martenot, an electronic keyboard instrument with a sound similar to the human voice. A passionate and moving evening with music that, according to its creator, »knows delicateness and vehemence, love and impetuousness; (…) music of stained glass church windows, a whirl of complementary colours, a theological rainbow«.

Claude Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" is his most popular and first significant symphonic work. Its innovative form and synthesis of nature and fantasy make it a key work of its era. Based on a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé, it depicts a faun awakening and recalling a flirtation with two nymphs. Debussy also composed "La Mer," evocative symphonic sketches inspired by the sea, reflecting his love for it and perhaps alluding to deeper metaphorical meanings of flowing and time.
