16 hours of operatic drama condensed to 75 minutes: Lorin Maazel’s ›The Ring Without Words‹ is a sort of »Wagner to go« with all the orchestra hits and leitmotifs. For newbies and dyed-in-the-wool Wagnerians. At the Bayreuth premiere of the entire »Ring« in 1876, a magic lantern was even deployed. In Kaija Saariaho’s orchestral piece of the same name as well, everything revolves around light and music. The composer incorporated sensuous sounds and iridescent colours into the work.

The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen / Fabian Müller / Tarmo Peltokoski

When a world-class orchestra bestows a 21-year-old conductor with the title of principal guest conductor, this says something. But the debut by the Finn Tarmo Peltokoski on the stand for the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in 2021 filled the musicians with enthusiasm to such an extent that they awarded this accolade for the very first time. After his Elbphilharmonie debut in March 2023, Peltokoski is now a guest again and walks together with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen on the winding paths of Symphony No. 5 by Jean Sibelius. Beforehand, you can experience a soloist in Brahms’ First Piano Concerto with Fabian Müller, who is at the head of the young generation of German pianists. Johannes Brahms wrangled for a long time with the composition of symphonies; Beethoven’s legacy seemed too great for him. The idea of transforming initial symphonic plans into a piano concerto came to him in a dream: »I was absolutely delighted!« he writes to Clara Schumann. Fabian Müller, who since winning five prizes at once at the ARD International Music Competition in 2017 is a sought-after pianist, elicited enthusiastic cheers at the Elbphilharmonie together with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen just last year – high time to build on this success. Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5 came about in a very lengthy process. The Finnish composer was still on the search for new solutions for a genre overloaded with traditions. But the long work paid off – with this symphony, Sibelius has one of his most original and most popular works!

»I wouldn’t have become a conductor if I hadn’t discovered the music of Wagner,« admits Tarmo Peltokoski, the 24-year-old rising star who will be Music Director of the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse from September 2024. At his ProArte debut, the Finn, who has been hailed as the »talent of the century«, also conducts a programme that certainly has something to do with Wagner – without a single one of his works being performed. Whether Claude Debussy’s shimmering »Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune«, Ernest Bloch’s oriental-influenced cello rhapsody »Schelomo« – a feast for star cellist Sol Gabetta – or the powerful First Symphony by Wagner fan Gustav Mahler: each of these works deals with Richard Wagner in its own way. A home game »around the corner« for Tarmo Peltokoski.
