Thu, May 2, 2024, 19:30
How do societies remember? With history books, archives – and music! In his recently published book »Time’s Echo«, the American author and music critic Jeremy Eichler (»The Boston Globe«) explores how composers such as Richard Strauss, Arnold Schönberg and Dmitri Shostakovich experienced the Second World War and later processed those experiences in moving works.

Johannes Brahms, an early admirer of Bach and Beethoven, only discovered his love for Schubert relatively late. He felt it all the more intensely – and the more the Austrian composer eventually rose in his esteem. For many years, he was an unofficial contributor to the first major Schubert complete edition – and in this way became a profound connoisseur of Schubert’s works.

In Garmisch, August 1941, Richard Strauss completed his last opera "Capriccio", a one-act opera described as intellectual and witty, a stark contrast to the horrific events of its time. The opera features beautiful music. Bohuslav Martinů, a prolific Czech composer, left behind nearly 100 chamber music works. His String Sextet, composed in Paris in 1932, won the Coolidge Prize. Brahms' String Sextet No. 1, initially conceived as a septet, received widespread acclaim.

Jordi Savall commissioned Arvo Pärt to compose a setting of the Gregorian antiphon "Da pacem Domine" for a peace concert. Completed after the 2004 Madrid bombings, the piece is performed annually in Spain to commemorate the victims. Pärt based the work on the antiphon's melody. The other voices follow Pärt's tintinnabuli style but are treated like a Renaissance motet. "Da pacem Domine" exists in various instrumental settings. Haydn opened concert halls for string quartets, influencing Beethoven who surpassed him with symphonic chamber music. The Armat Quartet performs a work born from the idea of infinite songs. In 1824, Schubert composed his large octet and two major string quartets, including "Death and the Maiden," whose variations movement reflects Matthias Claudius's poem.

The third Hamburg Symphony Chamber Concert invites you on a diverse journey through countries and times. It opens with Handel's "Water Music" overture, adapted for horns.
