Ravel invokes the sensuality of the Orient in his three-piece song cycle Shéhérazade: the tales told by this female storyteller from Arabian Nights are musically brought to life in a strange, beautiful, eerie world full of fascination and terrors in equal measure. Finally, in Pictures at an Exhibition, Mussorgsky produced a work that not only recreates visual impressions in sound, but expands each picture into a unique musical cosmos.

Tugan Sokhiev & Vadim Gluzman

Isarphilharmonie (München)

Tugan Sokhiev (Conductor), Vadim Gluzman (Violin), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

In the hopes that in April spring will already be bursting out of the ground, the sky, and people’s hearts, this concert could not begin more fittingly than with Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps, a sonic representation of springtime. It is an entertaining and wonderfully orchestrated piece that is definitely worth listening to. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is a more familiar work, and has found one of its most sympathetic advocates in Vadim Gluzman; indeed, this work has become second nature to him. Additionally, Gluzman has had a long-standing collaboration with conductor Tugan Sokhiev (as well as with BRSO concertmaster Anton Barakhovsky). Chausson’s Symphony in B flat major, a pinnacle of French symphonic music, will round off the programme.

Herkulessaal (München)

Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor), Lucy Crowe (Soprano), Benjamin Bruns (Tenor), Christian Gerhaher (Bariton), Bavarian Radio Chorus, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Simon Rattle felt no hesitation in commencing his tenure as Chief Conductor of the Chor and Symphonieorchester des BR with Haydn’s Creation. “It contains everything. The whole world. It looks both towards the past and far into the future of everything music can be. It is balance and revolution at the same time, a true work of the Enlightenment.” Magnificent choruses, graceful melodies, the finest polyphony, all firmly anchored in an optimistic view of humanity: “Anyone who doesn’t automatically feel better after hearing it really needs help,“ Simon Rattle says with a wink.” The Creation is healthy in a very honest way.” But health also includes a good dose of humor, and Haydn provides it, even in a setting as sacred as the Creation story. At the same time, a work radiating light also casts some shadows on our own present. What has remained of the spirit of the Enlightenment? And what have we done with the “world, so great, so wonderful”?

Sir Simon Rattle & Katia und Marielle Labèque

Sir Simon Rattle (Conductor), Rinat Shaham (Mezzo-Soprano), Katia und Marielle Labèque (Piano), Christopher Patrick Corbett (Clarinet), Stefan Schilling (Clarinet), Raphaël Séguinier (Percussion), Gonzalo Grau (Percussion), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks

Golijov’s Nazareno has a permanent place on the Rattle family’s playlist. As Sir Simon’s youngest daughter puts it: “If all your classical works were like this, I’d come to every concert – because it’s so good to dance to!” This irresistible celebration of South American music will feature two of Rattle’s lifelong friends at the piano: the sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque. The works of de Falla, Stravinsky, and Bernstein provide just as much character, resulting in an absolute dream program of classical music, jazz, and tango, that demonstrates the BRSO’s full sonic and rhythmic spectrum. The concert will showcase the BRSO solo clarinettists in the Ebony Concerto, and the Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, works written by Stravinsky and Bernstein respectively for the legendary jazz clarinettist Woody Herman.
