Wiener Symphoniker

Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 20:00
Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Lukas Sternath (Piano), Wiener Symphoniker (Ensemble), Petr Popelka (Conductor)
»Authentisch« ist ein wichtiges Stichwort für Lukas Sternath, wenn es um Klang geht. Und auch sonst! Jeder, der den jungen Pianisten bislang erleben durfte, war von seiner unerschrockenen Leichtigkeit und Brillanz begeistert.Wenn der 24-jährige Wiener in dieser Saison mit Beethovens unbeschwertem ersten Klavierkonzert an der Seite der Wiener Symphoniker nach Köln zurückkehrt, klingt es nach einem perfekten Match. So viel authentischer Klang war selten! Komponiert in Wien, uraufgeführt in Wien – und nun auch noch interpretiert von Musikerinnen und Musikern aus Wien, die mit den Klängen der Klassik großgeworden sind. Mit Mozarts berühmter »Jupiter-Sinfonie« steuert das Spitzenorchester aus der Welthauptstadt der Musik ein weiteres Klangjuwel bei.

Mahler Festival: Concertgebouw Orchestra and Klaus Mäkelä - Mahler's Symphony No. 1

Fri, May 9, 2025, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Klaus Mäkelä (Conductor)
In 1903, Gustav Mahler conducted his own work with the Concertgebouw Orchestra for the first time. He was lyrical about orchestra, choirs and audience. 'The music culture in this country is astonishing! The way these people can listen.' Tonight, in the First Symphony, the ensemble is led by Klaus Mäkelä. He has been artistic partner of the Concertgebouw Orchestra since 2022 and will become chief conductor in 2027. In an interview, he said Mahler's work is probably the best first symphony ever. 'Fascinating how he manages to bring together sounds of nature, dances and childhood memories.'Stormy, lyrical and inventive: Mahler's First Symphony is one that hints forward to all that follows. Mahler arranged his First symphony several times. Central is a theme from one of the Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen. Spring dreams, peasant dances, a real storm, hunting scenes... they culminate in a triumphant finale. Swedish composer Anders Hillborg is writing a new work, the Dutch premiere of which you will hear today.

Mahler's Symphony No. 5 & Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3

Thu, Sep 12, 2024, 20:15
Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)
Mahler Academy Orchestra, Philipp von Steinaecker (Conductor), Leif Ove Andsnes (Piano)
What did Mahler's Fifth Symphony sound like at the beginning of the last century? The Mahler Academy Orchestra, attached to the Gustav Mahler Academy in Bolzano, sheds new light on performance practice in Mahler's time with the Originalklang-Project. The orchestra consists partly of academics and partly of professional musicians, drawn from the best European orchestras. In Toblach, where Mahler composed his last symphonic works, they mastered playing on original Viennese instruments from around 1900 under the direction of Philipp von Steinaecker. The strings use gut strings; the woodwind and brass play on instruments Mahler acquired during his time as conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic.Norwegian star pianist Leif Ove Andsnes will solo in Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto. Fun fact: Mahler conducted this work at the New York Philharmonic in 1910 with Rachmaninoff himself as soloist. The Mahler Academy Orchestra's concert is a prelude to the Mahler Festival in May 2025.Originalklang with original text: first performance of Mahler's Fifth Symphony in the new critical edition by Breitkopf & Härtel.
