Jan Lisiecki / Academy of St Martin in the Fields / Tomo Keller

Wed, Jan 15, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Jan Lisiecki (Piano), Jan Lisiecki (Director), Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Tomo Keller (Director)

They are a well-rehearsed team: Jan Lisiecki and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields – a fresh approach to the music, pure joy in playing and the desire to make music together characterise orchestra and soloist alike. This was already evident in 2018, when Jan Lisiecki rescued a concert tour of the Academy and stood in for Murray Perahia, who was ill, with all five Beethoven concertos. The applause was magnificent and the album of the live recording was a huge success. The connection between the Canadian-Polish pianist and the traditional British ensemble has been a special one ever since. And the desire on both sides to bring Beethoven’s concertos to concert halls once again with the necessary preparation time and the corresponding anticipation will finally become a reality in January 2025. The complete Beethoven cycle can be experienced on three evenings with ProArte!

Orchester im Treppenhaus

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Orchester im Treppenhaus

People flock together. Lovers, the curious, the odd fantasist. A tingling community. High-percentage stimulation in the hall too. Rimsky-Korsakov’s enchanting orchestral poem Scheherazade. Anna Clyne’s turbulent »Fractured Time«. A wave runs through the crowd. Some even dance. The orchestra strikes a chord. The clapping, the rhythm, a magical moment. Everyone together. Everyone now. Everything mega, everything KULT.

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra / Martin Fröst / Cristian Măcelaru

Sun, Jun 16, 2024, 11:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, Martin Fröst (Clarinet), Cristian Măcelaru (Conductor)

»Frost exhibited a virtuosity and a musicianship unsurpassed by any clarinettist – perhaps any instrumentalist – in my memory,« is how a critic of The New York Times raved about Martin Fröst. This exceptional clarinettist from Sweden loves to push musical boundaries and try out new forms of performance. One reason why contemporary artists often entrust him to perform their newly written works. The British composer Anna Clyne wrote »Weathered« for Martin Fröst: a much-celebrated work for clarinet and orchestra, which Fröst premiered in the spring of 2023 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Now he performs it for a new audience in Hamburg. Anna Clyne knew exactly who she was writing for: »Weathered« places the highest demands on the individual performing it. So high, in fact, that some critics have speculated that only time would tell whether a second clarinettist would be able to play the work. Trills, glissandi and sharply articulated passages alternate with beautifully melodious moments. Each of the five movements has its own description – a rusted bridge, a broken heart, a wind-worn castle, a majestic forest, and a warming planet. Interpreting the contrasting sections, Fröst uses his instrument to elicit fluttering turns and even mimicking shawm sounds. Christian Măcelaru conducts the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra. He is also principal conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre National de France, and also brings a folksong-like work by his fellow countryman, the Romanian Constantin Silvestri, to add to the programme. The real highlight of his conducting though is the Symphony No. 3 by Sergei Rachmaninov. In his final symphony, the Russian exile resurrects the great legacy of Romanticism with powerful assurance. Yet Rachmaninov speaks his very own language, leading rapturous melodies through twists and turns that are harmonically astonishing.
