Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony

Wed, Mar 19, 2025, 18:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)

Tchaikovsky composed his fifth symphony during a few summer months in 1888. He had complained of lacking inspiration in the spring: "Am I burned out? No ideas, no desire?" But the fifth became a vital, emotionally charged, and in many respects brilliant symphony. It premiered under the composer's direction at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in November of the same year.The concert begins with Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi's Liguria, music that takes us on a journey between five small fishing villages clinging to the cliffs along Italy's northwestern coast.Read more about chief conductor Ryan Bancroft

Sibelius and Tchaikovsky

Thu, Mar 20, 2025, 18:00

Konserthuset Stockholm, The Main Hall (Stockholm)

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Ryan Bancroft (Conductor), Maria Ioudenitch (Violin)

Sibelius's violin concerto is now the most performed of all violin concertos from the 20th century. Yet its musical language belongs to the late 19th century, and the music is warm and lyrical, dramatic and melancholic. Sibelius, himself a violinist, possibly wrote the concerto he himself would have wanted to play – albeit on a technical level far beyond his own. In this way, the violin concerto can be seen as a farewell to the youthful dreams of a career as a violin virtuoso. It is among the more challenging in the genre, as many violinists have attested.Taking on the challenge is the young award-winning violinist Maria Ioudenitch. In 2021, she won first prize in the prestigious Ysaÿe International Music Competition and the same year also the Tibor Varga International Violin Competition. Maria Ioudenitch was born in Russia but moved to the USA with her family at the age of two.Tchaikovsky composed his fifth symphony during a few summer months in 1888.

Nina Stemme | Königliches Philharmonisches Orchester Stockholm | Ryan Bancroft

Mon, Mar 24, 2025, 20:00

Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)

Nina Stemme (Soprano), Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (Ensemble), Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)

Die schwedische Mezzosopranistin Nina Stemme zählt seit drei Jahrzehnten zu den weltbesten Stimmen, nicht nur auf der Opernbühne. Die für ihre erfüllende Ausdruckstiefe und ihr balsamisches Melos gerühmte Sängerin ist auch im Liedfach und da speziell bei Gustav Mahler ein Erlebnis.Mit dem Königlichen Philharmonischen Orchester Stockholm, das seit 2023 von Ryan Bancroft geleitet wird, taucht Nina Stemme jetzt in die ergreifenden und ebenfalls empfindsamen Welten der »Kindertotenlieder« ein, die Mahler 1904, ein Jahr vor dem Verlust seines eigenen Kindes, schrieb. Zuvor spielt das Orchester von der schwedischen Komponistin Andrea Tarrodi eine zeitgenössische Hommage an Ligurien. Das Konzertfinale gehört dann Tschaikowskys von wilder Leidenschaft aufgeladene »Schicksalssinfonie« Nr. 5.

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra / Nina Stemme / Ryan Bancroft

Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Nina Stemme (Soprano), Ryan Bancroft (Conductor)

The British Telegraph described Nina Stemme as undoubtedly »the greatest dramatic soprano of our time«, while German daily Die Welt recently paid tribute to her voice as »a soprano with a dark chestnut shimmer whose soft power is a true event«.The Swedish soprano can now be heard in Gustav Mahler’s highly emotional »Kindertotenlieder« at the Elbphilharmonie, accompanied by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of its new chief conductor, young high-flyer Ryan Bancroft. The poet Friedrich Rückert dealt with the death of two of his children in over 400 poems, five of which Mahler set to music. And they have it all: in highly expressive, almost operatic style, Mahler uses all the timbres of the orchestra to illustrate the texts. Tragic, dark and beautiful at the same time – as if made for Nina Stemme. Ryan Bancroft is one of the most exciting young conductors of our time: orchestras and audiences alike are thrilled by his presence: »Even the little finger of his right hand is expressive,« the Times wrote about him. For the first time, he is a guest on the Elbe with »his« Stockholm orchestra, and dedicates the second half of the concert to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, which deals in powerful music with the unpredictability of fate.
