How can a text inspire a composer? And what happens if you give three composers the same poem as a source for their music? Conductor Johanna Soller shows us the result in a programme of beautiful music by Bach and the contemporary composer Gregor A. Mayrhofer.A brand-new cantata“In 1726, after years of unimaginable creativity and zest for work, Bach suddenly takes things a bit easier. He composes less, but what he does write has one particular source of inspiration: an anthology of poems from the beginning of the eighteenth century, by Duke Ernst Ludwig of Saxe-Meiningen. In 1726, Bach also performs many cantatas by his cousin Johann Ludwig Bach. And what was Johann Ludwig’s source of inspiration? That same anthology of poems. Now, 300 years later, the young German composer Gregor A. Mayrhofer takes a fresh look at the poetry, to create a brand-new cantata, written especially for this programme.

Bach: Matthäus-Passion / Hans-Christoph Rademann

Mon, Mar 24, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Gaechinger Cantorey, Matthias Winckhler (Bass), Daniel Johannsen (Tenor), Miriam Feuersinger (Soprano), Alex Potter (Alto), Tobias Berndt (Bass), Lucy De Butts (Soprano), Tobias Knaus (Alto), Christoph Pfaller (Tenor), Martin Schicketanz (Bass), Hans-Christoph Rademann (Director)
In January 2023, the audience in the Elbphilharmonie responded to the performance of Bach’s St John Passion with the Gaechinger Cantorey with minutes of cheering. »There was a lot to celebrate«, commented Marcus Stäbler for the Hamburger Abendblatt at the time, citing the »eye for the big picture«, the »dense arc of tension«, the »sense of context« and the »flair for detail« in Hans-Christoph Rademann’s interpretation. Now the long-established ensemble of the International Bach Academy Stuttgart is returning to the Elbe with the St Matthew Passion. The monumental oratorio with nine soloists, two choirs and a double orchestra immerses the audience in a deeply spiritual, moving and poetic experience. Bach’s depiction of Jesus’ last hours offers a journey through the human soul in the spirit of the Protestant tradition of the time. He masterfully brings the sacred text to life with vivid harmonies and exquisite interplay between soloists and choirs. With a hand-picked choir, a first-class baroque orchestra and outstanding soloists, Hans-Christoph Rademann presents a renewed and faithful version of this highlight of vocal music of all time.

Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra / Ton Koopman

Mon, Jun 23, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, Hana Blažíková (Soprano), Alex Potter (Alto), Tilman Lichdi (Tenor), Klaus Mertens (Bass), Ton Koopman (Conductor)
Wait a moment, these are the first sounds of the »Christmas oratorio« which starts this concert in the middle of summer! Yes and no: Johann Sebastian Bach often ›recycled‹ his own music and used pieces he considered particularly successful, repeatedly in very different works. Ton Koopman, expert in historical Bach performance practice, has selected three secular cantatas by the Baroque master, which celebrate name-days and birthdays of the Saxon elector prince family and include so many well-known arias and chants. On these occasions, Bach did not set to music any sacred, but secular texts. Characters from classical mythology appear here, convey good wishes to the gods and praise them. For the composer, these compositions which were performed in the open air in beer gardens in summer and in coffee houses in the winter are part of his Leipzig engagements. Two of the cantatas even bear the subheading »Dramma per Musica« – festive miniature operas with virtuoso arias, studded with outstanding soloists. Ton Koopman, who is giving his Elbphilharmonie debut with this concert, is, with his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, one of the world’s best Bach interpreters, awarded with numerous prizes. The conductor, organist and harpsichordist fully dedicated himself to the composer: »To me, Bach is the most brilliant composer in the history of music! What affects me with Bach is the tremendous balance between sense and sensibility – his music goes straight to the heart. A day without Bach is inconceivable to me!«
