Sat, May 10, 2025, 20:15
Budapest Festival Orchestra, National Radio Choir, Iván Fischer (Conductor), Christiane Karg (Soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (Mezzo-Soprano)
'Mahler's beauty always hurts', conductor Iván Fischer said recently. Tonight he conducts his own Budapest Festival Orchestra in Mahler's Symphony No. 2, full of passion, lyricism and brightly shining melodies. Mahler is in good hands with Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. Fischer knows like no other how to get Mahler's music flowing, there is no composer he understands better. As early as 2006, Fischer and the orchestra recorded Mahler's Symphony No. 2. 'Impressive', wrote Gramophone.He who calls us gives us eternal life - sings the choir towards the end of Mahler's Symphony No. 2. In this emotionally charged work, Mahler expresses his ideas about life after death. Bliss and melancholy are both given space. Pure, insinuatingly and moving.

Budapest Festival Orchestra / Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Chor / Iván Fischer

Tue, May 27, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Budapest Festival Orchestra, Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Chor Hamburg, Christiane Karg (Soprano), Anna Lucia Richter (Mezzo-Soprano), Iván Fischer (Conductor)
They are a well-rehearsed team: 40 years ago, Hungarian conductor Iván Fischer founded the Budapest Festival Orchestra in his home city and led it to world fame over the years. These very welcome Elbphilharmonie guests are celebrating their big anniversary at the Hamburg International Music Festival (the motto is »Future«) with the visionary music of Gustav Mahler. The star line-up continues with Christiane Karg and Anna Lucia Richter in the vocal solos. »Resurrect, yes resurrect, you will!« It is at the end of Mahler’s Second Symphony that the choir vocalises the religiously and philosophically motivated central message of the work with poignant optimism. Performances of the monumental »Resurrection Symphony« remain an impressive event to this day – not only in Hamburg of course, where the composer once had the inspiration for the choral finale in the »Michel« church. How fitting that the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Choir, a Hamburg-based orchestra, should now be performing the finale. The manuscript of the work, which lasts around one and a half hours, was auctioned off several years ago for 5.3 million euros. Fortunately, the live experience of hearing the work is a little more affordable – and priceless at the same time.
