»Es ist ein Tanz zwischen Erotik und Mitgefühl, zwischen einer Traumwelt und der bitteren Realität.« So beschreibt Geigerin Lisa Batiashvili das erste Violinkonzert von Karol Szymanowski, in dem die Leidenschaften einer Mainacht zum Klang werden.Szymanowskis schwelgerisches Virtuosenwerk präsentiert Batiashvili gemeinsam mit dem London Symphony Orchestra und dessen Chefdirigenten Sir Antonio Pappano, die mit Hector Berlioz‘ »Symphonie fantastique« eine weitere furiose Liebesgeschichte zum Klingen bringen. Vom Ballsaal ins Naturidyll, vom Opiumrausch zum Hexentanz – reinste Romantik! Nicht minder funkelnd und elegisch: die zündende Ouvertüre »Le Corsaire«, welche Berlioz mit dem freigeistigen Freibeuter Lord Byrons in Verbindung brachte. Gefördert vom Kuratorium KölnMusik e.V.
With the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Antonio Pappano, global champions of the classical music scene come together at the Hamburg International Music Festival. The LSO stands out in the exuberant music scene of the UK’s capital city as an orchestra with international claim to leadership and has in Pappano a principal conductor whose global career seeks peers. In their programme, the musical power couple combines two French composers, who fearlessly pushed boundaries in their respective time: Hector Berlioz and Pierre Boulez. Hector Berlioz had a soft spot for programmatic music. He loved staging stories with the powerful sound of a large orchestra. This is how his concert overture »Le corsaire«, after the book of the same name, The Corsair, by Lord Byron, enthrallingly recounts a wild pirate on a stormy sea. And Berlioz’s legendary »Symphonie fantastique« sends a young musician in love from his first happy infatuation via a rousing ball into an ecstatic hell-ride to the Last Judgment – had Berlioz lived later, he might have become an inspired film music composer. The romantic extroversion of Berlioz frames a programme of contrasts: two works for ensemble by Pierre Boulez, which plunge into intimate soundscapes. In »Livre pour cordes« (Book for Strings) for string orchestra and »Mémoriale« (Memorial) for solo flute and ensemble, Boulez spins delicate threads of sound through the musical space of possibilities and, full of relish, invites you to hear around the corner.
»Her playing is as precise as it is almost uninhibitedly lyrical, she warms, she enchants,« enthused the Süddeutsche Zeitung in 2023 after a concert featuring Lisa Batiashvili. The star violinist is now bringing one of the most beautiful works for her instrument to the Elbphilharmonie: Mozart’s Fifth Violin Concerto. The London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Sir Antonio Pappano will be her congenial partner, opening and closing the evening with works by Mozart fan Richard Strauss. With the mischievous Till Eulenspiegel and the multi-layered, lively »Heldenleben« (A Hero’s Life), Mozart’s masterpiece forms an ingenious concert triad.
Inspired by Behrouz Boochani's book of his refugee journey and six-year-long incarceration in Manus Island, the LSO and Jonathan Lemalu give the UK premiere of this heart-stopping song-cycle.
