SONDERKONZERT »Der Ring ohne Worte«
»The Ring Without Words« – the title alone is enough to trigger one’s curiosity! This programme revolves around Wagner’s timeless parable of power and love, the monumental drama of the »Ring of the Nibelung«. Loriot once commented: »The perpetrators in the most powerful drama in the history of music are actually quite nice people – it is just that a common passion becomes their undoing. In the blind, callous pursuit of profit, they destroy themselves and their world.« We will perform a fascinating fast-forward through the four operas of this opus magnum, entirely without sets, singers or costumes, that was created in 1987 by the famous conductor Lorin Maazel, who said, »The orchestral score itself is the ‘Ring’, encoded in sound. When you decipher this code, it turns out to be a story, a legend, a song, a philosophy – in countless cosmic overtones and human undertones.« Maazel’s »symphonic synthesis« aims to bring this »sound code« closer to the audience. And indeed, the orchestral decoction has no need of words: prominent vocal parts are taken over by the instruments, which present the many catchy melodies and leitmotifs that Wagner called »emotional signposts« for the listeners. The music follows the operatic chronology of the »festival for the stage« exactly, from the first note of »Rheingold« to the final chord of »Götterdämmerung«. The performance of this great symphony of music theatre is truly something to look forward to – a concert of just under 75 minutes, both for curious newcomers to Wagner’s world and for die-hard fans who simply don’t have the time for a 15-hour »Ring« marathon!
»Der Ring ohne Worte« – allein der Titel macht schon neugierig auf das, was in diesem Konzert zu erwarten ist. Alles dreht sich um Wagners zeitlose Parabel der Macht und der Liebe – das monumentale Weltendrama vom »Ring des Nibelungen«, das Loriot einmal mit den Worten kommentierte: »Die Täter im gewaltigsten Drama der Musikgeschichte sind eigentlich ganz nette Leute. Nur eine gemeinsame Leidenschaft wird ihnen zum Verhängnis. In blindem, lieblosem Gewinnstreben vernichten sie sich selbst und ihre Welt.« Wir spielen einen faszinierenden Schnelldurchlauf durch die vier Opern des Opus Magnum, ganz ohne Bühnenbilder, Sänger und Kostüme – 1987 erstellt vom berühmten Dirigenten Lorin Maazel, der meinte: »Die Orchesterpartitur selbst ist der ›Ring‹, verschlüsselt in einen Klang-Code. Entziffert man diesen Code, so entpuppt er sich als eine Geschichte, eine Sage, ein Lied, eine Philosophie – in zahllosen kosmischen Obertönen und menschlichen Untertönen.« Diesen »Klang-Code« wollte er in seiner »symphonischen Synthese« dem Publikum näher bringen. Und das orchestrale Destillat kommt auch gut ohne Worte aus: Dort, wo man eine der prominenten Gesangspartien vermis-sen könnte, übernimmt ein Instrument die Rolle und präsentiert eine der vielen eingängigen Melodien und Leitmotive – welche Wagner als »Gefühlswegweiser« für die Hörer bezeichnete. Die Musik folgt genau der Opern-Chronologie des »Bühnenfestspiels«, vom ersten »Rheingold«-Ton bis zum Schlussakkord der »Götterdämmerung«. Die Aufführung dieser großartigen Musiktheater-Symphonie kann wahrlich mit Spannung erwartet werden – ein knapp 75-minütiges Konzert für alle neugierigen Einsteiger in Wagners Welt und eben- so für eingefleischte Liebhaber, die gerade keine Zeit für einen 15 Stunden langen »Ring«-Marathon haben!

AN INTERDISCIPLINARY WAGNER LABORATORY
Richard Wagner’s music has long been a fixture in the concerts of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Under Jonathan Nott, we gave concert performances of almost all of Wagner’s operas. In 2013 we were guests at the Lucerne Festival, performing the entire »Ring des Nibelungen«. The orchestra’s history likewise repeatedly reveals points of contact, from a »Walküre« under Joseph Keilberth, which we performed in Barcelona in 1955 as a Bayreuth Festival guest performance, to our predecessor orchestra at the German Opera House in Prague, which on 1 January 1914 gave the first performance of »Parsifal« outside Bayreuth, following the expiry of the copyright restricting performances of the work to the Festspielhaus.
This year we would like to give our curiosity full rein in exploring the effects of Wagner’s music. In a concert series inspired by the recent book by New York music critic and author Alex Ross, »The World After Wagner« will be brought to life in a kind of musical laboratory. Music, texts and images dealing with the Wagner phenomenon will be interwoven in an interdisciplinary fashion – a kind of tribute to Wagner’s concept of the »Gesamtkunstwerk«. In addition, we will perform the »Ring Without Words« in Lorin Maazel’s popular version and show Fritz Lang’s legendary 1924 silent film about »Siegfried« – accompanied live by the original film music.
We hope to (re)awaken your curiosity about Wagner and look forward to embarking on this journey of discovery together!
Jakub Hrůša Conductor
SONDERKONZERT »Die Welt nach Wagner«
Seit langem ist die Musik Richard Wagners ein Fixpunkt in der Konzerttätigkeit der Bamberger Symphoniker: In der Ära Jonathan Nott führten wir in Bamberg fast alle Wagner-Opern in konzertanter Form auf. 2013 waren wir mit dem gesamten »Ring des Nibelungen« beim Lucerne Festival zu Gast. Auch die Orchester-geschichte zeigt immer wieder Anknüpfungspunkte auf, von einer »Walküre« unter Joseph Keilberth, die wir 1955 als Gastspiel der Bayreuther Festspiele in Barcelona aufführten, bis hin zu unserem Vorgänger-Orchester im Deutschen Opernhaus in Prag, das am 1. Januar 1914 die erste Aufführung des »Parsifal« außerhalb Bayreuths nach Ablauf der Schutzfrist spielte.
Dieses Jahr möchten wir mit großer Neugier der Wirkung der Wagnerschen Musik nachspüren. In einer Konzertreihe, die durch das aktuelle Buch des New Yorker Musikkritikers und Autors Alex Ross inspiriert ist, soll die »Die Welt nach Wagner« in einer Art Labor zum Klingen gebracht werden. Musik, Texte und Bilder zum Phänomen Wagner werden interdisziplinär verwoben – im Grunde also auch eine Art Hommage an das »Gesamtkunstwerk«. Dazu führen wir den »Ring ohne Worte« in der beliebten Fassung von Lorin Maazel auf und zeigen den legendären Stummfilm von Fritz Lang über »Siegfried« aus dem Jahr 1924 – live von der originalen Filmmusik begleitet.
Wir hoffen, auch Ihre Neugier auf Wagner (neu) zu wecken und sind gespannt auf die gemeinsame Entdeckungsreise.

Als junger Mann schrieb er 1975 in Moskau seine Pastorale, in der er den Klängen der Natur nachspürte. Besonderes Augenmerk legte er auf den Vogelgesang, indem er jeder Art ein eigenes Instrument zuordnete.

David Alden’s acclaimed staging of Wagner’s early masterpiece, first seen in 2018, places the opera in the timeless setting of a bombed-out city – a dystopian world threatened from outside, where the people are looking for both a sense of direction and a new leader.
American heldentenor Brandon Jovanovich leads the cast as the mysterious ‘swan knight’ Lohengrin, sent to defend the accused Elsa von Brabant, under the condition that she must never ask his true identity. Former Jette Parker Young Artists Jennifer Davis and Kostas Smoriginas return to Covent Garden as Elsa and the wicked Friedrich von Telramund, while Anna Smirnova and Maida Hundeling share the role of Telramund’s evil wife Ortrud. Jakub Hrůša conducts.

Vorísek: Symphony in D
Beethoven: Symphony No.9 (Choral)
Beethoven stretches the scale and structure of the symphonic form further than anyone had dared before him.
And in the final movement he breaks the boundaries of the orchestra itself, invoking the human voice to share his message of brotherhood.
His setting of Schiller’s Ode to Joy has become an anthem for freedom and fellowship around the world.
Hearing it live is still an exhilarating experience, almost 200 years after its triumphant premiere.
To pave the way for this musical icon, Jakub Hruša has chosen a symphony composed by his compatriot Voríšek just a few years before Beethoven’s.
Voríšek moved to Vienna from his Bohemian home (now in the Czech Republic) with the express hope of meeting Beethoven and establishing himself as a composer.
He succeeded in both, and became firm friends with Schubert, too.
His only symphony is full of melodic invention and contrasts of mood.

Bedřich Smetana: »Má vlast« (»Mein Vaterland«, Auszüge)
Scintillating fusion of nations! A contemporary raved about Smetana: »Richly knowledgeable, he had seen much, suffered much, and was a skilled and exciting storyteller.« The great Czech composer was fascinated by his homeland’s wonderful landscapes and wealth of legends. His magnificent national epic »Má vlast«, written between 1874 and 1879, creates a portrait of some of these scenes and myths. Our musical journey starts at the »Vyšehrad«, where it seems a medieval bard is evoking the royal castle’s glorious past. This is followed by the deathless »earworm« of the Vltava theme: Smetana’s music atmospherically traces the course of the river from its source to its mouth. The next tone poem revolves around the legendary warrior maiden »Šárka«, who leads a bloodthirsty campaign of revenge against unfaithful lovers – after first arousing the curiosity of men through her wiles. Finally, there is the atmospheric »From Bohemia’s Woods and Fields«, a light-hearted foray into scenes of pastoral beauty. Hélène Grimaud, too, believes nature to be the »humanity’s most important muse« – and her performances are also always driven by »curiosity and a sense of adventure«. Together with our orchestra, this exceptional artist will interpret the last piano concerto by Bartók, who, as an avid researcher of folk music, spent decades travelling across his native Hungary and to other countries with a phonograph. He completed his Third Piano Concerto in 1945 shortly before his death in exile in the USA – and it is imbued with his longing for his homeland and his love of nature: we hear a Hungarian children’s song, as well as the »music of a night filled with birds and insects«, which Bartók had noted down in North Carolina.

Gustav Mahler Symphonie Nr. 2 c-Moll
This concert ventures into the thrilling spheres of an epic work by the symphonic philosopher Gustav Mahler, who once confessed: »When I listen to music – even while conducting – I often hear very specific answers to all my questions, and am completely clear and certain.« Mahler was always interested in the intellectual currents of his time, and had a thirst for knowledge that naturally was reflected in his music. The musicologist Constantin Floros has referred to this attitude as »Mahler’s intellectual curiosity«. Mahler’s thinking and composing usually centred on philosophical, religious, and existential questions. His Second Symphony, premiered in 1895 and nicknamed the »Resurrection Symphony«, is one of the symphonies that explores his worldview. The eternal human questions of death and resurrection are evoked in a massive symphonic fresco – incorporating the human voice as the »ultima ratio« of musical annunciation. Mahler called the poignant opening movement »Totenfeier« (funeral ceremony); in the second movement, the light-hearted melodies of the Ländler, a country dance, are heard; and the Scherzo presents a transformation of the song from »Des Knaben Wunderhorn« about St. Anthony’s futile sermon to the fish – until finally the chant of the »Urlicht« (primal light) rises up, intensifying into fervent pleading: »Ich bin von Gott und will wieder zu Gott« (»I am of God and want to return to God«). The Finale, which Mahler says represents a »Great Summons«, at first is characterised by highly agitated outbursts, including an offstage orchestra. But then, as if from another world, a lonely birdcall from the piccolo is heard, and Klopstock’s »Resurrection Ode« rises as if by magic – very cautiously at first, but Mahler gradually increases the tension as the music progresses, coming to a gripping climax in the words: »Sterben werd’ ich, um zu leben! Auferstehen, ja auferstehen wirst du!« – »I will die in order to live! You will be resurrected, yes, resurrected!«

Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 2 in C minor (“Resurrection”)
It’s sure to be included in a canon of classics: Mahler’s “Resurrection” Symphony, one of the most popular orchestral works of all time, will be performed by the Bamberger Symphoniker, whose latest Mahler recordings brought home all the major awards. A characteristic example of the powerful aesthetic that prevailed around 1900, this monumental symphony featuring choir, solo voice, and off-stage orchestra is hard to surpass in terms of effect. Its structure anticipated the cinematic melodrama: each “scene” escalates into a “catastrophe,” which is followed by the next “scene” – and then the next catastrophe. “I will die in order to live!” the choir proclaims ecstatically. The core of this symphony is life itself, it is addressed to faltering mankind with all our metamorphoses.

Mahler called the poignant opening movement »Totenfeier« (funeral ceremony); in the second movement, the light-hearted melodies of the Ländler, a country dance, are heard; and the Scherzo presents a transformation of the song from »Des Knaben Wunderhorn« about St. Anthony’s futile sermon to the fish – until finally the chant of the »Urlicht« (primal light) rises up, intensifying into fervent pleading: »Ich bin von Gott und will wieder zu Gott« (»I am of God and want to return to God«). The Finale, which Mahler says represents a »Great Summons«, at first is characterised by highly agitated outbursts, including an offstage orchestra. But then, as if from another world, a lonely birdcall from the piccolo is heard, and Klopstock’s »Resurrection Ode« rises as if by magic – very cautiously at first, but Mahler gradually increases the tension as the music progresses, coming to a gripping climax in the words: »Sterben werd’ ich, um zu leben! Auferstehen, ja auferstehen wirst du!« – »I will die in order to live! You will be resurrected, yes, resurrected!«

Gustav Mahler Symphonie Nr. 9
»My symphonies exhaust the content of my entire life; in them, I have set down what I have experienced and suffered, truth and poetry in musical notes. And to a skilled reader, they would indeed transparently reveal my life.« (Gustav Mahler) We want to arouse the »curiosité« of our Parisian audience with a monumental work – and at the same time prove that an interest in composers’ biographies is a sign not of trivial curiosity, but of a thirst for knowledge. Often musical works reflect actual events from their composers’ lives. Mahler in particular is often recognizable as the protagonist of his philosophically influenced works, which carry him through the ups and downs of existence. When he sketched his last complete symphony in the summer of 1909, secluded in his composer’s cottage, his world had been shattered. His four-year-old daughter Maria Anna had died, he had become increasingly estranged from his wife Alma, and he had been diagnosed with a heart valve defect. In this work, he left behind a highly emotional rollercoaster of feelings ranging from deep gloom, melancholy, and pessimism to consolation, from earthly tragedy to transcendental rapture. While he regarded the composition of his early symphonies as »building a world«, the Ninth is more concerned with deconstructing that world. It bids a retrospective farewell to everything that constituted his artistic thinking. Quotations from earlier works appear alongside folk elements, and the Finale is a heartbreaking Adagio movement – all in all, a musical parable of living and dying: in the draft score, Mahler noted the words: »Farewell! O youthful days! Vanished! O, love! Gone with the wind!«

Petr Fiala Stabat Mater
Leoš Janáček Glagolitische Messe (“Glagolská mse”)
This concert revolves around Brno, the home of our chief conductor, the featured composers, and the invited performers – featuring works that deserve to be heard with open and curious ears. Petr Fiala, born in 1943, is the founder and music director of the famous Czech Philharmonic Choir Brno. He studied in Brno, later worked there as a professor himself, and is now an honorary citizen of the city. The award-winning artist has composed more than 180 works that, thanks to his sensitive combination of traditional and contemporary elements, have received great acclaim. It was his heartfelt wish that Jakub Hrůša would one day conduct his »Stabat Mater« – a setting of the medieval poem full of rich musical colour. Fiala’s daughter also features as one of the evening’s soloists. Our programme also includes Janáček’s »Glagolitic Mass«, first performed in Brno in 1927, which differs significantly from other Mass settings and is quite unique within the repertoire of sacred music. When the 72-year-old composer wrote this work, shortly before his death, he consciously wanted to stand out from the Western tradition and spoke confidently of a »joyful mass« inspired by the natural spectacle of a thunderstorm. Although the Mass follows the traditional ordinary from Kyrie to Agnus Dei, the language is not Latin, but 9th-century Church Slavonic. The work is unusual in musical terms, too, for its tone is quite secular. Agitated sections contrast with tender passages. Just before the end, Janáček includes a brilliant organ solo, bringing the Mass to an end by elatedly celebrating the entry into the full-blown, sensuous life of nature.

Robert Schumann Konzert für Violine und Orchester d-Moll
Anton Bruckner Symphonie Nr. 9 d-Moll
Robert Schumann had his very own recipe for keeping his listeners’ curiosity alive: »The audience sometimes needs to be impressed. They become indifferent the moment they are made too comfortable. But if the composer throws a stone towards them now and again, or even at their heads, they will all duck in fear and sing your praises once the piece has ended.« Schumann built a few »musical stones« into his wonderful violin concerto: it was written in 1853 for Joseph Joachim, but when it was finished, Joachim complained that some passages were »rhythmically wayward« and »excruciatingly difficult« – and refused to play it. And thus the concerto disappeared from the repertoire for more than 80 years, pigeonholed as the work of a madman. Quite undeservedly so, as it is full of enchanting passages, as our soloist will demonstrate impressively: Frank Peter Zimmermann, whom we accompanied in his very first performance with an orchestra at the beginning of his career – and with whom we feel a strong artistic connection. Next, we will present Bruckner’s final symphonic sound cosmos. Bruckner’s gargantuan works likewise caused many to shake their heads, some critics even accusing him of writing the same symphony nine times. Despite this, Bruckner’s contemporaries were always curious about the works of the »church musician of the concert hall« – including, of course, the three-movement torso of the Ninth Symphony, written in 1896, the year of Bruckner’s death. First performed in 1903, the symphony is an impressive aural journey and, according to the testimony of Bruckner’s physician, dedicated to »the majesty of all majesties, dear God« – »if he wants to accept it«, as the deeply devout composer reverently added.

Rodion Shchedrin: Konzert für Klavier und Orchester Nr. 4
Anton Bruckner: Symphonie Nr. 9 d-Moll
»The piano concerto was always the testing ground for my experiments.« This concert presents Rodion Shchedrin, a composer born in Moscow in 1932 who now also lives in Munich, and who has long piqued our curiosity. His extensive oeuvre has always drawn on previous generations while being equally open to new influences at the same time. Steinway commissioned his fourth piano concerto in 1991 – and it is truly an emotional ode to the instrument. The work bears the subtitle »Sharp Keys«, captivating listeners with its fascinating tonal colour and sound effects. We welcome the celebrated pianist Anika Vavić as an expert performer of Shchedrin’s works: she performed the Russian as well as the Austrian and German premieres of the concerto and worked closely with the composer to develop the refined solo part – which still piques her curiosity: »The more I play the work, the more exciting it becomes for me.« Then, to mark the 125th anniversary of his death, we will dive into a »divine« confessional work by Anton Bruckner that our principal conductor has studied intensely. For many decades, the symphonic genre was Bruckner’s preferred field of endeavour. But like many other composers, he had a problem with the number nine, which, according to Beethoven’s symphonic legacy, was seen as a magical and indeed oppressive boundary. Fearfully, Bruckner said: »I don’t want to begin the Ninth at all, I daren’t.« But obviously his urge to create was too great, and in 1896 he completed a torso of only three movements dedicated »to dear God«, dying the same year. The symphony is a masterly swansong, with a heartfelt Adagio that Bruckner tellingly wanted to be understood as a »farewell to life«.

We can quickly hear why Anton Bruckner called his Fourth Symphony “Romantic”. There is a distinct feeling of longing and closeness to nature – for instance, in the horn call at the beginning, the melancholy singing of the strings and the vigorous sounds of the hunt. Jakub Hrůša, chief conductor of the Bamberger Symphoniker, leads the orchestra in this concert. He also conducts the world premiere of Keyframes for a Hippogriff by Olga Neuwirth, one of the most prominent composers of our time. According to the composer, the work is about trying “to remain a free soul despite the despair and pain in this world”.

Klosters Music 2021 dedicates the opening concert to the great composer Mozart and his love for the Bohemian city of Prague.
It is hardly surprising that Prague, one of the musical capitals of 18th Century Europe, was home to many fine ensembles and had a vibrant operatic tradition. It attracted Mozart and his contemporaries who were impressed by its charisma and charm. Mozart (1756-1791) visited Prague at least 4 times and was idolised by its public. Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni were performed to great acclaim and La clemenza di Tito was commissioned for the coronation of the King of Bohemia in 1791.
Mozart’s Symphony no 38 was premiered in Prague in 1787. Straining the limits of what his orchestra can do, Mozart creates a tumult of symphonic imagination and riotous creativity. A lifetime of listening will not exhaust its richness. We are delighted to welcome the leading Czech conductor, Jakub Hrůša and The Basel Chamber Orchestra to Klosters for what promises to be a definitive performance of this work. The A major piano concerto of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is a work of lyricism and serenity, elegant and flowing. It is recognised as one of Mozart’s greatest achievements. The French pianist Lucas Debargue, a Laureate of the XV Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow where he was awarded the critics’ prize for his incredible gifts, artistic vision and creative freedom, will perform this sublime work. A selection of Arias from Don Giovanni and La nozze di Figaro complete the program.

Open-air concertwith Jakub Hrůša
To mark the 75th birthday of our extraordinary orchestra, we will present the citizens of Bamberg with an extraordinary concert at an extraordinary location: an open-air concert in the Bamberg city area, celebrating a musical summer festival for everyone, young and old, from far and near. Where exactly our concert will take place will be announced at a later date. Together with those responsible at Bamberg’s city council, we are looking for a place where all friends of the orchestra will be able to experience classical music in a truly special atmosphere. Let us surprise you!
In the afternoon there will be a colourful programme for families, and afterwards our Audience Orchestra will perform under our principal conductor Jakub Hrůša. Together with musicians of the Bamberg Symphony, selected works are rehearsed and performed, thus giving amateur musicians the opportunity to perform together with members of a professional symphony orchestra.
The highlight of the evening will be an open-air concert by our orchestra featuring a surprise programme of popular classical music.

George Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue for Piano and Orchestra
Leonard Bernstein: Candide Overture
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
This concert will light a musical firework display to mark the end of the year. According to Gershwin, his »Cuban Overture« of 1932 was the fruit of »two hysterical weeks in Cuba«. This spirited work combines dances such as the rumba, new percussion instruments and folk songs such as the famous »Échale Salsita«. In his »Rhapsody in Blue«, first performed in 1924, Gershwin wanted to depict the »musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot«. This masterpiece features a loose arrangement of swing themes, sparkling rhythms and blues elements. Kirill Gerstein will be our soloist. Music composed by Ferde Grofé in 1926 will take us on a journey to the »father of waters«: We will conjure up the adventures of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn as he travels down the Mississippi River in search of a better life. Bernstein created a smash hit with his »West Side Story«, a modern version of Shakespeare’s »Romeo and Juliet« that tells the story of the struggle between two street gangs and a love affair across the divide between them. His »Symphonic Dances« contain famous melodies such as the hopeful song »Somewhere« as well as lush sound effects with numerous Latin rhythms. Bernstein’s comic operetta »Candide«, based on Voltaire’s social satire, was written in 1956 and is a fast-paced musical journey through various European countries and South America. Loriot described the work humorously: »Candide loves Cunigunde, and we accompany the couple – usually separately – on a kind of adventure holiday. On this trip, the likeable lovers take in everything that makes contemporary tourism so entertaining.«
Zum beschwingten Jahresausklang zünden wir ein rhythmisches Feuerwerk. Laut Gershwins Aussage ist seine »Cuban Overture« von 1932 die Frucht »zweier wahnsinniger Wochen in Kuba«. Tänze wie Rumba, neuartige Schlaginstrumente und Volkslieder wie das damals berühmte »Échale Salsita« hat er in dem temperamentvollen Werk vereint. Mit seiner 1924 uraufgeführten »Rhapsody in Blue« wollte er ein »musikalisches Kaleidoskop Amerikas – unseres ungeheuren Schmelztiegels« zeichnen. Swingthemen, zündende Rhythmen und Blueselemente erscheinen in dem Meisterwerk in einer lockeren Fügung. Prominenter Solist dafür ist Kirill Gerstein. Mit der 1926 komponierten Musik von Ferde Grofé gibt es einen Ausflug zum »Vater der Gewässer«: Wir beschwören die Abenteuer von Huckleberry Finn herauf, der auf der Suche nach einem besseren Leben in Mark Twains Geschichte den Mississippi hinabzieht. Bernstein schuf einen Gassenhauer mit seiner »West Side Story«, der modernen Version von Shakespeares »Romeo und Julia«: ein Kampf zweier Straßenbanden und die Geschichte einer Liebesbeziehung, die über die Fronten hinweg existiert. Die »Symphonischen Tänze« enthalten berühmte Melodien wie die des hoffnungsvollen Liedes »Somewhere«, außerdem üppige Klangwirkungen mit zahlreichen Latin-Rhythmen. Bernsteins komische Operette »Candide« nach Voltaires Gesellschaftssatire entstand 1956 und ist ein rasanter musikalischer Streifzug durch verschiedene europäische Länder bis nach Südamerika. Loriot umschrieb das Werk mit den humorvollen Worten: »Candide liebt Cunigunde, und wir begleiten das Paar – meist getrennt – auf einer Art Abenteuerurlaub, wobei die sympathischen Liebesleute sich nichts entgehen lassen, was den zeitgemäßen Tourismus so kurzweilig gestaltet.«

Richard Wagner: Overture to Die Feen
Ernest Bloch: “Schelomo” Hebrew Rhapsody for Cello for Violoncello and Orchestra
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, also known as the Pastoral
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
Wagner wrote »Die Feen« (»The Fairies«) in 1833 at the age of twenty. It was his first opera to be completely set to music and is based on the fairy-tale play »La donna serpent« (»The Snake Woman«). Wagner later gifted it to King Ludwig of Bavaria. The plot revolves around a king’s love for a fairy. He is not permitted to search for her name or origins – but his curiosity is too great and the fairy is turned into stone. In the end, however, a magician helps to break the spell. The overture is a kaleidoscope of the opera’s most important motifs. This will be followed by a fascinating work by Ernest Bloch, who wanted to create a national Jewish music without quoting directly from folk music: »I obeyed an inner voice that emerged when I read certain biblical passages and came to resound as an ancient heritage in my music.« He wrote the colourful rhapsody »Schelomo« in 1916, when he was becoming increasingly depressed by the experiences of the First World War. »Schelomo« is based on the Book of Ecclesiastes. While the orchestra represents the surrounding world, the cello speaks with Solomon’s voice, creating a vision of the splendour at his court – and at the same time expressing the wisdom: »And behold, all is vanity!« In this piece, our solo cellist Ulrich Witteler will speak for Solomon.
To conclude our concerts, which fall a few days after the anniversary of Beethoven’s baptism, we will once again focus on the great jubilarian. In his »Pastoral Symphony«, he atmospherically explores the ways of representing the feelings experienced in nature and the events of country life – including folkloristic melodies and a boisterous, »strikingly comical« dance, in which Beethoven pokes fun at the somewhat clumsy playing of a village band.
Sie ist das Werk eines Zwanzigjährigen und seine erste vollständig vertonte Oper: »Die Feen« komponierte Wagner 1833 nach dem Märchenspiel »La donna serpente« (»Die Frau als Schlange«) und schenkte sie später König Ludwig von Bayern. Die Handlung dreht sich um die Liebe eines Königs zu einer Fee. Er darf nur niemals nach ihrem Namen und ihrer Herkunft forschen – doch seine Neugier ist zu groß, die Fee wird in Stein verwandelt, aber mithilfe eines Zauberers wieder erlöst. Die Ouvertüre ist ein Kaleidoskop der wichtigsten Motive. Danach erklingt ein faszinierendes Werk von Ernest Bloch, der stets eine national-jüdische Musik verwirklichen wollte, aber ohne direkte Folklore-Zitate: »Ich habe auf eine innere Stimme gehorcht, die sich bei der Lektüre bestimmter Bibelstellen erhob und als uraltes Erbe in meiner Musik zum Klingen kam.« Die farbenreiche Rhapsodie »Schelomo« schrieb er 1916, als ihn die Erfahrungen des Ersten Weltkrieges zunehmend bedrückten. Sie gründet sich auf Salomons Buch der Predigten. Während das Orchester die umgebende Welt darstellt, spricht das Cello anstelle des Königs und bringt eine Vision des Glanzes an seinem Hof – und zugleich die Weisheit: »Und siehe, alles ist eitel!« Unser Solo-Cellist Ulrich Witteler erhebt in diesem Stück seine musikalische Stimme.
Zum Abschluss rücken wir ein paar Tage nach Beethovens Tauftag noch einmal sein großes Jubiläum in den Fokus. In der »Pastoral-Symphonie« hat er auf atmosphärische Weise die Möglichkeiten ausgelotet, Empfindungen beim Erleben der Natur und Situationen des Landlebens darzustellen – mitsamt folkloristischen Melodien und einem ausgelassenen Tanzfest »von schlagender Komik«: Hier wird augenzwinkernd das etwas täppische Musizieren einer Dorfkapelle aufs Korn genommen.

Danach erklingt ein faszinierendes Werk von Ernest Bloch, der stets eine national-jüdische Musik verwirklichen wollte, aber ohne direkte Folklore-Zitate: »Ich habe auf eine innere Stimme gehorcht, die sich bei der Lektüre bestimmter Bibelstellen erhob und als uraltes Erbe in meiner Musik zum Klingen kam.« Die farbenreiche Rhapsodie »Schelomo« schrieb er 1916, als ihn die Erfahrungen des Ersten Weltkrieges zunehmend bedrückten. Sie gründet sich auf Salomons Buch der Predigten. Während das Orchester die umgebende Welt darstellt, spricht das Cello anstelle des Königs und bringt eine Vision des Glanzes an seinem Hof – und zugleich die Weisheit: »Und siehe, alles ist eitel!« Unser Solo-Cellist Ulrich Witteler erhebt in diesem Stück seine musikalische Stimme.
Zum Abschluss rücken wir ein paar Tage nach Beethovens Tauftag noch einmal sein großes Jubiläum in den Fokus. In der »Pastoral-Symphonie« hat er auf atmosphärische Weise die Möglichkeiten ausgelotet, Empfindungen beim Erleben der Natur und Situationen des Landlebens darzustellen – mitsamt folkloristischen Melodien und einem ausgelassenen Tanzfest »von schlagender Komik«: Hier wird augenzwinkernd das etwas täppische Musizieren einer Dorfkapelle aufs Korn genommen.

Richard Strauss: Eine Alpensymphonie op. 64
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
This concert will be our fourth guest performance in the Elbphilharmonie. We have been there every season since its opening, playing Mozart’s »Don Giovanni«, Smetana’s »Má vlast«, and most recently works by Wagner, Bruch and Brahms. This time, »cinema for the concert stage« will be our motto. The depiction of natural phenomena in music has held special significance for many centuries. We will present two magnificent examples of such pictures in music. As Beethoven once wrote in a letter to his friend Therese Malfatti: »No one can love the countryside as I do. After all, woods, trees, and rocks provide the echo that human beings long for!« When his Sixth Symphony was to be printed in 1809, Beethoven decided on the title »Pastoral Symphony or Memory of Country Life.« Allegedly »nightingales and cuckoos composed along« with Beethoven. It is easy to believe this story when listening to the work, which contains bursts of sunlight, a down-to-earth dance, and a veritable thunderstorm. Richard Strauss also loved nature, particularly the mountains. Thus his »Alpine Symphony« describes the stations of an all-day mountain hike and the situations encountered – from the ascent at sunrise, along a stream and a waterfall, across flowery meadows up to the alpine pasture, through thickets and undergrowth to a glacier, and then up to the summit. But before everything comes to a happy conclusion, a heavy storm of rain, thunder and lightning breaks out. According to an anecdote, Strauss was rehearsing the work with the Berlin Philharmonic when the orchestra leader suddenly dropped his bow. The composer smiled and said to the players: »Let’s wait a moment, the concertmaster has lost his umbrella.«
Es ist unser viertes Gastspiel in der Elbphilharmonie. Seit ihrer Eröffnung waren wir jede Saison dort – mit Mozarts »Don Giovanni«, Smetanas »Mein Vaterland« und zuletzt mit Werken von Wagner, Bruch und Brahms. Nun lautet das Motto: Kino für die Konzertbühne. Die Darstellung von Naturereignissen hat seit vielen Jahrhunderten einen besonderen Stellenwert in der Musik. Wir präsentieren zwei grandiose Beispiele solcher tönender Bilder. Wie schrieb Beethoven doch einmal in einem Brief an die Freundin Therese Malfatti: »Kein Mensch kann das Land so lieben wie ich. Geben doch Wälder, Bäume, Felsen den Widerhall, den der Mensch wünscht!« Anlässlich der Drucklegung seiner sechsten Symphonie im Jahr 1809 entschied er sich für die Titelformulierung »Pastoral-Symphonie oder Erinnerung an das Landleben«. Angeblich sollen hier sogar »Nachtigallen und Kuckucke mitkomponiert« haben. Beim Hören dieses sonnendurchfluteten Werkes, in dem es auch ein bodenständiges Tanzfest und einen veritablen Gewittersturm gibt, glaubt man dieser Geschichte aufs Wort. Richard Strauss liebte die Natur ebenfalls, besonders die Berge. Und so schildert seine »Alpensymphonie« Stationen und Situationen einer ganztägigen Bergwanderung – vom Aufstieg bei Sonnenaufgang, am Bach und einem Wasserfall entlang, auf blumigen Wiesen hoch zur Alm, durch Dickicht und Gestrüpp zum Gletscher und dann zum Gipfel. Bevor am Ende alles wieder gut wird, bricht ein starkes Unwetter mit Regen, Blitz und Donner aus. Laut einer Anekdote probte Strauss das Werk einmal mit den Berliner Philharmonikern, als dem Konzertmeister plötzlich der Bogen aus der Hand fiel. Der Komponist schmunzelte und meinte zu den Orchestermitgliedern: »Warten wir einen Augenblick, der Konzertmeister hat seinen Regenschirm verloren.«

Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
»True art remains everlasting, and the true artist takes heartfelt pleasure in great works of the mind.« (Ludwig van Beethoven) 2020 marks this composer’s 250th birthday, and thus this concert will once again pay tribute to Beethoven’s »true art«. Our first offering is a work heard less frequently than his other solo concertos, because it requires not one, but three instrumental soloists! Beethoven presented the Triple Concerto, first performed in 1808, to his publisher with the remark that »a concertante with three concertante voices is something new, after all«. But it is precisely this extraordinary »ménage-à-trois« that creates the charm of this playful work with its »lavishly indulgent imagination« and majestic finale in a dance-like polonaise rhythm. We are delighted to present this important composition together with the internationally renowned soloists Lars Vogt, Karen Gomyo and Julian Steckel. After this, we will dive into the yearningly imagined natural world of Beethoven’s »Pastoral Symphony«. This atmospheric work describes life in the country, including bird calls, hunting and a thunderstorm – and its third movement also depicts a cheerful dance scene, although Beethoven parodies the playing of the village band, with a few instruments always lagging a little behind. A contemporary critic described this »Merry gathering of country folk«: »We see the poet rise from his lyrical tranquillity beside the brook to be merry with the merry. The shepherds cheerfully go on ahead, making music. The lads spin their pretty lasses around in a sprightly dance. We can hear them cheering and believe that we ourselves are witnessing their lively capers.«
»Wahre Kunst bleibt unvergänglich und der wahre Künstler hat inniges Vergnügen an großen Geistes-Produkten.« (Ludwig van Beethoven) Im Jubiläumsjahr 2020 anlässlich seines 250. Geburtstages würdigen wir in diesem Konzert noch einmal Beethovens »wahre Kunst«, zunächst mit einem Werk, welches im Vergleich zu anderen Solokonzerten eher selten zu hören ist. Der Grund: Es erfordert gleich drei Instrumentalsolisten – Beethoven bot das 1808 uraufgeführte Tripelkonzert seinem Verlag mit dem Hinweis an, dass »ein Konzertant mit solchen drei konzertierenden Stimmen doch auch etwas Neues« sei. Aber gerade diese außergewöhnliche »Ménage-à-trois« macht den Reiz des spielfreudigen Werkes mit seiner »üppig schwelgenden Phantasie« und dem majestätischen Finale im tänzerischen Polonaisen-Rhythmus aus. Wir freuen uns, diese bedeutende Komposition zusammen mit den international renommierten Solisten Lars Vogt, Karen Gomyo und Julian Steckel zu präsentieren. Danach tauchen wir in die sehnsuchtsvoll imaginierte Naturwelt von Beethovens »Pastoral-Symphonie« ein. Das atmosphärische Werk beschreibt das Leben auf dem Land, mitsamt Vogelrufen, Jagdgeschehen und einem Gewitter – und stellt im dritten Satz auch eine fröhliche Tanzszene dar, wobei Beethoven allerdings die aufspielende Dorfkapelle parodiert, indem ein paar Instrumente mit ihren Tönen immer etwas hinterherhinken. Ein zeitgenössischer Kritiker beschrieb dieses »lustige Zusammensein der Landleute« mit den Worten: »Wir sehen den Dichter sich erheben aus seiner lyrischen Ruhe am Bach, um nun fröhlich zu sein mit den Fröhlichen. Die Hirten ziehen munter und musizierend voraus. Die Burschen drehen ihre Schönen im flinken Tanze. Man hört sie jauchzen und glaubt selbst Zeuge des munteren Tanzes zu sein.«

»She revels in poetry and elegy, as if Edward Elgar had written his Cello Concerto just for her. When this artist lets her cello sing, her mastery making virtuoso passages seem like nothing at all, then optimism and zest in life flare up again and again amid the piece’s gentle melancholy,« a critic enthused about Sol Gabetta, who was our last season’s featured artist. We are delighted to now be going on tour with her, performing Elgar’s famous Cello Concerto. This work is pervaded by a well-nigh overwhelming nostalgia. When he wrote it in 1917, Elgar was horrified by the events of the First World War and trying to deal with the loss of people close to him. The result is a highly emotional work, charged with a sense of farewell – but before the melancholy cello is swept away by its cantilenas, a dancing rondo provides a brief ray of hope. We will complement this masterpiece with Bruckner’s »Romantic Symphony« in the revised version of 1878 to 1880 – a symphony of vast dimensions depicting extra-musical matter, although the composer once said: »I can’t remember myself what I was thinking of when I wrote it!« However, the horn call that sets the work’s tone evokes associations with the great outdoors and country life, and thus was once called the »Symphony of the Forest«. According to Bruckner, it features a »love-struck boy off to climb up to his lover’s window«, birds chirping, and a moving funeral march. In the famous Scherzo we hear a jaunty hunt and the melody of a Ländler, a country dance – here, Bruckner noted in the score: »Dance tune played during the meal while out hunting«.
»Sie schwelgt in Poesie und Elegie. Es ist, als hätte Edward Elgar ihr sein Cello-Konzert auf den Leib geschrieben. Wenn die Künstlerin das Cello singen lässt und virtuose Passagen meistert, als sei das gar nichts, dann blitzen hinter linder Trauer immer wieder Lebensmut und Daseinsfreude auf.« So schwärmte ein Kritiker über Sol Gabetta, die in der vergangenen Saison unsere Porträtkünstlerin war. Wir freuen uns, dass wir nun mit ihr auf Tournee das berühmte Cellokonzert von Elgar spielen können. Es ist durchzogen von einer schier übermächtigen Nostalgie: Der Komponist war 1917 schockiert von den Ereignissen des Ersten Weltkrieges und musste den Verlust nahestehender Menschen verarbeiten. Entstanden ist ein höchst emotionales Werk voller Abschiedsstimmung –doch bevor das schwermütige Violoncello am Ende weiter auf seinen Kantilenen davonschwimmen kann, sorgt ein tänzerisches Rondo kurzzeitig für einen Lichtblick. Außerdem spielen wir unter Leitung unseres Chefdirigenten Bruckners »Romantische« in der überarbeiteten Fassung der Jahre 1878 bis 1880 –eine Symphonie von gewaltigen Dimensionen und außermusikalischen Darstellungen, obwohl der Komponist einmal äußerte: »Ja, da woaß i’ selber nimmer, was i’ mir dabei denkt hab!« Aber allein der das Werk bestimmende Hornruf weckt Assoziationen an die freie Natur und das Landleben. Daher wurde sie auch einmal »Symphonie des Waldes« genannt. Es gibt laut Bruckner einen »verliebten Bub, der Fensterln geht«, außerdem Vogelgezwitscher, einen ergreifenden Trauermarsch und im berühmten Scherzo-Satz launiges Jagdgeschehen sowie eine Ländlermelodie – hier vermerkte Bruckner in der Partitur: »Tanzweise während der Mahlzeit auf der Jagd«.

Leoš Janáček Grand Suite from The Cunning Little Vixen, arranged by Jakub Hrůša
Richard Strauss: Eine Alpensymphonie op. 64
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
Janáček’s late romantic opera »The Cunning Little Vixen« is a wonderful tale about life’s secret yearnings. It is based upon a picture story published in the Brno daily newspaper, in which a forester catches the fox cub Sharp-Ears in the woods and takes her back to his home. However, the fox, the farm dachshund and the forester’s children end up in constant conflict. The vixen manages to escape back to the forest, where she falls in love with a dog fox, marries him and has lots of cubs herself – and all the while, the forester misses her terribly. Janáček used folk songs, animal calls and the melody of human language to develop the musical matter of this »Moravian midsummer night’s dream«, from which Jakub Hrůša has compiled a brand-new suite. The suite’s intoxicating musical colours will also feature on the programme of our trip to the Janáček festival in Brno, where our principal conductor was born. There too, as in Bamberg, the suite will be followed by Richard Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« – another great description of nature. Strauss chose the beloved mountains of his Bavarian homeland as his subject, creating an alpine »Tour d’orchestre« for an enormous orchestral apparatus including an organ, thunder and wind machine, and even cow bells! He said nonchalantly: »I wanted to compose a cow giving milk.« More than sixty motifs describe a nature experience that is easy to follow step by step when listening, thanks to the headings the composer noted meticulously in the score – an adventurous mountain hike starting at dawn and ending with an evening thunderstorm and the setting of the sun.
Konzerteinführung um 19.00 Uhr
Leoš Janáčeks spätromantische Oper »Das schlaue Füchslein« ist eine wunderbare Erzählung über die Geheimnisse und Sehnsüchte des Lebens. Sie basiert auf einer Bildergeschichte aus der Brünner Tageszeitung: Der Förster fängt im Wald eine junge Füchsin namens Schlaukopf und nimmt sie mit nach Hause. Doch mit seinem Hofdackel und den Kindern gibt es ständig Streit. Der Füchsin gelingt die Flucht zurück in den Wald, wo sie sich in einen Fuchs verliebt, ihn heiratet und viele Kinder bekommt – während der Förster sie schmerzlich vermisst. Aus Volksliedern, den Naturlauten der Tiere und der Melodik der menschlichen Sprache gewann Janáček die musikalische Substanz dieses »mährischen Sommernachtstraums« – aus dem Jakub Hrůša eine faszinierende Suite zusammengestellt hat.

Leoš Janáček Grand Suite from The Cunning Little Vixen, arranged by Jakub Hrůša
Richard Strauss: Eine Alpensymphonie op. 64
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
Janáček’s late romantic opera »The Cunning Little Vixen« is a wonderful tale about life’s secret yearnings. It is based upon a picture story published in the Brno daily newspaper, in which a forester catches the fox cub Sharp-Ears in the woods and takes her back to his home. However, the fox, the farm dachshund and the forester’s children end up in constant conflict. The vixen manages to escape back to the forest, where she falls in love with a dog fox, marries him and has lots of cubs herself – and all the while, the forester misses her terribly. Janáček used folk songs, animal calls and the melody of human language to develop the musical matter of this »Moravian midsummer night’s dream«, from which Jakub Hrůša has compiled a brand-new suite. The suite’s intoxicating musical colours will also feature on the programme of our trip to the Janáček festival in Brno, where our principal conductor was born. There too, as in Bamberg, the suite will be followed by Richard Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« – another great description of nature. Strauss chose the beloved mountains of his Bavarian homeland as his subject, creating an alpine »Tour d’orchestre« for an enormous orchestral apparatus including an organ, thunder and wind machine, and even cow bells! He said nonchalantly: »I wanted to compose a cow giving milk.« More than sixty motifs describe a nature experience that is easy to follow step by step when listening, thanks to the headings the composer noted meticulously in the score – an adventurous mountain hike starting at dawn and ending with an evening thunderstorm and the setting of the sun.
Konzerteinführung um 19.00 Uhr
Leoš Janáčeks spätromantische Oper »Das schlaue Füchslein« ist eine wunderbare Erzählung über die Geheimnisse und Sehnsüchte des Lebens. Sie basiert auf einer Bildergeschichte aus der Brünner Tageszeitung: Der Förster fängt im Wald eine junge Füchsin namens Schlaukopf und nimmt sie mit nach Hause. Doch mit seinem Hofdackel und den Kindern gibt es ständig Streit. Der Füchsin gelingt die Flucht zurück in den Wald, wo sie sich in einen Fuchs verliebt, ihn heiratet und viele Kinder bekommt – während der Förster sie schmerzlich vermisst. Aus Volksliedern, den Naturlauten der Tiere und der Melodik der menschlichen Sprache gewann Janáček die musikalische Substanz dieses »mährischen Sommernachtstraums« – aus dem Jakub Hrůša eine faszinierende Suite zusammengestellt hat. Mit dieser berauschenden Klangfarbenmusik fahren wir auch zwei Tage später zum Janáček-Festival in Brno, dem Geburtsort unseres Chefdirigenten. Auch dort, wie zuvor in Bamberg, folgt mit der »Alpensymphonie« von Richard Strauss eine weitere großartige Naturschilderung.

Programme:
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Overture The Hebrides op. 26
Robert Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54
Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
Mendelssohn Bartholdy was inspired by a wide variety of ideas and experiences. During his 1829 trip to Scotland, the 20-year-old Mendelssohn embarked upon an adventurous steamboat trip, reporting: »The ladies keeled over like flies, as did one or two gentlemen.« He was particularly impressed by the Hebridean island of Staffa, with its famous cave of the mythic Gaelic king Fingal. Fingal’s Cave inspired Mendelssohn’s ingenious concert overture op. 26, which he said he wanted to »taste of salt air, cod-liver oil and gulls.« Besides naturalistic sound painting, including elements of Scottish folk music, the overture’s more profound concern is the loneliness experienced on this »legendary archipelago«.
Next, our former featured artist Piotr Anderszewski will dive into the pianistic wonder world of Schumann’s romantic A minor Concerto of 1845. Schumann immortalized his beloved wife in its music – in an anagram representing the letters of the name »Chiara«, Clara’s name in the popular »Davidsbündlertänze«, in musical notes. Clara raved about the concerto: »How richly inventive it is, how interesting from beginning to end, how fresh, and what a beautiful coherent whole!«
Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is equally exciting. Clara described it as a »servant of beauty and nobility«. Brahms wrote this symphony during the summer months of 1884 and 1885 while on holiday in Styria, but wondered whether it would »gain an audience«, commenting ironically: »I fear it tastes like the local climate – the cherries here don’t get sweet!« But this splendid symphony is certainly no bitter cherry: its use of motifs and themes is nothing short of remarkable, its movements interlock subtly, taking us on a wonderfully twisting voyage of discovery!
Konzerteinführung um 19.00 Uhr
Vielfältig waren die Anregungen, von denen sich Mendelssohn Bartholdy inspirieren ließ. 1829 unternahm der damals 20-Jährige in Schottland eine abenteuerliche Dampfschifffahrt und berichtete: »Die Ladies fielen um wie die Fliegen, und der ein oder andere Gentleman tat es ihnen gleich.« Besonders beeindruckte ihn die Hebriden-Insel Staffa mit der berühmten Höhle des mythischen Königs Fingal – und ließ ihn seine raffinierte Konzertouvertüre op. 26 schreiben, über die er sagte, sie solle »nach Salzluft, Lebertran und Möwen schmecken«. Doch neben naturalistischer Klangmalerei mitsamt schottischer Folklore ist das tiefgründigere Thema die Einsamkeit, die ein Mensch auf dieser »sagenumwobenen Inselgruppe« erlebt. Danach taucht unser ehemaliger Porträtkünstler Piotr Anderszewski in die pianistische Wunderwelt von Schumanns romantischem a-Moll-Konzert ein. In der Musik hat er 1845 seine geliebte Frau verewigt: in einem Anagramm, das die Tonbuchstaben des Namens Chiara darstellt – Claras Name in den beliebten »Davidsbündlertänzen«. Sie schwärmte über das Konzert: »Wie reich an Erfindung, wie interessant vom Anfang bis zum Ende ist es, wie frisch und welch ein schönes zusammenhängendes Ganzes!«
Ebenso spannend ist die vierte Symphonie von Brahms – die Clara als »Dienerin von Schönem und Noblem« charakterisierte. Brahms schrieb sie 1884 und 1885 in den Sommermonaten im Urlaub in der Steiermark – fragte sich aber ironisch, ob sie wohl »Publikum kriegen wird«: »Ich fürchte nämlich, sie schmeckt nach dem hiesigen Klima – die Kirschen hier werden nicht süß!« Doch um bittere Kirschen handelt es sich bei der grandiosen Symphonie keineswegs: Sie lebt von bemerkenswerter motivisch-thematischer Arbeit und subtiler Verklammerung der Sätze – eine wunderbar verschlungene Entdeckungsreise!

Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
We are launching our anniversary season by dancing – for, as Plato already said, »Dance is the art that moves the human soul the most.« Carl Maria von Weber created a truly rapturous waltz in his popular 1819 composition »Invitation to the Dance«. The work presents a humorous episode: a gentleman asks a lady to dance, but she refuses him. He keeps on trying persistently, and finally she gives in. The couple whirl across the dance floor, sometimes swaying gently, sometimes stomping wildly – and when the dance is over, the gentleman courteously takes his lady back to her seat. We are delighted that Piotr Anderszewski, our featured artist of 2014 / 15, will return as our guest and interpret a work by this year’s jubilarian: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 of 1795 / 96 is actually his second, but was published first. A rhythmic main motif, festive virtuosity and brilliance, rapturous lyricism and the high-spirited dance-like finale characterise this fresh and youthful music.
This season’s opening concert with our principal conductor will conclude with a »river of sensations« – the Fourth Symphony by Bruckner, whose oeuvre was described as »actively agile, an ever-shifting spiritual radiance. What we love about Bruckner is his joy in being a traveller, a joy that had become lost.« In this concert, we will perform the symphony in the revised version of 1878 to 1880. Bruckner inscribed the name day of St. Cecilia, patron saint of music, at the end of the score. The final result is a romantic masterpiece with horn calls, birdsong, a funeral march, the sounds of country dances and a hunting scene. Bruckner said while composing the symphony: »Because the world in its present state is spiritually weak, I take flight to that which is strong, writing powerful music.«
Konzerteinführung um 19.00 Uhr
Tanzend starten wir in die Jubiläums-Saison – denn wie meinte doch bereits Platon: »Tanz ist die Kunst, die die Seele des Menschen am meisten bewegt.« Carl Maria von Weber schuf 1819 mit seiner populären Komposition »Aufforderung zum Tanz« einen wahren Walzerrausch. Dargestellt wird eine witzige Episode: Ein Herr fordert eine Dame zum Tanz auf, doch sie weist ihn zurück. Hartnäckig versucht er es weiter und endlich gibt sie nach. Auf der Tanzfläche dreht sich das Paar teils sanft wiegend, teils wild stampfend – und am Schluss bringt der Tänzer die Dame brav zu ihrem Platz zurück. Wir freuen uns, dass mit Piotr Anderszewski unser Porträtkünstler der Saison 2014 / 15 wieder zu Gast ist und ein Werk des diesjährigen Jubilars interpretiert: Beethovens erstes Klavierkonzert von 1795 / 96 ist eigentlich sein zweites, wurde aber als erstes veröffentlicht. Ein rhythmischer Grundgedanke, festlich-virtuoser Glanz, schwärmerische Lyrik und der übermütige Tanzgestus im Finale geben der jugendlich-frischen Musik das Gepräge.
Ein »Strom von Empfindungen« beendet den Saisonauftakt mit unserem Chefdirigenten – die vierte Symphonie von Bruckner, über dessen Œuvre es hieß: »Es erscheint tätige Beweglichkeit und sich wandelnde Ausstrahlung geistiger Art. Was wir an ihm lieben, das ist die ganz verloren gewesene Freude am Unterwegs.« Dieses Mal spielen wir die Symphonie in der revidierten Fassung der Jahre 1878 bis 1880. Unter die Partitur setzte Bruckner den Namenstag der heiligen Cäcilie, Schutzpatronin der Musik. Entstanden ist ein romantisches Meisterwerk mit Hornrufen, Vogelgezwitscher, Trauermarsch, Ländlerklängen und Jagdgeschehen – Bruckner sagte während der Komposition: »Weil die gegenwärtige Weltlage geistig gesehen Schwäche ist, flüchte ich zu Stärke und schreibe kraftvolle Musik.«

Programme:
Ludwig van Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61
Josef Suk: Asrael, Symphony in C minor, Op. 27
Czech Philharmonic Note:
Josef Suk began composing his funeral symphony Asrael while grieving over the death of his father-in-law Antonín Dvořák, then as he was working on the piece, Suk’s wife, Dvořák’s daughter Otilka, died as well. To this great work full of immense human suffering he gave the name of the Islamic and Hebrew angel of death. Gustav Mahler is, as it were, the unspoken godfather of Asrael. Suk’s symphonic masterpiece is both intoxicating and philosophical; it does not drive listeners to despair, but instead exhorts them to contemplate the inexorable nature of fate and to meditate on the eternal. Asrael is a symphony in which Suk recasts great personal sorrow into a masterpiece, a true milestone of Czech symphonic music, and a work worthy of standing alongside the world’s greatest compositions of the early twentieth century. The conductor Jakub Hrůša and the Czech Philharmonic will perform Asrael using the critical edition published in 2018 by Bärenreiter, which is based on not only Suk’s manuscript, but also corrections made later at the initiative of Václav Talich. On the first part of the programme will be the Violin Concerto in D Major by Ludwig van Beethoven with the outstanding violinist Jan Mráček playing the solo part.
Smuteční symfonii Asrael začal Josef Suk tvořit pod dojmem úmrtí svého tchána Antonína Dvořáka, v průběhu práce však zemřela i Sukova manželka a Dvořákova dcera Otilka. Velkému dílu plnému mužného a rozlehlého smutku dal jméno islámský či hebrejský anděl smrti, nevysloveným kmotrem Asraela jako by byl Gustav Mahler. Sukovo vrcholné symfonické dílo je stejně omamné a filozofující, nevnucuje posluchačům zoufalství, ale pobízí je k přemýšlení o nezvratnosti osudu a také o věčnosti. Asrael je symfonie, ve které se obrovský osobní smutek přetavil do mistrovského díla, opravdového milníku v české symfonické tvorbě a rovnocenné součásti špičkové světové tvorby začátku dvacátého století. Dirigent Jakub Hrůša a Česká filharmonie provedou Asraela z kritické edice, kterou v roce 2018 vydalo nakladatelství Bärenreiter. Ta vychází nejen ze Sukova rukopisu, ale také z jeho korektur, které později inicioval Václav Talich. V první části programu zazní Houslový koncert D dur Ludwiga van Beethovena, jehož sólový part provede vynikající houslista Jan Mráček.

Leonard Bernstein: Candide Overture
Bamberger Symphoniker Note:
This concert will light a musical firework display to mark the end of the year. According to Gershwin, his »Cuban Overture« of 1932 was the fruit of »two hysterical weeks in Cuba«. This spirited work combines dances such as the rumba, new percussion instruments and folk songs such as the famous »Échale Salsita«. In his »Rhapsody in Blue«, first performed in 1924, Gershwin wanted to depict the »musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot«. This masterpiece features a loose arrangement of swing themes, sparkling rhythms and blues elements. Kirill Gerstein will be our soloist. Music composed by Ferde Grofé in 1926 will take us on a journey to the »father of waters«: We will conjure up the adventures of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn as he travels down the Mississippi River in search of a better life. Bernstein created a smash hit with his »West Side Story«, a modern version of Shakespeare’s »Romeo and Juliet« that tells the story of the struggle between two street gangs and a love affair across the divide between them. His »Symphonic Dances« contain famous melodies such as the hopeful song »Somewhere« as well as lush sound effects with numerous Latin rhythms. Bernstein’s comic operetta »Candide«, based on Voltaire’s social satire, was written in 1956 and is a fast-paced musical journey through various European countries and South America. Loriot described the work humorously: »Candide loves Cunigunde, and we accompany the couple – usually separately – on a kind of adventure holiday. On this trip, the likeable lovers take in everything that makes contemporary tourism so entertaining.«
Zum beschwingten Jahresausklang zünden wir ein rhythmisches Feuerwerk. Laut Gershwins Aussage ist seine »Cuban Overture« von 1932 die Frucht »zweier wahnsinniger Wochen in Kuba«. Tänze wie Rumba, neuartige Schlaginstrumente und Volkslieder wie das damals berühmte »Échale Salsita« hat er in dem temperamentvollen Werk vereint. Mit seiner 1924 uraufgeführten »Rhapsody in Blue« wollte er ein »musikalisches Kaleidoskop Amerikas – unseres ungeheuren Schmelztiegels« zeichnen. Swingthemen, zündende Rhythmen und Blueselemente erscheinen in dem Meisterwerk in einer lockeren Fügung. Prominenter Solist dafür ist Kirill Gerstein. Mit der 1926 komponierten Musik von Ferde Grofé gibt es einen Ausflug zum »Vater der Gewässer«: Wir beschwören die Abenteuer von Huckleberry Finn herauf, der auf der Suche nach einem besseren Leben in Mark Twains Geschichte den Mississippi hinabzieht. Bernstein schuf einen Gassenhauer mit seiner »West Side Story«, der modernen Version von Shakespeares »Romeo und Julia«: ein Kampf zweier Straßenbanden und die Geschichte einer Liebesbeziehung, die über die Fronten hinweg existiert. Die »Symphonischen Tänze« enthalten berühmte Melodien wie die des hoffnungsvollen Liedes »Somewhere«, außerdem üppige Klangwirkungen mit zahlreichen Latin-Rhythmen. Bernsteins komische Operette »Candide« nach Voltaires Gesellschaftssatire entstand 1956 und ist ein rasanter musikalischer Streifzug durch verschiedene europäische Länder bis nach Südamerika. Loriot umschrieb das Werk mit den humorvollen Worten: »Candide liebt Cunigunde, und wir begleiten das Paar – meist getrennt – auf einer Art Abenteuerurlaub, wobei die sympathischen Liebesleute sich nichts entgehen lassen, was den zeitgemäßen Tourismus so kurzweilig gestaltet.«
