The idea that works of art are to be understood not only as original creations but also as part of an aesthetic dialogue unfolding across centuries lies at the heart of Michael Reudenbach’s orchestral work fast dasselbe [“almost the same”] – musical figures with ambiguous identities. Sand like gold-leaf in smithereens is the title of Clara Iannotta’s new concerto for violin and orchestra. Written for the violinist Carolin Widmann, the work allows the composer and the soloist to jointly explore the violin in new ways. With 33 Veränderungen über 33 Veränderungen [“33 Variations on 33 Variations”], Hans Zender has created a classic based on a classic: a re-interpretation of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations that is virtually unsurpassed in compositional ingenuity. Conducted by Franck Ollu, this performance will serve as a bridge to the upcoming Beethoven Year in 2027.
