According to legend, Giuseppe Tartini received the inspiration for his highly virtuosic Devil's Trill Sonata in a dream – from none other than the devil himself. It goes without saying, then, that it is literally devilishly difficult. Fortunately, however, in star violinist Ray Chen, an artist whose breathtaking technique is more than equal to the work is on stage. And he is in excellent company: the Amsterdam Sinfonietta certainly needs no introduction. In Béla Bartók's sparkling Divertimento for String Orchestra, the top Dutch ensemble lets the mischievous humor of the Hungarian grandmaster sparkle. And after the interval, the audience can expect not only Pietro Locatelli's Concerto Grosso, but also Ray Chen again, who is sure to rock the hall with the tango impressions of Astor Piazzolla's "Cuatro estaciones porteñas."

There's something magical about the change that comes with the seasons. The idea of ​​a leaf growing from a bare branch in spring seems unimaginable, at least during the winter months. And yet: as soon as the first warm rays of sunshine make their way through, everything sprouts and blooms everywhere. Accompanied by Israeli mandolinist Jacob Reuven, students from grades 1 to 4 stroll through the seasons in this concert. Surrounded by music spanning more than 250 years, spring, summer, autumn, and winter seem both distant and close at hand. Sometimes the messenger of spring sits chirping on our shoulder, sometimes we dance the tango with him through the colorful sea of ​​leaves.

"Todo cambia, menos el tango," goes an Argentinian proverb. "Everything changes, except the tango." And yet Astor Piazzolla succeeded in revolutionizing precisely this genre. His recipe for success: The composer complemented the rousing rhythms of the "Tango Argentino" with classical elements and jazzy timbres to create a finely balanced stylistic kaleidoscope. His "Tango Nuevo" was born, with which he rescued the traditional Argentinian tango from the disreputable establishments of Buenos Aires and established it as a virtuoso art form. While Piazzolla had to endure some hostility from his contemporaries for his "high treason against the tango," today he is celebrated for his stylistic revolution as one of the most important composers in modern music history. Since his death in 1992, his wife, Laura Escalada Piazzolla, has dedicated herself to preserving his valuable artistic legacy, launching the "Astor Piazzolla Quintet" project specifically for this purpose. As the only ensemble with access to the tango revolutionary's complete legacy, the ensemble has been faithfully bringing his unique sound into the present for 20 years – thus fulfilling Piazzolla's lifelong ambition to create a tango that would transcend time.

Die allseits beliebten Open-Air-Konzerte im Brunnenhof der Residenz atmen einen ganz besonderen Charme. Genau das Richtige für unseren Saisonabschluss! Dafür hat unser Chefdirigent Joseph Bastian wieder ein Programm zusammengestellt, das mit seinem Schwung wunderbar zur sommerlichen Stimmung passt. Diesmal geht es nach Südamerika: Der Brasilianer Heitor Villa-Lobos und der Argentinier Alberto Ginastera verbanden den rhythmischen Drive ihrer Heimat mit der kompositorischen Raffinesse der europäischen Moderne. Astor Piazzolla machte den vormals verruchten Tango Argentino konzertsaalfähig; in seinem wohl berühmtesten Stück verabschiedete er sich mit sehnsuchtsvollen Klängen von seinem Vater. Darius Milhaud galt in den 1920ern als enfant terrible der Pariser Musikszene; als Attaché des französischen Botschafters in Rio de Janeiro schnappte er lokale Sounds auf und integrierte sie in seine Werke. Mit der Saxofon-Virtuosin Asya Fateyeva ist eine dynamische Solistin mit von der Partie, die ebenfalls locker zwischen Klassik und anderen Musikstilen wandelt.

Then be transported to the rugged landscapes of South America with Astor Piazzolla’s Aconcagua, featuring Hanzhi Wang on the bandoneon, who wields the instrument with “staggering virtuosity.” Drawing inspiration from the majestic peaks of the Andes, Piazzolla’s composition captures the fiery spirit of Argentine tango with its lush melodies and pulsating rhythms. To close out the season, Shostakovich’s monumental Symphony No. 5 serves as a stirring testament to the triumph of the human spirit over oppression and tyranny.  From its brooding opening to its victorious finale, Shostakovich’s symphony resonates with themes of resilience, redemption, and the enduring promise of hope.

Tango is like waltz: popular dance rhythms were transformed into works of art for concert stages with the help of brilliant composers. And what Johann Strauss achieved on the one hand can undoubtedly be said for Astor Piazzolla on the other: he helped tango - which also exists in the triple-time version known as "Vals" - to gain worldwide recognition. But even though milongas are now taking place everywhere, Argentina is and remains the heart of this style of music. This is also shown by the other composers represented in this concert, whose works were compiled by the Buenos Aires-born Italian conductor Pablo Boggiano - who is known to be an expert in these sounds. Pasión, passion: if it was ever to be found in music, then it is in tango...
