Thursday Concert No. 8 »Between Worlds«

Volkshaus Jena

Dvořák’s goal for his Symphony No. 7, here conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada, was to surpass all of his previous efforts. Grand, gloomy, and dramatic, it contains few of the Slavic folk–derived, nationalistic elements associated with the composer. The influence of Brahms—particularly his recent Third Symphony, which impressed Dvořák as the finest symphony ever written—permeates the four movements. Mozart’s exuberant and expressive Piano Concerto No. 9 represented a great leap forward in ambition and achievement alike. The young Canadian soloist Jan Lisiecki interprets what legendary pianist Alfred Brendel called “one of the greatest wonders of the world.”

He was the legendary seducer—and ultimately ended up in hell: Don Giovanni in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's version, Don Juan in the ancient Spanish legend, and in Nikolaus Lenau's work, which inspired Richard Strauss's tone poem . Both works offer a captivating auditory experience, as does Henze's overture to a theater. Carl Maria von Weber's favorite instrument was the clarinet, perhaps also because he was commissioned by the Bavarian King Maximilian I to write his Concerto No. 1. While widely performed internationally, it remains (for now?) a hidden gem in Vienna.

Liszt’s piano concertos challenge even the most virtuosic pianists, and his passionate Second is no exception, traversing the keyboard with knuckle-cramping, breakneck passages that render the player’s hands a blur. Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin, a “marvelous, moving” artist (The New York Times) whose “technical finesse borders on the supernatural” (The Seattle Times), is more than equal to the challenge. Buckle up for a wild ride in this virtuoso display!

The horn held a high status in the Romantic era. It was the instrument whose distinctive sound symbolized nature, the forest, and freedom. The German Hornsound ensemble will perform a full horn quartet in this school concert, playing Robert Schumann's Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra. The forest also plays a central role in the Romantic opera "Der Freischütz," whose overture will be heard in this concert.

Robert Schumann’s joyous First Symphony, written after his marriage to Clara Wieck, captures the optimism of spring. Philippe Herreweghe, a devoted admirer of Schumann’s music, brings this vitality to life. Contrasting in mood is Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24, performed by French pianist Bertrand Chamayou. This introspective masterpiece, where the orchestra becomes an equal partner in the musical drama, deeply influenced Beethoven’s own work. With these historic highlights, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra treats its Brussels audience to an evening of timeless brilliance.

That's what you call fate: While the bassoon is featured prominently as a soloist in many symphonies and operas, explicit solo concertos for this particularly dark woodwind instrument are rare. Carl Maria von Weber, the composer of the rather dark opera "Der Freischütz," wrote a bassoon concerto in 1811: an ideal playing field for the French bassoonist Marceau Lefèvre. The Italian conductor and pianist Vanessa Benelli Mosell frames Weber's rarely heard gem with timeless works: Wagner's Ringfarbige Musik der Freude über seinen neuen Sohn Siegfried (Ring-colored Music of Joy over His Newborn Son Siegfried), and Schubert's arguably best-known and unfinished symphony, whose two movements are among the finest of the entire 19th century.

Sometimes gently swaying, sometimes wildly stomping – this is how the successive waltzes in Carl Maria von Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" sound. With this piece, originally composed for piano, Weber created a depiction of the intoxicating love of dance of his time in 1819. The Spanish composer Manuel de Falla – the music world will celebrate his 150th birthday in 2026 – was so fascinated by a performance of the "Ballets Russes" in Paris that he wanted to create music for a ballet himself. Inspired by the dancer Pastore Imperio from his homeland, de Falla studied the tradition of Andalusian flamenco and the singing style of "cante jondo" and, on this basis, wrote the ballet "El amor brujo" (The Love Spell) for voice and orchestra in the winter of 1914/15, from which he transformed a year later into a symphonic suite with voice. The solo part is played by Ieva Prudnikovaite, who is currently delighting audiences as Carmen at the Lübeck Theater.

Music and Congress Hall Lübeck

An evening that invokes the spirit of Romanticism: the overture to »Der Freischütz« introduces a key work from the era, whose magic spell was cast early in the Dresden career of Carl Maria von Weber. Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor combines poetic expression with formal clarity. First performed in Dresden in December 1845, the work sees the piano and orchestra enter into a lively dialogue. The programme concludes with Mendelssohn’s »Scottish« symphony, an atmospheric piece permeated by a sense of vastness, melancholy and hymn-like power. Drawing inspiration from a visit to Edinburgh’s Holyrood Palace in 1829, the young composer did not complete the symphony until twelve years later.

Celebrated American conductor Jonathon Heyward returns in a program featuring the all-star Kanneh-Mason siblings in Beethoven’s rarely performed Triple Concerto, effectively a concerto for piano trio and orchestra. Mendelssohn’s “Italian” Symphony takes inspiration from the composer’s travels in Italy, reflecting the sunny countryside, imposing architecture, and spirited local dances.

Romanticism is the 19th century; it is the magic of nature and great emotion, it is the deaths of love and the bliss of redemption. But this era was also filled with the passionate energy of dances and lavish celebrations.

The programme begins with a work by the Grammy-winning composer Jessie Montgomery, who hails from New York’s Lower East Side. Renowned for her socially inspired and richly layered music, Starburst, written in 2012 for string orchestra, radiates energy and colour. It clearly portrays the rapid formation of large groups of stars in the galaxy, with its use of gesture and compositional approach.

The "Freischütz Overture" had already established itself quite early on. Independent of the opera to which it actually belongs, it enjoyed a remarkable career in the concert halls. Carl Maria von Weber incorporates the central elements of the opera's plot in it. The forest atmosphere, the Wolf's Glen, and Agathe's love aria characterize the overture, which anticipates the opera's happy ending in radiant C major.

Philippe Herreweghe, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, and Robert Schumann form a golden trio. Decades of collaboration have cultivated a deep affinity for Schumann’s music, making each performance a profound experience. Joining them is German cellist Marie-Elisabeth Hecker, born in Schumann’s hometown of Zwickau, for a long-awaited reunion after their celebrated recording of Elgar’s Cello Concerto. Schumann’s own cello concerto, once overlooked, now shines as one of the Romantic era’s finest, blending lyricism with heartfelt emotion. The programme concludes with his hopeful Second Symphony, a testament to resilience in the face of personal darkness. Together, Herreweghe and the Antwerp Symphony deliver a concert that speaks directly to the soul.

Spohr, Weber, Schubert, and Haydn—four titans of Classical-Romantic music history! Undoubtedly, they were pioneers in their respective musical paths, intuitively grasping the trends of their time and laying the foundations for future generations of composers. One thing is certain, however: without the others, they would probably not have existed, nor would they have achieved the virtuoso brilliance for which they are still celebrated today. A mutual influence was clearly present and contributed to the development of the musical landscape of their time. One example of this interaction is the connection between Franz Schubert and Carl Maria von Weber. Although they took different musical paths, as contemporaries they shared a common era of transition from Viennese Classicism to Romanticism. Schubert, inspired by Weber's operas, incorporated some of his ideas into his songs and music-dramatic works, thus coming closer to the Romantic ideal of musical expression.

Spohr, Weber, Schubert, Haydn – Classical! Romantic!

Guest Concertmaster Alexandra Preucil and violist Antoine Tamestit lead a thrilling exploration of Hungarian music and culture with the raw passion of Bartók's duos, the folk-infused charm of Weber's Andante e Rondo ungarese, the dazzling virtuosity of Sarasate's Zigeunerweisen, and the fiery rhythms of Brahms' Hungarian Dances.

Visible from afar, the imposing Elbphilharmonie building towers over Hamburg's Hafencity as the metropolis's new landmark and one of the world's most exciting concert venues. The Duisburg Philharmonic's invitation to make its debut there in September is also a sign of the esteem in which this traditional orchestra is held far beyond the borders of its home city - a philharmonic accolade, so to speak. And for this special occasion, conductor Stefan Blunier has put together a program that revels in the most beautiful Romantic tones: Among the most popular operas of all time is "Der Freischütz", for whose overture Carl Maria von Weber anticipated the greatest hits of his Romantic opera. Full of catchy melodies, the yearning and melancholy First Violin Concerto by Max Bruch, played by Diana Tishchenko, a well-known singer to Duisburg audiences, follows . And finally, Antonín Dvořák's Eighth Symphony, a work overflowing with musical ideas. The "melodies just fly to me," the composer wrote of this cheerful and life-affirming work, for which he borrowed some themes from Bohemian folk music. The exuberant orchestral jubilation at the end of the symphony provides a fitting conclusion to this guest performance in the far north.

The early string quintets on this program represent the passions of their composers: W. A. Mozart, the avid violist wanting to join the ensemble, and Luigi Boccherini, the premier cello virtuoso of his day. The works by these quintet pioneers are juxtaposed with Romantic nineteenth-century essays in the genre, demonstrating the evolution of this versatile grouping. An all-star roster of violinists includes Indianapolis Competition-winner Richard Lin, Kristin Lee, and Julian Rhee.

Johann Sebastian Bach was not only a scholarly composer, but also a popular one. In 1742, he wrote a "Cantate burlesque" in Leipzig, a roughly half-hour-long work later referred to as a peasant cantata . Its distinctive character is not only due to the Saxon dialect in which some sections are written, but also due to the inclusion of dance forms and folk song melodies.

"I make, play, write, compose, write lyrics, sing, pluck, and bow so many different kinds of music because it's the most natural thing for me. Limitless, just like the world is," says double bassist and composer Georg Breinschmid. And so it happened as it had to: Festival Prize winner Matthias Schorn found a soul mate in Breinschmid, who promptly tailored a rustic composition for them both.

Clarinet and string quartet: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart tried this combination for the first time in 1789 - and it was a great success. The quintet that Carl Maria von Weber composed 26 years later for the clarinetist Heinrich Joseph Baermann was just as popular. The fact that both pieces are still among the most popular of their kind today is not only due to their magical sound and melodies, but also to the humorous, cheerful mood that connects them. The path to Joseph Haydn, the grand master of musical humor, is of course not far. It was probably an enterprising publisher who first heard the many bird calls in his famous quartet op. 33 no. 3, to which the piece owes its sales-boosting nickname: "Bird Quartet".

‘I am the new Bacchus, pressing out glorious wine for the human spirit’ declared Ludwig van Beethoven. True, he wasn’t known for his modesty – but until you’ve heard his incredible Seventh Symphony in full, heart-pounding flight, you’ve never known just how intoxicating music can be. This is music that demands total commitment, body and soul and we can expect the young British conductor Adam Hickox to raise the roof tonight. First, though, he joins the RPO’s own Principal Trumpet, Matthew Williams, in the delightfully operatic concerto by Beethoven’s great friend Hummel – and ventures deep into the dark heart of the German forest in the Overture to Weber’s supernatural shocker Der Freischütz. The perfect opener to an evening of music to set the pulse racing.

The penultimate concert of the season transports us into the world of 19th-century German vocal music. Prague's Rudolfinum will first resound with Weber's overture to his most famous opera Der Freischütz, considered the first German Romantic opera in history and a cornerstone of Romantic music itself.

Florian Illies had his big breakthrough as a chronicler of the German sensibility with his first novel, Generation Golf . Most recently, his feature compilations 1913 and Love in Times of Hate have delighted audiences. These works bring the eras shortly before the world wars to life. Most recently, the trained art historian Illies turned far back into German Romanticism and, in his novel Magic of Silence, based on the life of the painter Caspar David Friedrich, traced an era of German history that bears the seeds of modernity. He presents Friedrich as a painter of God-fearing inwardness on the edge of the abyss of abstraction. The symphony concert Sound of Silence provides the soundtrack and shows that Friedrich was not the only one to take this artistic path.

Schubert’s “Great” C major Symphony is considered by many to epitomise romanticism in orchestral music. The first call of the horns is typical of the era – evoking a sound world that is at once warm, idyllic and full of yearning. Conductor Zubin Mehta has included two further Romantic works on the programme: Carl Maria von Weber’s overture to the fairy-tale opera Oberon and Henryk Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No. 1, with its combination of heartfelt expression and overwhelming virtuosity. Himari, who comes from Japan and is just 13 years old, makes her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker as soloist.

“And the whole thing ended happily,” wrote Weber about his new opera Der Freischütz to his bride Caroline Brandt in March of 1817. But before everything can end happily ever after in this eerie story about fear of failure, societal constraints, and the individual’s right to happiness, the abyss opens up, and for a moment it seems as though evil will prevail. Max, the young forester, knows that his social standing and romantic prospects are dependent upon his performance at the traditional test of skill in marksmanship. But the only way he sees to pass the test involves a deal with the devil. Kaspar, disillusioned, has already submitted to the devil. And Agathe, betrothed to Max, must ask herself: “Do I leave myself to the hand of Fate?” Troubled, she tries to fight against what she perceives to be her destiny’s inevitability. Like all of the characters in the opera, she believes that her God has a true enemy. Weber created a unique musical context in which his characters’ thoughts and deeds all take place in a religious-demonic world, one that is entangled with the dark powers
