A composer of our time, Detlev Glanert, meets an icon of Classical music, Johannes Brahms. Glanert answers Brahms’ highly complex, dense, headstrong last symphony with a piece that he casually titles “Music with Brahms.” In this wildly dynamic orchestral piece, he reveals himself to be the successor to the great Romantic composer. The contradictions between gods and people are the theme of the poems Nänie by Friedrich Schiller and Schicksalslied by Friedrich Hölderlin, which Brahms put to choir and orchestra. His Romantic musical language proves to be the keeper of Classical-humanist tradition.

Hailed as one of the greatest violinists of our time, Augustin Hadelich returns to the MSO to perform Brahms’s soulful Violin Concerto. Music Director Ken-David Masur conducts Brahms’s Third Symphony, a nostalgic work with a recurring musical theme of “free but happy;” wrote Clara Schumann, “All the movements seem to be of one piece, one beat of the heart, each one a jewel!” The program opens with a companion piece to Brahms’s Third Symphony: Glanert’s Vexierbild (“Hidden Image”) draws direct inspiration from the Third, but in Glanert’s words, “it’s my own Brahms.”

“A Grecian maiden” was how one 19th century critic described Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony, but no words really do justice to the sparkling humour and pure, irrepressible life-force of this firecracker of a symphony. It’s a perfect counterpart to Detlev Glanert’s stunning new Harp Concerto – inspired by the harp’s ancient roots and glowing with the sunlight of Ancient Greece.

The Hamburg State Orchestra's Philharmonic Concerts become time-plays, transcending the boundaries of the ordinary: This concert showcases Detlev Glanert's play with Haydn's way of thinking – his new composition, inspired by the Farewell Symphony, is juxtaposed with the original. Haydn thus encounters us today as a mirror of the past and, through Glanert, as a part of the here and now. This unabashed musical play opens up new perspectives on our musical culture, our thinking and being, and our way of receiving music.

Lasso didn’t choose to have the childhood he had, being brought up by Popa, a frazzled single mother who not only has her son to take care of but also a rowdy pub to manage. Which is why Lasso leaves home to seek his fortune. Along the way he hears about Princess Scharada and her three riddles. A man can ask her three questions: if she fails to answer them correctly, he gets to marry her and rule the realm; if she solves the riddles, he is put to death. But whatever happens, Lasso will not only have travelled the world and crossed paths with robbers, wild boars, astrologers, clairvoyants, scheming politicians and stern ladies-in-waiting – he’ll also have found a great friend and companion. In his THE THREE RIDDLES, an erratic blend of fairytale, social drama, road movie and full-scale opera, composer Detlev Glanert presents a witty, zany and slightly scary story of two very different children, who team up to hold their own in the big, wide world and find their own way.

The presenters are also members of the orchestra and, at 14 to 19 years old, are just as old as their listeners in the audience. As the sponsoring orchestra of the Berliner Philharmoniker, the National Youth Orchestra will play for grades 5 to 13 in the Main Auditorium of the Philharmonie Berlin on 30 April 2025 and provide information about the orchestra and its repertoire: Where do most of the members come from? What do conductors have to say? Which parts are particularly challenging?

Beethoven's legendary letter to the “Immortal Beloved” inspired Detlev Glanert to write his Second Violin Concerto. Glanert wrote a work full of longing and passion for the violinist Midori; he has admired her since her days as an internactionally-acclaimed child prodigy. Midori is also the soloist in this performance with the National Youth Orchestra under the direction of Patrick Lange. The orchestra, of which the Berliner Philharmoniker is a patron, will also play Johannes Brahms' First Piano Quartet in Arnold Schoenberg's colourful orchestration.

As Germany's youngest top orchestra, the Federal Youth Orchestra regularly exudes its energy in the Cologne Philharmonic Hall. The young talents present contemporary music with passion and include the Japanese violinist Midori in their midst.

In 1812, Beethoven wrote a love letter to an unknown lady that has occupied generations of researchers but also inspired musicians. In his violin concerto, which he wrote in 2019 for the violinist Midori, Detlev Glanert sees the words in Beethoven's famous letter as notes and the declaration of love as music. After the overture by Beethoven's student Ferdinand Ries, the master himself takes center stage in the 7th Philharmonic Concert: with the cheerful, thoughtful piano piece "Andante favori", which Roland Böer arranged for orchestra, and with his always surprising and not very triumphant 8th Symphony.

Immortally in love

Our celebration of Mozart begins at the very end. The circumstances surrounding Mozart’s unfinished Requiem are shrouded in mystery, but the music’s sorrow and beauty speak across the centuries. The Adagio and Fugue, another late work, is a dark and almost mystical vision. Acclaimed bass-baritone Dashon Burton returns to the SLSO in Detlev Glanert's arrangement of Brahms’ final song cycle, the Four Serious Songs.

Hommage an einen Revolutionär. Mit einer visionären Filmmusik, die einst das hr-Sinfonieorchester uraufführte, fünf im Ausdruck verdichteten Charakterstücken und einem Kammerwerk der Rückbesinnung feiert das Forum N Schönbergs runden Geburtstag und bereichert ihn zudem um neue Schlagzeug-Klänge. Der große Repräsentant der Zwölftontechnik ist dabei mit einer faszinierenden Antithese zur aufkommenden Effektmusik des frühen Tonfilms zu erleben, die er für eine imaginäre Lichtspielszene der Zukunft schrieb, aber auch mit seiner frühen, noch tonalen 2. Kammersinfonie, die erst in reifen Jahren fertige Gestalt annahm. Außerdem bieten André de Ridder und das hr-Sinfonierochester eine Begegnung mit Schönbergs berühmten Orchesterstücken op. 16, die vor allem eins sein wollen: »ein ununterbrochener Wechsel von Farben, Rhythmen und Stimmungen«. Dazwischen präsentiert Christoph Sietzen die Deutsche Erstaufführung des neuen Schlagzeugkonzerts von Detlev Glanert, das im Mai 2024 im norwegischen Bodø seine Uraufführung erlebt.

Two different centuries, and two very different – but equally heartfelt – fourth symphonies. Semyon Bychkov conducts music by Detlev Glanert and Johannes Brahms.

Studio Concert: Glanert and Brahms

After this premiered to critical acclaim, his Second Symphony took less than a year to complete, bursting out in all its colour and glory. From the lush, pastoral landscape of the opening movement to the grand, triumphant finale, every moment is packed with sweeping emotions and lyrical tunes. Glanert’s Idyllium is inspired by Brahms’ music and pays homage to the great Romantic composer.

Artistic inspiration and passion shine as Brahms’ Third Symphony is paired with modern-day composer Detlev Glanert’s response to the work in this musical dialogue of a concert. The Third Symphony, one of Brahms’ most personal compositions, has been described by music critic Eduard Hanslick as “artistically the most nearly perfect” of the composer’s collection. Multi-Grammy Award-winning violinist James Ehnes joins the conversation, returning to St. Louis to share his rendition of Bruch’s impassioned Violin Concerto No. 1.
