Conductor

Ludwig van Beethoven’s first Piano Concerto is a youthful work that in many ways captures the emergence of the composer’s style. In this concert, Sweden’s Radio Concert Hall Berwaldhallen and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra welcome for the first time the British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. After the intermission, conductor Yoel Gamzou will the lead the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in the British composer William Walton’s emotionally powerful first symphony from 1935.

Benjamin Grosvenor in Beethoven’s  Piano Concerto No 1

Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci

Opéra Berlioz

"The success was tremendous and unprecedented! Critics, artists, amateurs and music lovers were intoxicated ... The auditorium roared apart, loudly proclaiming the new miracle." Thus a report on the premiere in 1821 at the Berlin Schauspielhaus. Der Freischütz struck a chord with the times, every barrel organ played the "Jungfernkranz", every street singer performed it, as Heine reports. Weber had discovered the material in an old ghost book. The story of the hunter Max, who devotes himself to the devil in order to win his bride, touches on people's primal fears. The forest, the epitome of the "German soul", becomes a battleground between good and evil. Weber's music depicts the plight and despair of the people with gripping emotionality; the hope of a happy ending is evoked with fervor. Romantic drama and folk play in one, Der Freischütz is set somewhere between dream and nightmare, fascinating to this day.

Der Freischütz

Staatsoper Hamburg

In the summer of 1910, Gustav Mahler wrote his very last work - which he never finished before his death the following year. Only the first movement was orchestrated and ready for performance. Since then, several have tried to creep into Mahler's universe of thought and complete his sketches and drafts for the rest of the symphony – among them the Israeli-American conductor Yoel Gamzou, who this evening conducts his own take on a performance version of Mahler's 10th Symphony.

Grønnemose Skole

With both Mahler's overwhelming last symphony and Per Nørgård's transparent and light-filled violin concerto with a Danish super talent as soloist, Copenhagen Phil is preparing for an unforgettable concert with music from both the beginning and the end of the 20th century.

Mahler's 10th.

Konservatoriets Koncertsal

Dressed as a man and calling herself “Fidelio”, Leonore surreptitiously gains the confidence of the jailer Rocco and his daughter Marzelline, thus gaining access to the high security tract where her husband Florestan has been despotically incarcerated by Don Pizarro. Florestan is in mortal danger, but this does not intimidate his wife, who is determined to liberate him. Finally, however, the two of them can only be rescued by an emissary from the monarch. At the end, a Utopia in the form of a final chorus sets the stage aglow, not only as a plea for freedom and justice, but also concurrently as a condemnation of the anxieties and restrictions of human existence.
