Exploring the Symphony: A Series of Musical Masterpieces with Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz

Is there a more bombastic life's work than that of John Williams with 54 Oscar nominations, 68 Grammy nominations and almost all composition commissions for the Spielberg films? It's almost reminiscent of Mozart and Da Ponte. To be honest, the eight billion people on this earth are probably more familiar with the Star Wars fanfares than Don Giovanni. Incidentally, the Hollywood sound was invented by Erich Wolfgang Korngold...

Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz

Whether you're a great genius or an average Joe, you always see yourself as the center of the world, that's clear. After all, that's the only point of reference we always have. In art, the idea is also held in high esteem that great masterpieces arise from suffering. Many composers, including Brahms and Beethoven, actually considered themselves to be...

In 1935, Anton Webern followed the example of his teacher Arnold Schönberg, who had studied Bach's music intensively between the two world wars. Following his teacher's ideals, Webern orchestrated the "Ricercar" from Bach's "Musical Offering". Alban Berg, also a student of Schönberg, saw his violin concerto as a requiem for Manon Gropius, who died of polio at the age of just 18. A..

There is life between ashes and dust, but which one? Before we become fluff in space, it would be good to create something that lasts forever. Maurice Ravel was very close to death his whole life.

Colourage's music oscillates between worlds. The ensemble's name "Colourage" (from colour, collage and courage) is an expression of the concept of creating something new from the intensive encounter of different musical cultures. Tonight Colourage will meet a chamber ensemble from the State Philharmonic to embark on a new musical journey together.

Liszt's great cycle of studies has accompanied me my entire life - what young pianist would not be thrilled by this music full of enthusiasm, full of dazzling virtuosity, but also full of intimacy and contemplation?

A concert without a stage or fixed seats. Is it still a concert? Yes - and it is more than that. It is an experience for the body and soul. Barefoot, on carpets, simply in the middle of people. Without distraction, completely present in the moment to listen to the sounds of the instruments. It is a concert, but it is also relaxation, experience and above all: feeling.

Anyone who thinks that Wagner's "Ring Without Words" is something like a low-fat fried carrot and celery schnitzel with a dollop of low-fat quark will be surprised. The "Ring Without Words" is more of a rip-off. Because if you condense the 15-hour tetralogy into 1.5 hours, you get syrup. ...

Under the title HOPE of this year's series, the composer Anton Bruckner is honored on the occasion of his 200th birthday.

Speyer Cathedral

Bruckner was a small man who wore big suits. He would have turned 200 this year. He was attached to his hometown, reserved and not particularly communicative. He wrote all of his nine unsuccessful marriage proposals in letter form - some even to women he did not know personally. His last attempt reads something like this: "Hello, I'm Anton Bruckner, the famous composer. Would you like to marry me?"...

Flirt

Composers are also just people who hoard useless stuff because they can't part with it. Or rather, the memories attached to it. They are people who give gifts to dear friends because they would like to spend more time with them, because they admire certain people or because they miss someone. Maurice Ravel and Edward Elgar are such examples. With their music they built...

Maurice Steger will be performing in a dual role as conductor and soloist. The symphony concert with the German State Philharmonic Orchestra of Rhineland-Palatinate will be "very British".

… and if people listened to more music together, if they were more likely to be inspired and carried away by music, instead of striving for more and more power and money, there would be less pain in the world …

 "With devotion" - Assai sostenuto - is written above the beginning of the Missa Solemnis in the score. Beethoven wrote down over 30 such sensitive tempo markings in his Opus summum, and it is due to the greatness of the conductor that he recognizes the importance of this metric schedule. For it is the musical and practical equivalent of the famous "From the heart -...

Gifts that come from the heart are the best. You can tell that the person you are giving has put some thought into it. Beethoven's "Missa solemnis" was a heartfelt gift for his friend Archduke Rudolph of Austria. "May it go from the heart to the heart," Beethoven wrote at the beginning of the score. If you don't have time to compose a mass, you can go through the hoops and give concert tickets.

He philosophizes about the meaning of life and comes to the conclusion that all his successes, which he owes to the devil, are meaningless. Because it is only shortly before the curtain falls that Faust comes to the fundamental realization that his constant striving for "more" has never fulfilled him and...
