The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/schiff/Sir András Schiff has received countless international prizes for his masterful piano playing. He also frequently appears these days as a conductor and soloist, including at this concert with a focus on Bach, Beethoven, Haydn and Schubert.
The slow movement in Bach’s Concerto for Harpsichord and Strings is among the most beautiful pieces ever to be composed. It was played in a famous scene in Woody Allen’s 1986 movie Hannah and her Sisters, in which Max von Sydow also had a role as an artist. Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 is playful and masterful, with a delightfully lyrical and melodic second movement.
The overture to Rosamunde contains one of Schubert’s best-known melodies. He thought so much of it, in fact, that he reused it in one of his string quartets, which is thus entitled the Rosamunde Quartet, and in an Impromptu for Piano, where it is a theme in six variations.
Haydn’s twelve final symphonies – he composed 104 of them – are thought to be his best. His position with Furst Esterházy had finally come to an end and he was able to take other assignments. An offer from a London-based impresario to compose twelve symphonies was too good to turn down. His masterful Symphony No. 97 is the fifth of the twelve London Symphonies, composed just a few years before Beethoven’s first piano concerto. The similarities in the music are also tangible.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/clara-schumanns-piano-concerto/Together with Chopin, Liszt and Kalbrenner, Clara Schumann was one of the most prominent concert pianists of the 19th century. It is an unbelievable joy to get to hear her own compositions more and more often now. The Piano Concerto in A Minor had its world premiere in 1835, and Clara, whose last name was still Wieck at the time, was 17 years old and played the solo herself. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducted.
In the concerto, which is in the same key as her husband Robert’s piano concerto, composed ten years earlier, it is truly the piano which gets to shine. It is a dazzlingly masterful musical eruption – with clear influences from Chopin! This imaginative and surprising music effervesces with youthful verve and energy.
Brahms hired two rooms in the postcard-perfect village of Pörtschach am Wörthersee in southern Austria. “It is wonderful here,” he wrote to his publisher Fritz Simrock just after his arrival. Soon he sent an excerpt of his new symphony to his good friend, the surgeon and skilled amateur musician Theodore Billroth, who wrote back to Brahms: “The rippling streams, blue sky, sunshine and cool green shade can all be heard here. It must be beautiful in Pörtschach.”
The concerto begins with Robert Schumann’s vivid Overture, scherzo and finale, which he occasionally called his “symphony number two.”

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/oramo/Elegance and refinement, along with restlessness and worry, characterise Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, composed in the summer of 1788. He had financial worries; his wife Constanze was ill; and the opera Don Giovanni had not been especially successful at the Vienna Opera. He withdrew and over the course of nine weeks, he composed his three greatest and most accomplished symphonies. The fortieth is the second of the three, and one of only two of all his symphonic works in a minor key.
In the piece Accused (2014), with extravagant colours and contrast, Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg has created a fascinating world of sound that tells the story of three historic interrogations. The lyrics are excerpts from the interrogations of Théroigne de Méricourt during the French Revolution; the interrogation by East Germany’s security police, the Stasi, of residents during the Cold War; and finally, the trial of Bradley Manning (now Chelsea Manning).
Together with Esa-Pekka Salonen and Kaija Saariaho, Magnus Lindberg is among the trendsetting group of Finnish musicians and composers who became known in the 1970s and 80s. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s chief conductor Sakari Oramo and soprano Anu Komsi are also among these incredibly prominent Finnish names in music.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2019/mozarts-jupiter-symphony/Italian conductor, pianist and early music expert Luca Guglielmi debuts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, four musicians from the orchestra will present solos. A sinfonia concertante is a cross between a symphony and an instrumental concerto with several soloists. One of the finest examples of a sinfonia concertante is Haydn’s for oboe, bassoon, violin and cello.
The concert begins with the overture to Mozart’s opera Idomeneo, in which the action plays out on Crete following the Trojan War. After the introductory burst, a storm swells up on the ocean and we can genuinely hear the crash of waves in the violins’ rolling runs.
During a hectic summer three years before his death, Mozart composed his final three symphonies. The forty-first symphony, his most grandiose, was also his last. The finale is one of Mozart’s biggest feats. Beginning in the simple theme with only four notes, we are pulled into an unparalleled listening adventure filled with captivating melodies and counterpoint finesses. An utterly magnificent masterpiece. The symphony is entitled Jupiter after the god from Roman mythology.
Jupiter also shows up in German-Swedish composer Joseph Martin Kraus’ opera Proserpin, but here as a mediator in a drama of love and morals. Kraus moved to Stockholm in 1778 and is often called the Mozart of Sweden. Both were born the same year and it is also possible that they met in Vienna where they were both active simultaneously for a period of time; they were also both Freemasons.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/tchaikovsky-piano-concerto/Pianist Beatrice Rana is a young Italian musician who is now ascending the international music scene, much to the delight of audiences and critics. She debuted with an orchestra at the young age of nine and has already become a regular soloist of the major stages in Vienna and Berlin, Wigmore Hall in London, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Lincoln Center in New York.
Now Rana and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra will unite under the baton of Sakari Oramo in a programme which the orchestra will begin with a symphonic poem by Sibelius from 1892. This is a tale with no specific narrative, but with an atmosphere like “the expression of a state of mind,” as he himself once said. Next we will hear a symphony which ultimately proved to be Anders Eliasson’s last, a powerful piece whose three movements run into one another without pause: rolling and swaying, charged and lyrical, one after the next.
The melancholy atmosphere left behind by Eliasson’s symphony will shift after the intermission with Tchaikovsky’s famous Piano Concerto No. 1. With grand gestures, it contains a masterful piano section, colourful orchestral playing and captivating melodies with folkloric elements.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/franz-welser-möst-conducts/In 2018, conductor Franz Welser-Möst received the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s Eric Ericson Honorary Chair, and beginning in autumn 2020 he will lead the orchestra for two weeks each season. The collaboration is based on the excellent relationship that arose between the orchestra and conductor following their first concerts together, and which has deepened throughout the years.
Richard Strauss composed several pieces that described phenomena or environments that were beyond music. He called them tone poems. Aus Italien is one of the first and he referred to it as a symphonic fantasy. On a trip to the countryside, he was utterly overcome, which is evidenced in the music as we take a tour of the rural scenery, visit Roman ruins, behold the ocean from the shore of Sorrento and are fascinated by Neapolitan public life.
Composer, clarinettist and conductor Jörg Widmann often uses elements of older classical music in his imaginative compositions. He is one of Germany’s most acclaimed names in music and was tasked with composing a large oratorio for the opening of the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg in 2017. The Babylon Suite is a version for large orchestra with music from his opera Babylon, which was a huge success at the Bavarian State Opera in 2012.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/lvb250--beethovens-first/Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 will be performed at this concert beside Ethel Smyth’s large-scale Serenade. Like Beethoven she had a defiant personality, and she staked claim to her life as a composer through his piano sonatas.
The world premiere of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1 was on the evening of 2 April 1800 at the Burgtheater in Vienna. The composer was 29 years old and already famous for his music, which he composed with irrepressible willpower and potent personal integrity. He simultaneously gave a nod to his teacher and predecessor Haydn: the symphony begins with a slow section that elegantly leads into the quick-paced main section, a form which Haydn used in many of his symphonies.
The symphony is idyllic, nearly rural at times, but also dramatically powerful with whirling strings and a majestic wind section.
When English composer Ethel Smyth (1858–1944) began to learn Beethoven’s piano sonatas, it was like “walking on my own legs into a brand new world.” They coloured her for life. At the conservatory in Leipzig, she later met Dvorák, Tchaikovsky and Grieg, as well as Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Her Serenade for orchestra is as large-scale as a symphony. Beethoven was an incredibly strong source of inspiration, and elements of Brahms can also be found here.
Chief conductor Sakari Oramo leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at this first concert presenting all of Beethoven’s symphonies during the grand Beethoven anniversary.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/lvb250--beethovens-fifth/Two incredible symphonies strengthen one another at this concert: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Dora Pejacevic’s grandiose Symphony in F-Sharp Minor.
Beethoven’s fifth symphony may be the most played classical piece in the world. It is a musician’s symphony, a piece about which it is impossible to be neutral. In his book on Beethoven, former Konserthuset director Åke Holmquist wrote that the symphony is “scaled down and incredibly concentrated, with violent contrasts, easy to follow, and – if one so wishes – with ‘action’: from darkness to light, from struggle to triumph. In addition, the Fifth is thought, like no other piece, to portray the myth of Beethoven: alone against destiny, the battling titan, who can only prevail through conflict.”
Composer Dora Pejacevic (1885–1923) was among, albeit reluctantly, the Croatian nobility around the turn of the last century and was largely self-taught as a composer. She died at just 37 years old due to complications from the delivery of her first child, but she left behind over one hundred pieces including a piano concerto, songs, string quartets, piano pieces – and this unparalleled symphony imbued with traces of late romanticism.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra plays under the baton of chief conductor Sakari Oramo.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/nicola-benedetti-plays-prokofiev/With incredible charisma on stage and unparalleled musicality, Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti has positioned herself as one of the most prominent soloists of classical music. Here, she will tackle Prokofiev’s elegantly lyrical and endlessly surprising second violin concerto.
Victoria Borisova-Ollas’ Open Ground for symphony orchestra is inspired by Salman Rushdie’s novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet. How stable is the ground beneath our feet, really? Who would have ever dared to imagine what it feels like when it suddenly starts to rock? Borisova-Ollas poses these questions in this music.
With his second symphony, Sibelius lifted his gaze from the refined fairytale world of the national epic, the Kalevala, and focused instead on Europe and his contemporary era. It was composed in a time when Finland was fighting for its independence from Russia and has been interpreted as a patriotic tone poem in the struggle for Finnish identity, which was probably not at all the case. Sibelius did not want to politicize his music. Either way, this magnificent symphony overflows with beautiful melodies and shifts between tranquillity and outbursts, intimacy and passion. Chief conductor Sakari Oramo leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/bruckners-eighth/Anton Bruckner’s voluminous and sonically sumptuous symphonies never cease to amaze. The balance between the overarching musical architecture and the smaller details is always exquisitely even. The Eighth Symphony became Bruckner’s last complete symphony and is a summation of all of his compositional achievements. After completing the work on the magnificent finale, Bruckner concluded: “This is the most significant orchestral movement I have composed in my entire life.”
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra will be led by German conductor Christoph Eschenbach. He has guest performed at Konserthuset and with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra on many occasions before, and debuted with the orchestra in 1974 as the piano soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. For the past ten years, he has been invited to return at regular intervals, especially as one of the world-leading conductors of the Mahler and Bruckner repertoires.
Christoph Eschenbach has previously served as chief conductor for a host of the world’s foremost orchestras and as of this season, he is chief conductor of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.

The link has been copied https://www.konserthuset.se/en/programme/calendar/concert/2020/mozart--strauss/The charismatic conductor Manfred Honeck has had a unique career. For over ten years, he has been chief conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and previously served as head of the Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. He is also a regular and very popular guest conductor of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.
Here, Honeck will lead the orchestra in Mozart’s Symphony No. 39, the first of his final three symphonies composed in the summer of 1788. It is also one of just three of his symphonies to begin with a slow and magnificent introduction before the first movement’s powerful allegro begins. The symphony is a brilliant creation by the master Mozart, nuanced and elegant, yet also full of surprising turns and drama.
Richard Strauss wanted to compose something in the same heroic style as Beethoven’s Eroica. He did precisely that in Ein Heldenleben – A Hero’s Life. Through the music, we follow Strauss’ hero through feats, out on the battlefield, together with his life companion and to the inevitable conclusion. This music can be considered a depiction of a heroic destiny in general, but the hero in this musical narrative is undoubtedly Richard Strauss himself.
