He has conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra well over 200 times since his debut in 1954. He is an international great, having worked with the Dresden Staatskapelle, Gewandhausorchester in Leipzig, Berlin Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris and above all, the San Francisco Symphony, where he spent a decade as chief conductor. In conjunction with his 90th birthday, when he conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Konserthuset Stockholm named its large conductor’s dressing room after him. He turns 95 this year.
At this welcome return, he leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in Arthur Honegger’s third symphony, composed shortly after World War II. Here, in perhaps his best known work, Honegger describes human joy and despair. The music can be interpreted as a journey from brutality to hope and peace.
Brahms’ fourth and final symphony is infused with melancholic anxiety. It also undergoes a transformation, from difficult twilight to dark night. The fact that Brahms’ symphonic role model was Beethoven is well known and is also evident in the fourth symphony. But this does not mean imitation. The last movement is a dense and striking passacaglia, in which a recurring line of melody in the bass part forms the foundation for the dramatic, passionate finale.

The symphony is known as the Fate symphony, because Beethoven is said to have stated that the four notes constituting this familiar theme sound like “fate knocking on my door.” This striking music transitions from dark to light and is infused with thrilling action, filled with dramatic contrasts.
The music is performed by Lucerne’s historic symphony orchestra. The ensemble was founded in 1805 and is thus one of the oldest orchestras in Switzerland. The orchestra tours regularly and is now guest-performing at Konserthuset for the first time, along with Michael Sanderling, who took over as chief conductor in the 2021/22 season. Sanderling was previously chief conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic from 2011–2019 and is a highly coveted guest conductor all over the world.
We also hear Dvorák’s energetic, passionate piano concerto with Swiss Francesco Piemontesi as the soloist. He is known for his thoughtful interpretations of Romantic piano concertos, and regularly performs with the world’s leading orchestras. In recent years, he guest-performed with the London Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic and Boston Symphony, and in 2021 he made his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic.

She was a composer and one of the leading figures of the suffragette movement fighting for women’s right to vote in England. She was one of the first female composers to be appointed Dame of the British Empire.
Her concerto for the unusual combination of violin and horn is romantic, passionate, and filled with melodic enchantment. The soloists are the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s concertmaster Andrej Power, violin, and Martin Schöpfer, solo horn player.
The symphony in D minor is César Franck’s most significant work. The music unites a splendid German sound with French esprit. Franck was born in Liège, Belgium, and moved to Paris where he was a teacher and organist. His students encouraged him to compose the symphony in D minor, which he dedicated to his student Henri Duparc, who himself became a highly prolific composer. Conductor Laureate and former chief conductor Sakari Oramo leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

In a collaboration with St. Jacob’s Chamber Choir and Scandinavian star soloists, they perform Handel’s monumental masterpiece.
Messiah was originally intended to be performed at Easter and premiered at a charity concert in Dublin on 13 April 1742. It was immediately a huge success and Handel presented it to much acclaim at London’s Foundling Hospital each year until his death in 1759.
Numerous stories from the Old and New Testaments are compiled in Messiah, each presented with Baroque means of musical expression spanning from spiritual elevation to temperamental volition. The Hallelujah Chorus is one of the most famous sections.

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.”
German conductor Christoph Eschenbach leads the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. Eschenbach has been chief conductor for several of the world’s top orchestras and is now head of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
Christoph Eschenbach has guest-performed at Konserthuset and with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra many times before, and debuted with the orchestra in 1974 – as the piano soloist in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. He has been frequently invited in the past decade, particularly as one of the world’s leading conductors of Mahler and Bruckner’s repertoires.

He has taken the stage at Konserthuset Stockholm many times before and is a very popular guest. Now we hear him in Stravinsky’s neoclassical and playfully melodic Violin Concerto, in which each movement begins with a sharp chord as if to say: Listen up – it’s starting now!
French composer Florent Schmitt studied at the conservatory in Paris under Jules Massenet and Gabriel Fauré, and was friends with Ravel and Erik Satie. While he gladly took away impressions from everything he came into contact with, his music is very French. The sonically shimmering and La Belle Époque-infused La Tragédie de Salomé was originally intended as a ballet. It was an immediate success.
The opening piece is Finnish Sebastian Hilli’s striking Miracle, and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra will be led by its chief conductor designate, award-winning American Ryan Bancroft. “A dancing conductor bodes well for the musicians,” wrote newspaper SvD after the 2021 Nobel Prize Concert.

At this concert, we hear him in Edward Elgar’s Violin Concerto, which was an immediate success after the world premiere in 1910. “It is good! Incredibly emotional! Too emotional, but I love it!” he said of his violin concerto.
Richard Strauss was a great admirer of Richard Wagner. Influenced by Wagner, Strauss abandoned the abstract, classical symphonies and sonatas of his youth and began to compose great tone poems inspired by literature and nature instead. In 1889, he completed the symphonic poem Don Juan, based on the poem by Nikolaus Lenaus, which is in turn based on the Spanish legend of Don Juan.
In addition, we hear music by American composer Paola Prestini for the first time at Konserthuset. Prestini, born in 1975, works with everything from poets and filmmakers to researchers and has become known for her innovative ideas and for crossing the boundaries of genre and uniting discrete disciplines. We hear one of her early works here: Barcarola, from 1996.
Italian Speranza Scappucci conducts this concert. She is a frequent guest at the world’s major opera houses, for example in Vienna, Rome, Zürich, Los Angeles and New York – and now it is time for her debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

When Beethoven composed the symphony, Napoleon had besieged Vienna, which had a deep impact on Beethoven. The second movement has been interpreted as a tribute to human suffering, and the finale as a triumphantly inspired victory. With its powerful rhythms, it is one of his most muscular symphonies.
After hearing Schumann’s Overture to Scenes from Goethe’s Faust, Franz Liszt wrote that the music had made a “most beautiful and powerful impression.” Times of sorrow and distress were at least temporarily behind Schumann, and he soon wrote his dreamy and passionate cello concerto. “I cannot compose for the virtuosos; I must try something else” – and that is what he did in this music.
The cello soloist is German Nicolas Altstaedt and the conductor is Philippe Herreweghe, who specialises in early Romantic music. They have performed together on several occasions and are now making their debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra together.

She debuted as a soloist with the Wiener Jeunesse Orchester at age 14 and since then she has performed throughout Europe and Japan. She now makes her debut at Konserthuset together with Camerata Salzburg.
Camerata Salzburg regularly tours the world, from Paris to Beijing. They primarily perform music from the First Viennese School and with a connection to Salzburg, which has made Camerata Salzburg a cultural ambassador and international symbol of Mozart’s hometown. The orchestra is one of the primary ensembles at both the Salzburg Festival and Mozart Week, and has their own subscription series in the main hall of the Mozarteum Foundation.
The music at this guest performance at Konserthuset is thoroughly Austrian. We hear Julia Hagen as the soloist in Haydn’s original and virtuosic Concerto in D major. We also hear Bruckner’s Andante and two early works by Mozart – including the soulful Symphony No. 29, which with its exquisite form and style more closely resembles a piece of chamber music than symphonic music.

Unsuk Chin describes the music as a sort of fast-forwarding through history, in which music from different eras emerges in new forms and blends together. Unsuk Chin was featured at Konserthuset’s 2013 Composer Festival.
Richard Strauss composed many works with his wife Pauline as the source of inspiration – she was a renowned soprano. He was in his 80s when he came upon a poem by Joseph von Eichendorff about an aging couple who, at the end of their lives together, observe the setting sun and ask themselves: “Might this be death?” This inspired him to begin composing a song cycle that was never completed. After Strauss’ death, his publisher put the four completed songs together, naming them Vier letzte Lieder, “Four Last Songs.”
As vocal soloist, we hear the young soprano Christina Nilsson, who confirmed her place on the opera scene with her sensational debut role as Aida with the Royal Swedish Opera in 2018. She has performed with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra several times, most recently at a summer concert in 2019.
Beauty and tranquillity continue in the Pastoral Symphony, in which Beethoven describes life in the countryside in the early nineteenth century. He gave the various movements painterly names: “Awakening of Cheerful Feelings Upon Arrival in the Countryside”, “Scene by the Brook”, “Merry Gathering of Country Folk”, “Thunderstorm” and “Shepherd’s Song”. It is a bright, musical journey through the countryside, with only a storm disrupting the idyllic scene.

He is known for his expressive playing, dazzling virtuosity, and the deep sound of his Matteo Goffriller cello from 1701.
Capuçon was soloist for the world premiere of American Lera Auerbach’s cello concerto in Munich in 2021. The piece is now being performed for the first time with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, which commissioned the work. Auberbach, born 1973, is also a poet and a visual artist.
The conductor is French Lionel Bringuier, who debuted with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra as a substitute in January 2022. He works all over the world at the invitation of prominent orchestras and opera houses, and is currently connected to the opera house in his home city of Nice.
Two French works follow the intermission. We hear Paul Dukas’ symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, after Goethe’s poem by the same name. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is also well-known music from the Disney movie Fantasia. The poem is about an apprentice who gets a broom to carry water for him, but cannot get it to stop. Last, we hear Albert Roussel’s most popular work – the dramatic and colourful Symphony No. 3.
